Summary
  • "This Guide to Licensing and Acquiring Electronic Information provides direction and suggestions for the selection, acquisition, and licensing of electronic materials for libraries. The steps involved in the process of purchasing most existing electronic formats are clearly delineated, and issues from policy concerns, through access and ownership, to licensing and the role of consortia are covered. Special considerations for selecting and purchasing material in electronic formats are also included, as well as a sample set of licensing guidelines.".
  • "Bosch, Promis, and Sugnet provide an extensive bibliography of a variety of print and electronic sources organized by subject and conclude with a comprehensive glossary of electronic-format terms commonly used in the library world. While written primarily for educational institutions, this guide will be of value to all libraries."--BOOK JACKET.
