LM_NET: Library Media Networking
I have yet to see someone like Carol Simpson reply to Roberta Ponis' question
about using students' work without permission, but I think those of you who
say it may be ok might be off the mark. I attended a great workshop last year
at EMAnj given by Carol, and she told us that students' work is protected by
copyright and that we DO need permission to keep and use it. As soon as
someone's work is in "fixed form" (written, recorded or typed into a
computer) it is protected by copyright, and that includes students' work.
There are rules by which one may use a student's work for presentation to the
class, but it belongs to that person and does not become the property of the
school or anyone else. Carol, help me here if I'M not getting it straight,
but I've done lots of research in the past year, and I feel confident I
understand this part.
