    Improving Library Advantage During Negotiations with ONEAL’s Gambit
    (2024-10-24) Macy, Katharine V.; Galvan, Scarlet; Fuson, Courtney
    Do you have to negotiate business terms and/or contracts for library resources? Do you want to learn more about how librarians can increase their bargaining power? Please join Katharine Macy, Scarlet Galvan, and Courtney Fuson of the IMLS-funded ONEAL Project (Open Negotiation for Academic Libraries, https://oneal-project.org) and explore a new open educational resource available to library workers who wish to develop these skills. Negotiating is often a skill set that is largely learned while on the job or through continuing education opportunities that may be costly and not library-focused. In addition, many library workers feel anxiety about the negotiation process. In this session, explore how negotiation skills: • create more productive conversations that create more options. • foster a sustainable relationship with resource vendors. • empower library workers through an open online curriculum to teach these skills. The session will introduce the Foundations learning module launched in April and the brand-new Strategies module launched in Fall 2024, which dives deeper into strategies (setting priorities, vendor and internal stakeholder management, and contracts and licensing strategy).

    Learn how to negotiate for a more sustainable future
    (2024-06-30) Macy, Katharine V.; Galvan, Scarlet; Fuson, Courtney
    Do you negotiate for resources or services for your library? Did you have to learn negotiation skills and strategies on the job? Did you never imagine that you’d have to understand the nitty gritty of contracts and licensing? If so, you will leave this session aware of a new free resource and community that can support you in developing your negotiation knowledge and skills. The ONEAL Project has developed a new open educational resource (OER) that includes lectures, readings, assessments, and hand-on assignments where learners will not only learn negotiation best practices and strategies but will also begin doing preparation work that can be immediately applied when negotiating on the job. In addition to learning about this resource attendees will learn about the community being created to provide support for library professionals as well as key issues and trends uncovered during community forums and through an interview research study. Note that the project has focused on creating content for academic libraries (community colleges, liberal arts colleges, universities, and related consortia) and MLIS programs wishing to teach this skill set. While the content developed around licensing is geared toward an academic audience, the negotiation strategy and planning techniques in the OER are widely applicable across all types of libraries. The Open Negotiation for Academic Libraries (ONEAL) project has been generously funded through the IMLS Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. Learning Objectives: Describe key issues facing library professionals as they negotiate with vendors. Access an open educational resource that will enable them to plan and execute strategic negotiations. Find a community that can support their efforts as they navigate sticky issues during negotiations.

    Open Negotiation Education for Academic Libraries – Introducing the ONEAL Project
    (2024-08-14) Macy, Katharine V.; Galvan, Scarlet; Fuson, Courtney
    CAUL welcomes the team from the ONEAL Project who will speak about the valuable work the organisation provides in developing curricula and open educational resources to support negotiation education for academic libraries and Master of Library Science (MLS/MLIS) programs. These resources introduce negotiation theory and practical strategy using academic library context of negotiating vendor agreements. The open curriculum will include introductions to critical issues in academic libraries as they intersect with contract negotiations such as user privacy, platform governance, emerging publishing models, author rights, and computational collections research. Speaking on behalf of the ONEAL Project will be Katharine V. Macy (Project Director/Principal Investigator), Scarlet Galvan (Co-Principal Investigator. Collection Strategist Librarian, Grand Valley State University Libraries) and Courtney Fuson (Co-Principal Investigator. Asset Management Librarian and Subject Liaison to Education at Belmont University). This session will be highly useful for library staff experienced with licence negotiations as well as those with less experience, and those likely to be involved in negotiations in future.

    (2025-03-23) Macy, Katharine V.; Galvan, Scarlet; Fuson, Courtney
    Many library professionals have experience negotiating licensing or business terms but not both. Optimal strategy requires negotiating both simultaneously, while collaborating. Through a detailed case study, participants will gain experience analyzing license and business terms, including analyzing both library and vendor data before working collaboratively to develop a negotiation strategy. Following this session, participants will be able to: Understand how to approach analyzing a licensing contract, Analyze library and vendor data to evaluate business terms, Develop a negotiation strategy that considers licensing and business terms.
