-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: policy on photographing or scanning maps Date: Thu, 03 Mar 2011 14:39:16 -0500 From: Joel Kovarsky <[log in to unmask]> To: Maps, Air Photo, GIS Forum - Map Librarianship <[log in to unmask]> Concerning photography issues, I would suggest looking at the recent OCLC discussion: "Capture and Release"--Digital Cameras in the Reading Room <http://www.oclc.org/research/publications/library/2010/2010-05.pdf>. There are any number of libraries with policies re: camera use posted online.
