Elsa,
I took this out of Copyright Catechism: practical answers to everyday school
dilemmas, 2005 p. 67
It would NOT, as you say, be fair use. Of course, you can always ask for
permission. The publishers might agree since this promotes their material and they
get the proceeds. However, when you go to pg. 75 Displaying Book covers on the
web - You have the fair use right to make a copy of ONE graphic from a book and
retain that graphic for use in teaching. However, redistributing that graphic to
the world (Internet) is NOT a fair use right. Soem publishers may not care,
others do. But you do not get to make that decision.
Good luck!

Subject: [LM_NET] GEN: Copyright Question
(GEN)
Hi everybody. I need your help with a copyright question, please.
As part of promoting literacy in our school, I wanted to include the faculty
and staff who read by printing and displaying a picture of the cover of the
book they are reading (as a subtle way to entice students to ask about the
books and talk about literature). However, I was told that this is copyright
infringement.
Is this true?
I thought this would be covered under the fair use law, but I was told that
it isn't.
We *are *going to use this for educational purposes not for monetary
reasons. In fact, this may even help publishers, writers, etc. because
interested people might even go out and buy the books.
What can I do? I thought maybe I could display along with the cover the name
of the publisher and artist as a way to give credit to them and not break
any copyright laws. What do you think?
Thank you.
