[Publib] sheet music copyright question

[John Fossett]

Folks,
In a recent discussion about sheet music copyright my colleague insisted
that it was OK to scan sheet music into a digital file and e-mail it,
however it is a violation of copyright to fax sheet music. My position -
duplication is duplication regardless of the technology involved
therefore scanning would violate copyright just as faxing would. Anyone
care to weigh in? 
Thanks,
John

Subject: [Publib] Preservation Question

Hello!

My name is Meg Park, and I am currently an MLIS student at the
University of 
South Carolina.  I am enrolled in a Preservation class this semester,
ans was 
hoping some of you could assist me with some statistics.  I need to get
an 
idea of the following:
1. How much time is spent repairing books damaged by patrons?
2. What is the monetary cost of making these repairs?
3. What are some examples of damage that occurs?
4. How are damages handled in your library?
5. Is there any tyoe of marketing done towards patrons in regards to 
preventing damage?  To staff?

It would be great if you could send any information to my e-mail address
-

Thanks you in advance for any assitance you can provide.

Sincerely-
Meg Park
