Licensing and Negotiation Skills
Many useful resources have been developed by those involved in licensing and negotiating access for library resources. We have provided links to a number of these resources as a reference point for librarians and consortia members to assist them in their own career development and to help when training or advising their peers. The main areas included are materials for licensing and copyright matters and also links to materials which may outline or assist in negotiation techniques and strategies.
These materials come from a variety of sources, including Association of Research Libraries, The International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA), the European Bureau of Library, Information and Documentation Associations and eIFL.
The list is by no means exhaustive, so if you have additional resources you would like us to include please contact inasp@inasp.info

Authors and Authority: Perspectives on negotiating licenses and copyright
ALA Midwinter 2006: SPARC/ACRL Forum
David Hoole of Nature Publishing Group, Michael Carroll of Villanova University School of Law, and John Ober of California Digital Library shared views on how the copyright landscape has changed with the introduction of authors' addenda being attached to publisher agreements and the initiation of large-scale efforts like Creative Commons and Science Commons.
Within PERii, INASP undertake workshops and outreach activities aimed at capacity development in the area of Licensing and Negotiation Skills. Our workshop materials are currently being revised for sharing via our website and will be posted once available.
