Create a new license template

Overview

Create a license template for your use and make it public so other libraries can use it. There are two ways to create a license template:

1. Create a new license template.
2. Clone a template as "Private."

Vendors group the titles libraries license into collections.  The collections in the Collection Lookup list are stored in the WorldCat knowledge base.
