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.
