Electronnic Resource Management and Licensing

Hi there! Welcome to my re-purposed blog, Nerdy/Cool Scale. This blog will collect my thoughts on the readings for LIS 855 Electronic Resource Management and Licensing, held at the School of Library and Information Studies (SLIS) at UW-Madison. We will be covering exciting topics, such as:

• copyright
• licensing (as it pertains to electronic resources)
• e-reserves
• pricing models and consortial arrangements
• distance education
• technological protection measures (digital rights management)
• data standards
• e-books
• perpetual access
• many other nerdy AND cool topics!

I might have to include more infographics to keep things spicy.
