Hello ARLIS,

I'm new to the list--I've been a "reader only" for a couple of weeks.  I
work as the assistant to the director for University Art Museum for the
University of Southwestern Louisiana.

We have a collection of 18th & 19th century Louisiana portraiture and
landscape paintings that authors frequently request to use in publications.
I am relatively new to the position and cannot find precedent for past
charges.

Could you share your experience and/or policy for charging for reproduction
of artwork owned by your institutions?  Do you differentiate between
scholarly publications and those of a non-academic nature?

Look forward to hearing from you!

Elizabeth Schexnyder
Assistant to the Director
University Art Museum, USL
