Wendy,
If you're placing originals on notice boards, I can't see any copyright
infringement there. If, however, you want to create a daily bulletin of
photocopied press cuttings, you will need a licence from the Newspaper
Licensing Agency. Schools and some charities may be exempt. We at Wellcome,
as a non-fundraising charity, are not able to take advantage of this
exemption. We produce a daily in-house newspaper cuttings service for staff
covered by a NLA license. For further details about licensing see
http://www.nla.co.uk/welcome/
As for gathering the press cuttings, perhaps a representative from Graphic
Science, (who I know are lurking on the list !) could share their experience
of managing the Newsroom project.

Hope this helps

Subject: Science in the News
To all members of the group...(apologies for cross-posting)
At Techniquest we try to offer a newsboard featuring 'Science in the
newspapers'. At the moment we just look in the papers we subscribe to and
the local newspapers but it is quite time consuming and doesn't always
provide enough material to change the board regularly and keep it topical.
Ideally we want to display a range of cuttings from all sorts of papers,
tabloids and broadsheets so the articles have a range of opinions and
reporting style to appeak to all types of visitor.
a) Does anyone know if there is a press cuttings service that looks in all
daily newspapers for science news and if so, how much it costs to subscribe
to it
b) Is it any infringement of copyright to have a board that displays
newspaper or magazine clippings in a public place?
Does anyone else do this in their centre/museum/organisation?
Thanks for you help
Wendy Sadler
