Lucy:

I think you may be onto some very excellent solutions.  In just the same way 
we acknowledge our rights when downloading materials through NLS we have to 
click an "I agree" button same concept.  There could be a question or to to 
check or uncheck for students to click & either agree or disagree when they 
register.  Likewise, there would be things that would be click /unclicked to 
agree or disagree with when instructors submit proposals.  In turn when an 
instructor gets email confirmation of a class proposal that agreement either 
to gift or not to gift materials/documentation and the understanding between 
this division & the instructor could be put in the responding email.  This 
solves future issues, but still we need to address issues that are yet 
unresolved.
