Target group and learning objectives
	The "Electronic Publishing: Libraries as Buyers, Facilitators, or Producers" course was designed for library managers/directors, IT or systems librarians, licensing officers, and digital library project managers from academic and research libraries. The course was highly relevant for publishers because it gives them insight in their field. Participants should leave the course with: a sound knowledge of the current changes in the information chain, possible roles for libraries and opportunities; insight in the strategy of other (commercial and scholarly) players on the market; knowledge of relevant copyright issues and of different approaches toward licensing and forming consortia; practical techniques of negotiating with suppliers; knowledge of a selected number of technological issues in electronic publishing.
