From Library Journal Harris, ex-senior copyright officer in Canada and author of Digital Property: Currency of the 21st Century (McGraw-Hill Professional, 1998), has taken a complex subject and written, in lay readers' terms, guidelines for the licensing of digital content. She includes chapters on items such as the step-by-step process of the licensing experience, tips on different clauses for the agreement, and negotiation. There is also a good question-and-answer section. The author is very knowledgeable about the subject and feels strongly that licensing is something librarians can do for themselves without hiring an attorney. If there are any negative aspects of the volume, it's the price, which seems a bit steep for a book that runs 137 pages. While global issues are supposed to be covered, the author's primary interest is U.S. and Canadian copyright law. Harris also includes an appendix of sections 107 and 108 of the U.S. those libraries that license digital materials. Robert Martindale, Patent Libn., Dallas P.L.Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. From With an increasing number of digital products available, librarians have become negotiators and interpreters. With this in mind, the author, an expert on copyright law, has written a new edition of this sensible guide to library license agreements. The writing style is like what she advocates for your library’s licenses—straightforward and clear. Far from making negotiations a scary process, the guide helps librarians understand their position and that of the content provider. Chapters cover topics such as “When to License,” “Key Digital Licensing Clauses,” and “Un-intimidating Negotiations.” Appendixes provide the text of relevant copyright law as well as a “Digital Licensing Clauses Checklist.” Also included are a glossary and a list of free online resources for further information. Recommended for any librarian who may have to negotiate a license agreement. --Jack O'Gorman --This text refers to an alternate edition.
