Someone has emailed me off list and questioned whether
I have the "right" to publish on my website
"bibliographies prepared by others without their
permission."

If you have sent me a suggestion and you do not want
me to include it on my list, please let me know.  I
have not saved all of your emails, since I have
transferred your suggestions to a master list, so I
cannot write to each of you for your permission.  Not
to mention, many of the suggestions have been
submitted multiple times -- so whose "permission" do I
need in that case?

I was not aware that I could be violating the rights
of others by asking for your suggestions.  One person
submitted a lengthy written bibliography and I have
asked her for permission to use that.  It is my
feeling that suggesting one or to titles does not
constitute writing an entire "bibliography."

Just to note, BellaOnline is a completely volunteer
run site -- there is no corporation behind it, and
each editor is a volunteer.  

My thought in making this list is to provide a fun
resource for people to use if they are interested in
reading and/or watching plots that involve museums. 
My audience is NOT museum professionals, but the
visitors we all hope will visit our sites.

So PLEASE, if you would rather that I didn't put your
suggestion on my list, please please please let me
know that.

Thank you.
