4HCCS PUBLICATIONS
The question proposed is, "Can a copy of a 4HCCS publication be
made and distributed for educational purposes as long as the source
(university and author) are clearly identified?"
Answer: Not without written permission from
4HCCS. 4HCCS relies on sales of materials to generate funds to develop new
materials through grants back to multi-state design teams. --Jim Adams jadams@oznet.ksu.edu
