This is a great website designed by the University of St. Francis, Joliet, IL. It is the most user friendly explanation I've seen. Topics/locations include
- Fair Use Harbor
- Background Beach (why should teachers care)
- Multimedia Wharf
- Single Copying Inlet
- Cove of Multiple Copies
- Audio Visual Lagoon
- Dist-Ed Point
There is even a shakedown cruise to determine what you really know. Any library media specialist should take this to find out how much you think you know.
