I'm really confused. Someone cried because you used a bibliography they
suggested in a project? When did a bibliography, something which follows a
standard form, become someone's work? So now am I being told I must seek
permission from fellow colleagues prior to using a source I read about in
their work? Man I'll never get my next book done. What if they are dead,
must I use a Ouija board? First time I heard a bibliography was a personal
source. Whoever you are let me know so I don't use your work, but feel free
to use mine, I enjoy knowing mine has been used and read....Jim

Subject: Important question -- re museum book/movie suggestions
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.
