I think the copyright issue probably depends on how you are displaying it. If it
is a preprinted poster (or tea-towel) or the original book or journal (eg Jama
poems) on a stand there's not a problem. If you scan or copy it there could
well be and a web print-out is probably a very grey area unless it definitely
says copyright free. Maybe you need to get your staff (or lis-medical
members?) to contribute original work.
