[CASL-L] [EXTERNAL] Re: Copyright/ Fair Use Question

[Porier, Anne]

Thank you, Barb and Maureen, for your thoughtful and informative responses!
Maybe at some point CASL (or one of the experts among us) can run a session
on the nuances of copyright law and how school libraries can be compliant,
if others are interested.

Thank you so much!
Anne
