NISO Webinar: Streamlining and Simplifying: Advances in Consortial Licensing

======================================================

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

The process of license negotiation has always been a tortuous one for
both publishers and librarians. Librarians have begun to leverage
their strength in numbers and to simplify the process of license
negotiation through the use of consortial licenses that cover more
than a single institution. The use of consortial licensing, the terms
and conditions, and the ease in which they can be negotiated and
implemented continue to evolve.

This webinar from the National Information Standards Organization
(NISO) will explore some of the developments in consortial licensing
and will look at new directions and ways to improve the processes.
