Hello friends and colleagues,

 I would like to request your input concerning a copyright
software
question.   As comprehensive library media centers, it has
been district
practice to lend software titles in our collections.  For
example, a
library purchases several copies of  Print Shop.  May these
copies be borrowed for short term
use?  This seems to be a gray area, not specifically defined
as either
permissible or forbidden by law.  I am seeking your
collective wisdom and
input on this sensitive issue.   Thank you for your help at
this hectic
time of the school year.
