Library Licensing: A Manual for Busy Librarians

Autor Corey Halaychik, Blake Reagan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 2019 – vârsta până la 17 ani
This clear and concise manual will help librarians understand licenses so that they can become better reviewers, drafters, and negotiators.Libraries purchase or subscribe to countless resources that are governed by licenses-both digital products and physical objects like rare books or equipment. Many librarians, however, lack the legal expertise to comprehend and assess the clauses found in licenses. Authors Corey Halaychik and Blake Reagan have reviewed and edited thousands of contracts and use the lessons they've learned to help librarians sort through the often archaic and confusing language found in licenses. Library Licensing is a key reference for anyone responsible for reviewing, editing, negotiating, and agreeing to licenses that govern library resources. It contains essential information that will allow the reader to not only understand the language used in contracts but also to replace confusing and redundant language with clear and concise alternatives. Organized with ease of use in mind, chapters are written for quick and easy consultation and application.

Recenzii

This is a solid guide for understanding, creating, and managing licensing agreements. Even readers with little experience will gain confidence and be able to approach contract negotiations from a position of knowledge and strength. Library professionals without ready access to legal advisers will refer to this work time and again.
This book is highly recommended for all types of libraries. It provides an accessible overview of contracts and would be very useful for anyone who deals with contracts or who has an interest in academic publishing or contracts in general. The authors state that their intent is to help improve their readers' contract-review, drafting, and management skills. They have definitely succeeded!
Library Licensing provides an entry point for new librarians and may be a practical refresher for other librarians charged with contract review and licensing.
