EDUCATION: K-12: CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES AND PROJECTS : COPYRIGHT: RESOURCES: Places to Learn About Use of Resources in the Classroom in Terms of Copyright and Intellectual Property Issues
One very important resource for getting advice and guidance on copyright in classroom use of media resources is the CNI-Copyright discussion group and its archives. Another pertinent discussion group is the Liblicense-L list. CNI-Copyright is inhabited by lawyers and law professors who specialize in copyright and intellectual property issues and questions about these issues are entertained on the active list and much discussion has been recorded on the topic of concern to you in the searchable archives of the CNI list.
