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.
