Re: Sharing Info
Your need for money is irrelevant.
1) Your handouts are a product of your practice/your work effort.
2) You charge fees for other products/services you provide through your
practice.
3) You are not supported by an institution in the production of your
products/services. If you were, then a request for use of your product
would be processed by your institution and the institution would probably
charge a fee.
4) Institutions are "in the habit" of paying for products/services when
needed to perform their functions.
Therefore, you should expect to paid for the use of your products. Any
"reservations" you might have in assessing a fee can be "adjusted" in the
amount you charge -- i.e., in accordance to (a) the time/effort you spent
and (b) the requesting institution's ability to pay.
PS Another thought -- was a fee to the participants in the workshop you
conducted? If so, then they were paying for the time/expenses involved in
producing the handouts. So ... if they paid for these handouts, why should
subsequent users NOT pay?
