Contract law is becoming more important to libraries. Nearly all libraries are engaged in contract negotiations, and regularly sign license agreements for software, online databases, and other information products in digital form. License agreements allow the library to use information products under certain conditions. Libraries play an important role in negotiating licenses that allow for the broadest use rights possible, including the right to lend, preserve, and make a fair use of a work. Training will focus on the databases provided by the Nebraska Library Commission, including FirstSearch, Electric Library, Wilson Web, and Books in Print.
