Ben Taplin: Strategies for effective content licensing

Electronic publishing has brought huge changes to the provision of information and to the role of librarians and other information professionals.  ‘Ownership’ of content is no longer a simple matter of receiving and storing print copies on a shelf.  Publishers and intermediaries license access to electronic resources, and so the licence has become a feature of most sales agreements. Information professionals consequently need to become familiar with the terms and conditions of licences, their meaning and their implications.

In this presentation Ben Taplin (Licensing Specialist, Jisc Collections) will look at some of the problems that licences can present for librarians, and the implications they should be aware of when accepting publishers’ terms and conditions. He will also discuss how Jisc Collections works to address these issues with its own model licence in the UK.
