Ellen:
You need to hear from slide librarians practicing now. I am responding only
because when (1976-1997) I was the museum librarian at a small art museum
library that had a large collection of slides I did a good deal of
investigating of slide library practice and was a member of the VRA for a
while. The largest slide libraries are mostly in colleges and universities
that exist for the almost exclusive purpose of providing slides for the art
faculty to use in their classes and, in my experience, almost all of them
have been built on the assumption that fair use allowed the copying of slides
from books for teaching purposes. I know that a large percentage of their
collections are also copies of (or originals) of slides that faculty have
taken in their travels. But my impression is that most college art
department slide libraries have been built primarily from copies taken from
books. I know that they also have systems for keeping track of the sources
of the images. I don't think this is the same situation as the Kinko's case.
But has the law changed in regard to copying from books for teaching
purposes?
