Description: Some law librarians continue to be involved, to some extent, in negotiating contracts with vendors. Negotiations with large vendors can be intimidating, especially for newer librarians. Law librarians in all work situations and levels of experience are welcome to participate. Senior librarians are invited to share their experience and perspectives. This session will provide practical tools, tips and checklists to assist law librarians in the various phases of contract negotiation.

During this session, participants will:

Receive a copy of the Electronic Resources negotiation form used at U Windsor Law Library.
Consider the preparation phase of negotiation.
Share best practices and tips for contract negotiation and recognize negotiation tactics used by vendors.
Review the follow-up and tracking phase of negotiation.
Receive a copy of the Electronic Resources renewal checklist used at U Windsor Law Library.
