This webinar will introduce an increasingly common method for negotiating library materials and services: the memorandum of understanding. It will present the MoU as a tool for lower-stakes arrangements that still require formal documentation and describe how MoUs are different from a standard contract under the law and in institutional practice. Finally, it will offer tips and resources to help librarians work with MoUs in their day to day practice.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Introduction to MoUs as a concept and an institutional tool
  2. Librarian preparation to contribute to and interpret MoUs
  3. Resources for developing MoUs and best practices for using them

Who Should Attend

Librarians, especially collection managers and administrators who negotiate partnerships and business agreements.
