Non-commercial Requests
Persons wishing to coordinate an organized photo shoot or take group shots for non-commercial purposes must submit a request via this form at least one week before the filming date. After obtaining permission, which may be granted immediately or after consultation with other staff, the following guidelines should be observed:
- Taking photographs and/or videotaping should not disrupt patrons or staff
- Photographs/videos should not be taken of patrons or staff unless they have granted permission
- Photography should only take place in public library spaces
- Optimally, filming should be brief. Study or stack areas should not be cordoned off for extended filming especially during the academic terms, unless permission from the Libraries has been obtained. Filming and photographer are not permitted in non-public staff work areas unless permission has been granted by a library media liaison.
Commercial Requests
Commercial filming or photography requires coordination with the University Communications' Office of Brand Management and Trademark Licensing. Visit their website for details and contact information.
Model Release Forms
If your video or photography focuses on a single person or a small group, they should complete a model release form. If the person signing a release is under the age of eighteen, a parent or guardian must cosign the release. The form is your way of proving that the person is providing their image, artwork, or quote willingly and does not require additional compensation. University Communications provides more information and model release forms on their website.
