Before you write for permission, review the Fair Use guidelines and any
literature you have from the publisher that accompanies the original
material.
You may already have that right. If you determine that you do (and I would
think that would depend on restricting the audience for the material to the
students taking the class), why risk giving away that right? 
I don't mean we should disregard publishers' rights, I mean we should fully
use our own under Fair Use and under our traditional understanding that
language students should have access to the material provided for them by
the publisher. 

Yes, when it's clear that we want to go beyond typical use of materials
(i.e., opening them to a larger audience, changing the substance, etc.)we
want to get permission. Otherwise...?

PS to anyone who may be interested:
You know that Phil Ochs song about CHANGES?

   Sit by my side, come as close as the air,
   Share in a memory of gray;
   Wander in my words, dream about the pictures
   That I play of changes
   
   Your tears will be trembling, now we're somewhere else,
   One last cup of wine we will pour
   And I'll kiss you one more time, and leave you on
   the rolling river shores of changes.

All this is to say that my e-mail address has changed as well. It is now
simply 
[log in to unmask]
no longer [log in to unmask]

Cheers,
Ed
