CD-ROMs and Copyright Concerns

["Maria Melssen" <mariamelssen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good afternoon,

I am a new member to the list and am looking for some information regarding
CD-ROMs and copyright.  We have several faculty members who want to use
materials that are on the CD-ROMs that came with the textbooks they plan on
using in their courses.  Uses are ranging from taking images from the CD-ROM
and inserting them in presentations that will be shown in class (and the
class will be recorded with the recording accessible to students on
BlackBoard/SharePoint) to taking test/review questions off of the CD-ROM and
putting those questions in their tests (which will be administered in
BlackBoard).  Does anyone have any handouts or other resources that I could
share with our faculty about the copyright implications of using CD-ROMs and
how the faculty can use CD-ROMs within the rules/laws of copyright?

Any and all advice is appreciated.

Best,

Maria Melssen
