I know this is outside the scope of what you were doing, but if we revisit this in the future, I seriously question whether this text is still necessary.

Wow, these guidelines predate the Sonny Bono Act?! This should be seventy.

I don't love this. There is now acknowledgement of the possibility of fair use.

Should it say "signed copy of the Proquest permission form" to distinguish it from the one mentioned above?

Does dspace do embargoes? I guess it doesn't really matter, we could always just delay putting it in the repository.

Is this still true in the new platform? I'm not saying it's not, I'm just not familiar enough with it to know.

Several of the comments I read on this page suggest going into more detail on some topics. I was able to integrate a couple of these suggestions, but my concerns about the length of the chapter kept me from acting on all of them. The clearest message I got from the instructors I talked with before starting this project was that the chapters needed to be short in order for them to actually be read. I've tried to honor that request. All your comments are appreciated and I'll take them into account as I continue to develop more info lit OER material.

I say this in the Instructor Resources, but it bears repeating here. If you like this content, you may want to consider not using this chapter, and using the full resource it was derived from, Check, Please! Starter Course. I highly recommend the full version. Also, I got to go to a workshop given by its creator last week and I got so many good ideas from it. Let me know if you want to talk.

This chapter will not be brought over to the official version of the TWP OER, but will continue to be available at this location.

These chapters are a little drafty, if you know what I mean. I haven't finished formatting (or frankly adding) all the footnotes. Please don't take points off for this ;P

What is a derivative work? Examples?

I'm looking at you, FCC.

An alarming recent example of this: https://theoutline.com/post/3430/your-right-to-link-is-in-danger?zd=1&zi=idmkzx5o

I'm nitpicking here, but I didn't think that attribution was a requirement of the law. Is this right?

This would be good to use in the 'How do we know anything is true?' lesson.

I got a domain through Reclaim Hosting a few months ago. I really appreciate the philosophy behind the Domain of One’s Own project, but I have posted very little on my website since I’ve got it. One reason is I find it hard to do my learning and thinking out in the open. This won’t be a problem for everyone, but for some of us introverts it is daunting. #introvertproblems

Nothing wrong with that, it’s a good life skill to have. I help people find information for a living, and “fumbling around Googling solutions” is something I do a lot and help other people do. Technology will never stop changing, so realizing you have the power to find the answer you need on the interwebs is very valuable.
