----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Yes Ann, it is true that digitization of a book will require permission, but as a single entity. The library and the publisher will have to agree, which for out of print books will probably start to happen with some regularity. But you won't have to deal with every owner of every image in the book, which is what we are being asked to do. Does this mean that if the book is digitized we can clip out the digital details which are the images and use them as we please, since then we won't have been the ones doing the digitizing?
