Sorry for the delay. Many of you have asked for these collated and edited
replies to my question regarding fees for map search or copy services. As
you can see there is a wide range of services:
 
Killam Library, Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia:
 
Copies: sections of maps ...0.25$ per page
Printing: 0.25$ per page b/w  0.50$ color
---------------------------
Harvard Map Collection:
 
Copies: small materials (current) that can be locally can be done by the
students themselves for .05/copy. Oversize copies (17 x 11) which requires
a staff member to do the copying costs .50/copy. Large oversize copies that
are sent out of the Library to a copying service just down the street are
charged the commercial price/sq.ft. (ca. $1.25 for bond paper) and an
additional $1 service fee on top of that.
Commercial photography (for-profit): charged photo costs plus $250 for
permission fees.
Non-commercial (not-for-profit): usually charged photo costs plus $100 for
permission fees.
 
Reference Services: No charge yet. Will be looking at charging for maps
produced from our GIS services -- i.e. .50/color copy and $5.00 for prints
off of our HP 750C plotter.

------------------------------------------
The University of Oregon MAP Library:
 
Copies/Reference:  We research a specific site in our aerial photography
collection and let the patron (usually an environmental consultant of some
kind) know what years/scales of photography we have for their site.  No
charge for this.  If the patron wants copies, they let us know which photos
they want. We then charge $35.00 per hour ($50.00 per hour for out of state
folk) to mask off the site for laser copies.  Kinkos picks up the photos
and makes color laser copies/enlargments and returns photos and copies to
us in the same day.
We then identify the copies in pencil, wrap up with a bill and send the
package off.  The original prints are returned to the collection.  Patrons
requesting this service first establish a corporate account with Kinkos and
so, all copying done in the company's name is billed to that company by
Kinkos--we never bill for copying. Our invoice is payable in 30 days. If
the account falls past due, no future work will be done for the company
until things are made right.
 
No charge for off-campus users who walk in asking for aerial photos.  We
only ask that they call in advance of their visit and let us know their
area of interest.
 
We do make an informal distinction between "For-Profit" patrons and
independent researchers.  We do not charge for research time or for a quick
copy of a map that will suit the interests of a remote patron.
-------------------------------------
UCLA:
 
Copies: most materials photocopied by the patrons themselves; exceptions
are made when the condition of a particular item precludes photocopying.
If patrons want special products made we have them engage a private company
which has a bonded messenger service which picks up and returns the maps to
us.  We wave all handling charges to our primary clientele, but charge a
handling fee to other individuals per a fee schedule set up by our special
collections libraries.
----------------------------------
Indiana University:
 
Copies: $.25 per exposure (regular paper size 8 1/2 x 11) or $3.00 per copy
of topo size.
 
This is not a highly publicized service, but is done only as part of our
public service responsibilities.  The amount collected just covers paper
and postage costs as we do not try to add in staff costs.
----------------------------------
UCSD:
 
Copies/Reference: under our Corporate Services/PLUS group. The fee is
$70/hour.
-------------------------------------------
Science & Technology Library, University of Alberta:
 
Copies/search: Basically we charge $60.00 (Canadian) approx $45 US - per hour.
 
We don't encourage this due to staff limitations, but the service is there.
We can provide photocopies up to 11 x 17 b&w.
