> License Review And Negotiation
> Building A Team-Based Institutional Process
>
>
> Purpose and Overview:
>
> This two-day workshop will:
>
> 1. review the legal foundations of license agreements;
>
> 2. engage the participants in a review of license terms and conditions;
>
> 3. highlight the importance of and present strategies for developing an
> institutional process for license review, negotiation, and
> administration; and
>
> 4. provide participants with an opportunity to assess and practice
> negotiation skills.
>
> The first day of the workshop will provide an overview of the legal
> foundations of license agreements and an in depth look at typical
> license terms and contract language for electronic information resource
> agreements. Included will be an introduction to and analysis of
> contract law, copyright and other intellectual property law relevant to
> licenses, as well as discussion of the proposed revisions to the Uniform
> Commercial Code. In addition, participants will examine and discuss
> definitions of license language including "users", "use", and "access",
> as well as legal, and business terms. The second day will develop the
> concept of building a process that includes institutional, library, and,
> where appropriate, consortial level participants, drawing on their
> expertise to develop policies and procedures as a team. Participants
> will then have an opportunity to assess and practice their negotiation
> skills, followed by a discussion of negotiation strategies. The
> workshop will conclude with a review of license m anagement activities
> that are necessary once the agreement is signed.
