On the subject of copyright, I have a book by Carole Simpson regarding
copyright and school libraries; however, this is my personal copy.  My
teachers and I struggle with the issues every day--usually me telling them
that I can't allow them to download software on other computers when it is
restricted to only a few specific computers or photocopying an entire
book--they NEED the basics but I won't be able to have a workshop with them.

Does anyone know of a "cheap" resource that gives the educational copyright
basics?  Is there a website that I can refer them to that has it all nicely
bundled?  The problem, of course, is that there are so many issues that most
of things that I've found are really lengthy and legal.  I need a simple (C.
Simpson) book that describes things.  I really don't want to summarize her
book for them.

What would be really nice is a questionnaire determining their "copyright
intelligence" because until they see what questions are posed and how these
legal situations are being broken by their ignorance (or avoidance) of the
issues and laws, they won't believe me.

Thanks.
