----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Maryly: I think that the analogy you draw between books and slides is not right. A "book" and a "slide" in a collection are analogous. An image of a slide on a network is analogous to the digitization of a book on a network, which the library would cer- tainly be required to get permission to do. There has been con- versation in the past about whether or not the library or slide library owns the copyright on its local cataloging information. While some publishers may not pay for reproduction rights, a great majority of them do go through channels and pay for the rights. As far as the central subject is concerned, I agree by and large with you and Max about the effect of the guide- lines. Ann -- Ann B.
