About the Book

The revised second edition of this popular one-stop resource covers the basics of digital licensing for librarians in a plain-language approach that demystifies the process. Written from the librarian perspective, this second edition updates licensing terminology and changes in technology, covers opportunities for cost savings, includes further information on the global aspects of licensing, and explains how to educate organizations that have signed license agreements. Librarians play a unique role in license agreements and this book, which also includes a comprehensive checklist for a digital license, gives library professionals and students the tools needed to negotiate and organize license agreements.
