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...? Ed 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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Edmund N.
