[WEB4LIB] Re: Permissions from People in Photos

[Michael Samuelson]

Thanks to everyone who responded to my inquiry about photo permissions.
Looks like I'll be telling my content people to get permission for
photos now.

That's actually a nice change of pace - they usually create more work
for me...

I haven't seen the webcast.  We have pictures of library users on our
home
page, and student workers "acting" in our video tour.  I always
specifically
ask for permission before I put recognizable pictures on the web site,
and
the students in the video all signed release forms.  It would probably
be a
good idea if we did that for the people in the photos on the home page.
