Everyone is talking about Transformative Agreements in the abstract, but just what do they look like and how do they work?

Transformative agreements are, by nature, iterative, temporary and transitional but, at the same time, they all have certain features and fundamental principles that are consistent--from their stated objectives, to cost-shifting mechanisms, to the new open access workflows that are rapidly becoming standard business practice in scholarly publishing and library processes.

In this session, a trio of experts representing different stakeholder groups (library, consortium, publisher) will illustrate some of the practical aspects of their Transformative Agreements that all stakeholders navigating the sea of change in scholarly communication need to know.
 "We cannot control the winds nor subdue deceitful currents, but we can--by skill and care--trim our sails to ride the storm and steer our course to more promising shores!"
