Description: This webinar will introduce an increasingly common method for negotiating library materials and services: the memorandum of understanding.

Finally, it will offer tips and resources to help librarians work with MoUs in their day to day practice. Learning outcomes: * Introduction to MoUs as a concept and an institutional tool * Librarian preparation to contribute to and interpret MoUs * Resources for developing MoUs and best practices for using them Who should attend?
