- ----------------------------Original message----------------------------
- This is being cross-posted to govdoc-l, pacs-l, help-net, libref-l, and
- libadmn. My apologies for any inconvenience.
-
- During the Presidential campaign, I downloaded and printed for use by
- our students numerous speeches and position papers from the candidates.
- The documents were downloaded from nptn.org, clinton@marist, and
- info.umd.edu.
-
- We would like to permanently retain this material. However, our
- Associate Librarian for Reference and Information Services has posed
- the question of whether or not the material is copyrighted. To carry
- the question a step further, can we assume that information found on
- databases accessed through gophers, for example, are public domain
- unless copyright ownership is specified? How are other libraries
- handling this situation?
-
- PLEASE CORRESPOND DIRECTLY TO ME as I have some of the lists set to
- nomail. I will summarize responses and post to the list. Thanks in
- advance for your input.
