This appeared on another list. It seemed germane to this one, even if only as a solved(?) fair use problem.

I have recently begun to scan sections of classical texts (2 or 3 paragraphs and up to 3 pages), covert them into Commond Ground documents, and link them to my hypertext course outline. It is a natural evolution for course materials that are used as reference readings in, say, an overview of the history of philosophy. It is not practical to have students purchase 4 texts (e.g.,Plato, Kant, Bentham, Mill) when the 'overview' section of the course will only 'touch the material' rather than use it as the basis for sustained reading and analysis. By extension, key articles from jounals and anthologies will be scanned, reformated in Page Maker, and used in a class-specific course packet. With all copyright issues dealt with up front, this process becomes a model for customized course offerings (and isn't that what many teachers want?)...
