Everyone,
Thank you to all who responded on my work-for-hire questions.  I'm still 
picking through the responses, but it looks like a lot of good information. 
Of course, I won't use any images that haven't already been published 
(especially if it's a new species), and will include attribution for the 
journals.

John Wiley and Sons, who publish Palaeontology and Zoological Journal of the 
Linnean Society, sent me a contract allowing me to use my work in those 
journals for free, as long as I don't sell calendars or coffee mugs with the 
images on them --- not that anyone would pay for a coffee cup with a drawing 
of a sloth's fossilized entotympanic (sp?) on it.  Well, maybe somebody 
would, but selling them would hardly be the path to fame and riches, after I 
sold 12 cups to all the sloth researchers in the world.

Then I got an email from someone at UT at Knoxville who told me that the 
 >university< owns the copyright to all work for hire done by employees. 
This could be true, and I will have to look into that.  At the very least, 
we need to find out.  Just shows me that work for hire is very murky and 
confusing.

best, Julia Morgan Scott
