[LM_NET] Copyright issue

Target: Copyrights

 

Our school owns and uses a textbook that offers excellent examples of
Business Letters, Resumes, MLA Citations, etc. My question is this:

I would like to create a bulletin Board that posts a copy of these
examples from the textbook. Can I do this with a blurb, that says these
examples have been taken from so-and-so textbook on such-and-such date.
My rational is that our school owns the textbook and the examples are in
the textbook that we own.  Thank you for letting me know if this is all
that I need to say on the Bulletin Board that I create, and that it is
all right to copy these examples. 

 

Could I also make copies of these examples to place in a folder, for
students to take if they need it? If so, how many copies can I make for
student use? It is only for students in our school. 

 

Thanks so much for your help.
