How to Read a Contract
In our joint webinar with SPARC and Authors Alliance, called How to Read a Contract, Sandra Aya Enimil, Program Director for Scholarly Communication and Information Policy at Yale Library and ONEAL Project founders Scarlet Galvan, Collection Strategist Librarian at Grand Valley State University and Katharine V. Macy, Collection Assessment Librarian at IUPUI presented a variety of strategies to help librarians learn to approach contracts with the kind of fine-toothed comb that finds loopholes and snags. “Read a contract the way you read the work of your enemy,” advises Enimil. And in an entertaining hour long session, almost 400 people joined us to read contracts—and then read them again.
