Join library licensing experts for a live launch of their new book, e-Resource Licensing Explained: An A–Z Guidebook for Libraries, published by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL). The guidebook includes easily digestible legal explanations and pragmatic strategies for preserving rights that users already have under US copyright law, particularly in the face of restrictive license terms that would otherwise constrain or eliminate those rights. During a panel discussion in the webinar, the authors will share insights, challenges, and guidance for understanding and negotiating license agreements, with a focus on interpreting and drafting fair use and computational research rights. There will be ample time for a live question-and-answer session.
