Of the second edition of “Licensing Digital Content: A Practical Guide for Librarians,” American Reference Books Annual declared, “Lesley Ellen Harris’s book has become the standard for libraries and has yet to have an equal published that is either as useful or as clear.”

Covering the basics of digital licensing for librarians, the new third edition, published by ALA Editions, provides a freshened look at all the key issues as well as updated sample agreement clauses. Giving library professionals and students the understanding and the tools needed to negotiate and organize license agreements, Harris uses a plain-language approach that demystifies the process. Her guide:

• explains licensing terminology and discusses changes in technology, including developments such as text and data mining
• points out opportunities for cost savings
• features many useful tools such as a comprehensive digital license checklist
• provides sources of additional information on the global aspects of licensing, and
• walks readers through educating organizations that have signed license agreements.
