[NLA] Posting of article from the Nation

[David J. Rosen]

NLA Colleagues,

When Kathleen Bombach recently posted to the NLA list an article from 
The Nation magazine it was prefaced with:

"If you like this article, please consider subscribing to The Nation at special discounted rates. You can order online https://ssl.thenation.com or call our toll-free number at 1-800-333-8536.

This is a long article from The Nation on Bush's 'scientific' approach to reading and the National Reading Panel. It is very interesting reading itself.

Kathleen Bombach"

The NLA list does not have a policy specifically about posting articles.  In the past I have always approved and posted messages with links to articles.  Attachments with articles (or anything else) are not possible.  Once I included an article, myself, within the text of a message to the NLA list, and was cautioned by an NLA subscriber who is an editor that this was not legal.  Since then I have learned from another list moderator that some publications allow posting an article if information is provided on how to subscribe to the publication. I presumed that when Kathleen posted the Nation article that she was following their policy, although I did not check on this.

It is time that the NLA list had a policy on whether or not and if so how articles should be posted.  I welcome messages to me, not the list, at <DJRosen at theworld.com> with references to the legality on posting of articles. Then, when I am better informed, I will post a message to the list with a recommended policy on this.
