In the good old days, all we had to master was the Copyright Law
and Fair Use. We would acquire a book or a journal, post and monitor a
"fair-use" photocopy policy, and go on about our activities.
Now,instead of receiving print materials, we become connected with
online resources. With each new digital information product,there
arrives a separate license. Each contains its own private "copyright"
terms imposed by contract.This course provides an introduction to
license provisions and terminology, comparing the license and copyright,
and managing the licensing process. Through lecture, instructor debate
and student participation,you will learn strategies for developing a
license management model, including building a team for license
evaluations and negotiation; conduct a clause-by-clause analysis of an
existing license agreement; develop negotiating strategies; and discuss
techniques for building a productive relationship with the legal
department.

Space is limited!
