Scholarly Communications work often requires librarians to provide advice regarding publisher requirements and agreements, contracts, etc. Elisabeth Shook, Librarian for Copyright and Scholarly Communications, will provide an overview of the commonly used phrases and provide guidance in demystifying the world of publisher legalese.

Do you have a question about a specific piece of publisher jargon? Please submit your question in the form below.

Submissions are anonymous. Responses will be discussed at the April 9, 2019 OpenCon Librarian Community Call (https://www.opencon2018.org/community_calls) and recorded in our agenda/notes document (http://bit.ly/ECLCall).
