Book Title: E-Resource Licensing Explained

Subtitle: An A-Z Licensing Guidebook for Libraries

Authors: Rachael Samberg; Katie Zimmerman; Samantha Teremi; Erik Limpitlaw; and Sandra Enimil

Book Description: Published by the Association of Research Libraries and written by library licensing experts, this guide is intended for librarians and library professionals who license electronic resources (e-Resources). E-resource license agreements can be challenging to understand, much less negotiate. This guide puts complex legal concepts and terms into understandable language for those librarians and library professionals without legal training. For each term of an e-resource license agreement, the book explores: essentials of the law, desired results, desired language, tricks and traps, and overall importance and risk. Additional sections and practical tools will be added over time. The authors welcome feedback from the library community to help shape future updates: licensingbook@arl.org.
