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.
