Ownership of Faculty Works (fwd)

Earlier today I sent the following message to the list. A short while later came the needed information from our moderator, but actually in response to another subject. Nevertheless here is a useful quotation:

I followed these instructions and searched the terms "faculty and hire." There it was! The set of messages from December 1993 regarding the work-for-hire doctrine as applied to faculty works. It was a discussion worthy of reruns. Thanks, Mary, for making the technology and the information so close at hand! Happy reading,
