Copyright
It can be helpful to just avoid the copyright questions by using resources that have no copyright restrictions, like Creative Commons.
However, if we don't use the rights we have under fair use, we might lose them.
Look at the fair use guidelines and use them as your guide. They need to be considered. They don't need to all be followed, but considered. Achieve an informed level of comfort with fair use.
Any piece of student work ought to have a creative commons license on it. Kids will then think of themselves as a producer and how they want their work used.

The future of the library:
Libraries are for people/schools who are interested in creative thinkers, analyzers, independent thinkers, open-minded students. A library is a creative commons. Maybe in 10 years the entire school will be a library - a place where students gather to do their own research and produce products and direct their own learning. Libraries will become more and more web based, but it could be a portal for information.
