[LM_NET] Copyright question: using book jackets for displays etc

[Anne Oelke <cflibrary@CF.K12.WI.US>]

I've been searching the archives and the 'net--and the Surf report 
resources, but I do not find an answer to this question:
Can I use a digital image of a book jacket to display on a bulletin 
board to promote books?

For example, I'd like to put a picture of a book jacket on a raindrop 
shape for a "Spring Showers Bring Reading Hours" bulletin board in the 
high school library.  These are all books we own, I'm promoting the 
book, I'm not depriving the owner of the copyrighted material on the 
book cover of any earnings.  This is not published in any way. 

Reading Carrie Russell's Copyright column in School Library Journal, 
Feb. 1, 2008, I'm inclined to think that this is fair use.
