partnering with the Carterette Series Webinars to host the following
session…*



*Licensing for Accessibility: Ask Me Anything*



*Friday, August 23, 2024 *



*2pm Eastern *(11am Pacific | 12pm Mountain | 1pm Central)



*Cost:* Free



*Description: *At the end of 2022, the E-Resources Management Working Group
of the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN) published a guide to
negotiating accessibility with vendors. This guide is meant to serve as a
reference tool for library staff involved in licensing and e-resources
management as they advocate for strong accessibility assurances in their
formal contracts with service and content providers. In the process of
creating the guide, the working group members were reminded of the
incredible value of asking questions, having discussions, and sharing
experiences when it comes to license negotiation. With that in mind, please
join us at this Ask Me Anything session to discuss licensing and
accessibility with a larger community. We’ll give a brief presentation on
the background of the project and then open up the room to questions.
