Greetings,
Madeline, a sixth grader visited American Memory Staffers, Susan Veccia (of=
Learning Page and Institute fame), Leni Donlan (AMF '98, etc.), and Emily=
Howie (NDL's law librarian) in February to ask about rights issues relating=
to art on the Internet. She and I also had an email correspondence about=
some images on LC's website. Well, Madeline and her partners Katie and Kim=
finished their website (with error corrections and other edits to follow)=
and invited us to take a peek. =20
Folks here at the library seem to like it, so I thought I'd forward the=
information on to y'all.
Read the Interview with Susan, Leni, and Emily, and read what the sixth=
graders have to say about art rights in "From Pokemon=AE to Picasso, Art=
Rights and Wrongs", at <http://library.thinkquest.org/J001570> Their=
project just won the Silver Award in Thinkquest Junior's Art and Literature=
category. Thinkquest Junior is a national contest and Thinkquest Challenge=
is an international competition.=20
The site has a definite designed-by-kids look. It also makes the rights=
issues pretty understandable.
Betty
