[MCN-L] extended publishing rights for e-book

[Gose, Denise]

We've been dealing with this more and more (so please reply online!). We 
generally charge an additional 50% if licensing in conjunction with a print 
publication, and full price if e-book only. Of course, it depends on print run, 
or number of e-books licensed, distribution etc, the same as for print. Often, 
the number of e-books licensed is considerably smaller than the number of 
printed books. I imagine this proportion will be reversing over time...

Hi All,
We have policies and a fee-structure for rights and reproductions but they do

Does anyone have policy and / or fees they charge for the additional right to

The publisher is claiming that they don't normally pay anything extra for the

[MCN-L] scanner recommendations?

[Gose, Denise]

I agree when it comes to slides. We can just eek out a publication quality scan 
from a slide on the 1xl, but a dedicated slide scanner like the Nikon is 
better and easier to use. For just about everything else that can go on a 
flatbed, the Epson works very well.

Hello Sara

Hands down the Epson 1XL Pro is the way to go.  We have a Microtek 9800XL 
which we used when required but recently bought the Epson 1XL Pro and the 
comparison in quality and speed and quality and is definitely worth the cost 
difference between the two unless you only have a few items to scan. It has 
manual focus options show you can scan non-uniform transparent materials 
directly on the glass and control the plane of focus. It has holders for 4x5 
films.  The Microtek is now sitting on the shelf.

 We did try a 35mm slide on the glass to test but I still prefer using our 
Nikon Coolscan actual film scanner for scanning slides. It focuses even better 
on the film plane and gives excellent dynamic range particularly in the shadows.

If you can afford it I'd suggest both units.

We've got two Microtek ScanMakers, an older 9600XL and a 9800XL.  Both have 
worked great for us over the years.  More than high quality enough to give to 
printers, and can do transparencies/negatives.  Has the capability to do 
slides, but I can't speak to that as we have a Nikon Coolscan V for those 
(which I love!). 
Usually just use the 'wizard' software that come with it, but have used the 
SilverFast software on more tricky things.  (Don't know if it still comes with 
it or not.) I think we got the 9800XL for around $1200 years ago, but have not 
idea of any current prices or availability since we've had these forever.

[MCN-L] scanner recommendations?

[Gose, Denise]

We love our Epson 1XL scanners - but you'll pay close to $3000 for the 
version with Silverfast software and transparency unit, which is what you'll 
need. The price has dropped this year from over $4000, so it's a good deal.

Not sure what else is out there for large format scanners.

[MCN-L] ??RE: ??RE: Image Sizes (later Image Theft)

[Gose, Denise]

The Center for Creative Photography is in the infancy (testing) stages of 
getting the fine print catalog online. Most of the work is protected by 
copyright, and can't be licensed out by us, but sixteen of the copyrights are 
owned or managed by CCP. We're thinking of a self-serve licensing system at 
some point, but curious if anyone has considered how to deal with a complex 
pricing model, based on print run, repro size, distribution, and non-profit vs. 
commercial. And how do you ensure that the works are reproduced according to 
your institution's guidelines without human interaction? The revenue stream 
supports vital museum functions, so we need to approach cautiously.

Conversely, we're thinking of making some or all of CCP's public domain works 
available for free.

Alan, Gunter, et al.:

Perhaps I haven't make it clear that the position I'm arguing IS the policy 
decision of my particular institution. I love thinking (and arguing) about how 
other, way-out-there creative ideas (including Radiohead's brilliant if limited 
marketing gimmick) - so I'm enjoying this conversation. (I just wish others 
would chime in. Ahem!) 

But there are institutions that have enough money to allocate according to 
mission-based policy and budget decisions, and there are institutions that are 
bottom-line,  revenue-based.  My job at present is to draw up a business plan 
that for turning a traditional rights & reproductions operation into an online 
stock photo agency, if you will, with a healthy revenue stream.  It's a 
challenge, to put it mildly.  I am only cautiously optimistic, and the points 
you bring up are part of the reason why.  But this is the decision of 
management, and it's my job to carry it through.

So, whatever ideas anyone on this amazing list can come up with are more than 
welcome. Even Gunter's far-out in-the-cloud idea. (Just kidding, Gunter. Make 
it happen!)  I know that others are in the same boat and following this 
conversation closely.

Alan, I really enjoyed reading about your creative solution to the perennial 
dilemma of image licensing, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that you can 
make "pay what you can afford" a reality and report back to all of us how you 
fared. You've got me at the edge of my seat.

As for the initial cost of setting up such a system, which is of great concern 
to Amalyah and others: this, like so many other things museums are currently 
doing redundantly and at great cost in their own basements, would be a great 
opportunity for a collective service. If Alan's model succeeds, why would every 
museum have to develop / purchase their own licensing system, and run it 
locally? Shouldn't this be a configurable service in the cloud you could 
subscribe to for a reasonable fee?

Cheers,

G?nter

Hi Amalyah,

My point was that after the build the maintenance costs are trivial to keep the 
self-serve part of the system going.
There is only automated file delivery and no human service...for that part of 
the program.

The main question, debated here often, is whether this should be mission-driven 
public policy rather than thought off as a crucial revenue stream.
In my imaginary proposal you get both.

"When we build self-serve sites for image licensing which have trivial costs
after the build, and especially if we are using the people's money, it is

Trivial costs?  Not according to our CIO.  I'm struggling to get something like 
this online, due to the sheer cost, which is most certainly not paid for by 
"the people's money".  And we need to remember that people aren't paying for

[MCN-L] Tricky question - is Mac "better" than PC?

[Gose, Denise]

Hi Marty,

My advice is to decide which platform is the best for you and not obsess about 
the networking piece. Here at the U of A we are pretty much all PC across 
campus, but we've been using a Mac to run our Better Light scanning back for 
several years. In fact we've been doing a bunch of stuff for you guys at MFAH 
lately... It took a while to develop a work flow, but we do have the Mac on the 
network, in limited manner, and we dump image files off the Mac to a designated 
area where they are then backed up and processed in the PC environment. I would 
hazard a guess that the stability of the Mac OS platform has saved us a lot of 
heartache - although the Better Light is absolutely bullet proof, so that is 
large factor in our success as well. As far as functionality, there isn't that 
much that a Mac can do that a PC can't these days, but it seems like they do 
what they're supposed to a lot more of the time, and when you're producing 
large numbers of very large image files, that definitely matters. I would also 
strongly suggest consulting with the tech support department of whoever makes 
your capture device.

Good luck!

LOL. I've been biting my tongue, but since I'm a fool too, here are  
my two cents:

1) If cost is an issue, go with the Mac. Unless you are building your  
own machine from scratch, you cannot find a comparably-configured  
high-end machine cheaper than the Mac Pro. See:
http://www.macworld.com/2006/08/features/macproprice/index.php

2) While I agree Photoshop works well on either platform, the  
underlying stability of the OS is an important consideration. I would  
be extremely hesitant to trust any sensitive or valuable data to a MS  
Windows machine -- the last thing you want is the OS crashing while  
you are working on a 500MB image file!

But, as I said, each point is only worth a penny. :-)

Best, --Paul

[MCN-L] IP SIG: Art Bulletin use of "In the Public Domain" in its captions

[Gose, Denise]

I agree with you Diane; I have often wished myself that works known to be in 
the public domain were labeled as such. Our collection database only includes a 
copyright statement when the copyright holder is known. I have often wished 
that there was also an entry for "unknown", and for "public domain", and I will 
lobby for this as we migrate to a new database and eventually make it public. 
This doesn't mean that we might not charge a "Collection Use Fee" for 
reproduction of an image that is unique to our collection, but we would never 
base this fee on any claim of copyright ownership. (of course, it's an easier 
line to draw in a museum of 2-D art)

I also appreciate that more museums are specifying "image copyright". I must 
say it makes me angry to see an image on a museum website labeled "?XYZ 
Museum", when it is clear that the museum does not hold copyright to the actual 
artwork. This is most offensive/misleading when the work is under (someone 
else's) legal copyright.

Amalyah,

Okay, "crediting" was probably the wrong word to use.  My point is 
that noting "Public Domain" in the caption makes it clear to all that 
the original work is in the public domain (and thus freely available 
for copying), although the particular image of that public domain 
work, is, of course copyrighted by the photographer.

Too many reproductions have captions that imply that the 
museum/photographer/gallery owns copyright to the work itself.   Why 
not note "public domain" in the caption, to clarify things?  I don't 
see it as a political statement at all.

You're right in stating that there is no legal requirement to declare 
something public domain.  Under US law, there is also no legal 
requirement to declare something as copyrighted - yet what museum or 
photographer would approve a caption that did not include their 
copyright notice?  They justifiably want to let people know their 
rights.  Why not let the public also know what they have a right to?

I see a public domain statement as a move towards greater clarity and 
less subterfuge in  our increasingly intellectual property-centric 
world.  Clarifying who owns (or does not own) rights is a responsible 
thing to do.  I have noticed an increasing trend among museums to use 
copyright statements that now qualify where the copyright lies, for 
example, "Greek amphora, 25 A.D., Image copyright 2006 The XYZ 
Museum" (italics mine).  I think this is also a positive effort 
towards greater clarity.

Increased number of repro requests with online presence?

[Gose, Denise]

If any of you have recently (or not so recently) put a catalogue of 
images online, or significantly increased your museum's web presence, 
would you be willing to share info regarding percentage increase in 
requests for reproductions? (I'm working on a business plan, and trying 
to make some projections for revenue post-launch) Also, if you're 
willing to share your use fee schedule, I would very much appreciate 
and be happy to reciprocate. Thank you!
