Sophie,
>>>What are the legal/etiquette issues surrounding the use of

Get permission from your current employer before you use anything. They
might have a non-disclosure policy. When I did a manual for the University
of Arkansas at Little Rock Office of Academic Advising, I got a letter of
permission to include in my portfolio.
Now I'm in the process of getting permissions from the various companies
whose web pages I am going to use in my thesis.
Fun Fun Fun
