Good stuff. You have laid it out pretty nicely. Now I have to unlearn the techniques of trying to take really good back of head shots. Now every library photo won't include my son as the main subject.

K. S. – depends on the library and their policies, I’d guess. My library doesn’t always have a handout, so that wouldn’t work for us. And the brief announcement is much easier than permission forms, so we feel we’re much better off.

Matt – how funny! Yep – archives and fees is a whole other can of worms, most definitely.

Can a library just put the disclaimer on their fliers and SRP booklets without announcing at the beginning of each program? Unfortunately, with all the distractions at the beginning of the event, announcing it can be forgotten.

“Programs, events and classes are photographed or videotaped for library promotional purposes. Notify library staff if you prefer not to be photographed.”

Being in archives, I thought this blog post was going to be about photo permission use forms/fees for publications, presentations, private study, films, etc., and the (what I consider) rediculous fees archives charge users for photograph reproductions. Those fees drive me crazy, but it is commonplace in archives. Interesting, though, to know more about what we can and can’t do at KSHS when photographing for promotional purposes.

Barbara – I think the amount of time you keep the forms depends on the organization. We keep them indefinitely (not that anyone has ever requested to look at them). Not sure what other organizations do!
