[FC-discuss] creating a copyright How-To for professors whose slideshow presentations have unlicensed images

[D Parker Phinney]

I just wanted to bump this once (sorry).  I just put a bunch of time 
into the wiki page, so now it's really ready for you guys to pick at it 
and add in what i've missed.

We'd like to get a reasonably complete version done in the next couple 
weeks to publish on the Dartmouth website and start handing it out to 
professors.  Also, we're thinking about putting it in pamphlet form.

here's the link again:

thanks for your help!  hopefully this will be useful for other schools 
implementing OCW.  Once it's done, we'll also give it to the OCWC so 
they can add it to their list of resources.
