Shrink-wrap and Click-wrap Licenses : Why Should Informational 
Professionals Care?

September 28, 2005
1:00 pm - 2:30 pm CT

What is a shrink-wrap and click-wrap license agreement, and why should 
information professionals care about them? Click-on license agreements are 
included in most off-the-shelf and downloadable digital products that are 
used by individuals or a company. When you read the small print of the 
"agreement," you may discover that your rights that you assume apply to 
traditional goods and services may not apply when you when you purchase 
digital products. These often unfair terms that are embedded in a product 
can jeopardize your computer security risk, and put your privacy in jeopardy.

This seminar will only address non-negotiated license agreements, and will 
provide an introductory framework to understand the legal concepts basic to 
licensing; a walk-through review of a shrink-wrap license, and the 
implications of key standard form terms that affect libraries.
