I taught a copyright workshop for Amigos Library Services last week in Euless, TX. I promised that I'd post a link here to past training materials on licensing electronic materials that I thought were quite good. It was taught by Sybil Boutilier, the Contract Officer for San Francisco Public Library. I know Sybil, and attended this workshop in 2002. She is very savvy about negotiating electronic licenses. I had to negotiate a trainer's contract with her when I did a series of workshops at SFPL. Trust me, it's better to be on the same side of the table with her than agin' her! She's always pleasant, but very very firm.
