Sarah, it is illegal to scan other people's work and post it on your own website without permission of the copyright holder, who may be the publisher, the author, an heir, or a buyer of the copyright. And under current US law, virtually all material written in the last few decades is copyrighted whether or not a copyright notice is placed on it. Now for the good news: Government publications are usually in the public domain, having been paid for by the public. It is good ethics to acknowledge the source even if it's free. And permission is easy to obtain from some sources, especially if you want to reprint an older work instead of something that a publisher is currently trying to sell. Don't be shy--ask them!

I can't find any FREE ones except HSN. I am trying to set up a similar thing on my website and it hasn't been working too well (with my limited HTML capabilities ). I was wondering if it is legal to scan in journals and have them posted and archived on a website or will I have the feds banging down my door in a few weeks. ( parental unit is a librarian so I am sensitive to the copyright issue) If not does anyone know the URL for journals online that are FREE that I can include on my malacology links portion of my site Thanks Sarah Watson___@v Montgomery College Rockville MD Visit my <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/rainforest/canopy/2587"> http://www.geocities.com/rainforest/canopy/2587</A> begin 600 WINMAIL.DAT M>)\^(A8-`0:0" `$```````!``$``0>0!@`(````Y 0```````#H``$(@ <` M& ```$E032Y-:6-R;W-O9G0@36%I;"Y.;W1E`#$(`0V ! `"`````@`"``$$ MD 8`T $```$````0`````P``, (````+``\.``````(!_P\!````4@`````` M``"!*Q^DOJ,0&9UN`-T!#U0"`````$-O;F-H;VQO9VES=',@;V8@06UE<FEC M82!,:7-T`%--5% `0T].0T@M3$!51T$N0T,N54=!+D5$50```!X``C !```` M!0```%--5% `````'@`#, $````7````0T].0T@M3$!51T$N0T,N54=!+D5$ M50```P`5# $````#`/X/!@```!X``3 !````( ```"=#;VYC:&]L;V=I<W1S M(&]F($%M97)I8V$@3&ES="<``@$+, $````<````4TU44#I#3TY#2"U,0%5' M02Y#0RY51T$N1415``,``#D`````"P! .@$````>`/9?`0```!X```!#;VYC M:&]L;V=I<W1S(&]F($%M97)I8V$@3&ES= ````(!]U\!````4@````````"!
