The Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery is digitizing its 12,000+ piece collection and revamping its website. In doing so, we are reexamining our image use policy. I have already contacted some of you individually, but am in need of additional confirmation from comparable institutions re processes and procedures for images and the web. Any comments you would be able to share re any of the questions/issues below would be most appreciated. (Please feel free to reply off-list.) Thank you very much.
1. Do you put images on the web (from your permanent collection or traveling exhibitions) when you don't have the copyright? Do you handle promotional pages different than the collection pages for this issue? 2. Are you subjecting thumbnails to the same process/rules as larger images? Why or why not? 3. Do you watermark your images? Have you found any way to do this other than manipulate each image in Photoshop (or like program) before loading? 4. Has anyone figured out a way to secure images within a web page so that they cannot be dragged or copied? 5. Any words of advice??? ===== Stacey Skold, Collections Manager Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden, University of Nebraska-Lincoln 12th & R Street, Lincoln, NE 68588-0300 T402.472.2599 F402.472.4258 __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
