This is how I have chosen to interpret their copyright statement: The "original subscriber" is not me, but my library, just like the mailing label says. No teacher ever makes enough copies for the "entire school". Consequently, any copies made in the library for "individual classroom use" should be a-ok. Patricia Hartye, Librarian Meherrin-Powellton Elementary School Lawrenceville, VA patricia.hartye@brun.k12.va.us ________________________________ From: School Library Media & Network Communications on behalf of Lanor Ward Sent: Fri 12/7/2007 12:15 PM To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Subject: Copyright question At a state conference I heard some librarians talking about their school system not ordering The Mailbox magazine because of copyright concerns. According to them, the only person allowed to make copies from the magazine is the original purchaser. Therefore, it would not be legal to purchase a copy for the library and let other teachers check it out and make copies. The copyright statement on the contents page reads: "All rights reserved. Except as provided herein, no part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted by any means, electronic or mechanical, without permission from the publishers. ... Permission is granted to the original subscriber to reproduce pages for individual classroom use only and not for resale or distribution. Reproduction for an entire school or school system is prohitited..." According to them, The Education Center has that policy so that more teachers would have to purchase their own subscriptions to the magazine. If it is true, I will no longer subscribe to the magazine. Is anyone else aware of this? Comments? Opinions? Also, some of the professional books in my collection have the same statement. Does that mean I should not circulate them? Thanks in advance for any help you may give.
