Re: DMCA

[Colleen Keller <ckeller () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to point out a few DMCA related resources from EDUCAUSE and its members.
The first is a general DMCA page, http://www.educause.edu/Resources/Browse/DMCA/31236
But the second item is a FAQ for DMCA Designated Agents at Higher Education Institutions 
http://www.educause.edu/policy/campus/dmcafaq and this page should be useful to help answer some of your questions.

Please let me know if you have any questions, thank you.
