    Thanks, Jamie - I agree - the resources are very, very good. I was hoping Penny or Melissa could 'verify' we may freely share the information, specifically, a number of excellent PowerPoint presentations have been shared.

    My understanding is that we can use the information as long as you acknowledge the source.

    I think it depends how you are using it. If it's something big like a PowerPoint and you are using it in its entirety (or large pieces) without editing, I personally would want to state the source. If its grabbing a few slides, I wouldn't worry about it. As far as queries and such that are posted, I probably wouldn't worry about that either. The reality is, many of my queries look very similar to others institutions even if I didn't get them from another source. We are all querying for the same information most of the time, so they are likely to be similar.
    I tend to assume that when I put stuff out there, people may borrow/edit/copy. If I really didn't want that to happen, I probably wouldn't post it.
    That's just my personal opinion though. I'd be curious what an ACDIS rep has to say...

    My general sense, and specifically in regards to anything I've shared --

    Please feel free to use, modify, borrow segments, etc.
    I personally don't specifically expect a reference back, in part as I expect that work will be modified and customized to meet your individual needs.

    Of course, there's always a bit of caveat emptor -- I certainly am fully capable of making mistakes, or not hitting a bullseye...

    As other's have said, I am so very grateful for the open & supportive community of ACDIS -- it makes such a huge difference!!
