New book available on licensing e-resources

[Becky Albitz <rsa4@psu.edu>]

Good Morning:

As many of us know, very little educational material is available 
for the new electronic resources librarian who has no experience 
with licensing or negotiating pricing for databases and 
e-journals.  After ARL stopped offering their online licensing 
course (which Trisha Davis and I co-taught in its final two 
years), I wanted to find another way to teach others what I have 
learned, often the hard way.  I am hopeful that the publication 
of my book--Licensing and Managing Electronic Resources--which 
will be out in the U.S. any day now, will help fill that void.

Here is some information from the publisher's site:

And the link from Amazon (can't believe my name is on Amazon!):

http://www.amazon.com/Licensing-Managing-Electronic-Resources-Albitz/dp/1843344327/ref=sr_11_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1213094165&sr=11-1

I apologize for the blatant self-promotion (my publisher told me 
I had to) and for the price, which I can only blame on the weak 
dollar.

Thanks!
Becky
