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.
