Why don't you ask IGHR? When you ask an author, copyright holder, or publisher to quote part of their work, you compliment them, act professionally and create a good impression. Even if the answer is "no," the result is much better than their later discovering your use of their material and asking you to take it down. Asking permission also is a contact that may lead to a valued professional relationship. ---- Tom On 1/11/2013 11:05 AM, M. A.

I can attest to the fact that although I feel complimented, it would have been nice to know the handout for the "Choosing the Best Educational Opportunities" lecture was being used and in what context. Most lecturers like to know their information useful as well as how it was put to use. I also understand that the video is on FamilySearch.org where societies are encouraged to play videos and use the handout given for their group. This particular video was taped at the APG Professional Management Conference in 2008. An updated workshop will be held at the APG PMC March 20, 2013, at the Radisson in Salt Lake City. www.apgen.org/conferences/index.html In asking for permission to use you might also be offered an updated version of whatever you are asking about, or learn more about how the information came to be created. Tom is correct in that you might gain a collegial relationship from it. Unfortunately, Sandra Luebking is no longer with us but IGHR is.
