CENTER FOR RESEARCH LIBRARIES - Jan 25, 2012

http://www.crl.edu/news/7583

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The LIBLICENSE project (including the liblicense-l discussion group
and the website) has a new home. After 15 years at Yale University,
the project has completed the second phase of its move to the Center
for Research Libraries. CRL now hosts and provides technical support
for both the listserv and website, including the complete archives of
liblicense-l (containing over 17,200 individual messages).

The LIBLICENSE project was initiated in 1997 by Ann Okerson, at that
time Associate University Librarian at Yale University, now CRL’s
Senior Advisor on Electronic Strategies. It benefited from funding
from the Commission on Preservation and Access, the Council on Library
Resources (both since merged into the Council on Library and
Information Resources), and the Digital Library Federation. Over the
years, the LIBLICENSE project has created unprecedented resources for
professionals seeking to understand the emerging world of licensed
scholarly resources for libraries. The licensing material is updated
at intervals, with links to many library, NGO, and vendor resources.
Also in 1997, as a companion to the website, liblicense-l began
discussion of licensing, scholarly communications, and related topics.
This moderated international discussion forum now includes
approximately 3,800 librarians, publishers, attorneys, and others in
the information supply chain.

The liblicense-l listserv moved to CRL in November 2011; the newly
transferred website (liblicense.crl.edu) now features updated
infrastructure and design. The list of discussion group members was
transferred automatically, but the site has a new email address for
subscribing and for posting messages.

LIBLICENSE welcomes new participants. For more information, please
