With an increasing number of digital products available, librarians have become negotiators and interpreters. With this in mind, the author, an expert on copyright law, has written a new edition of this sensible guide to library license agreements. The writing style is like what she advocates for your library’s licenses—straightforward and clear. Far from making negotiations a scary process, the guide helps librarians understand their position and that of the content provider. Chapters cover topics such as “When to License,” “Key Digital Licensing Clauses,” and “Un-intimidating Negotiations.” Appendixes provide the text of relevant copyright law as well as a “Digital Licensing Clauses Checklist.” Also included are a glossary and a list of free online resources for further information. Recommended for any librarian who may have to negotiate a license agreement.
