1. The Krider Center maintains a digitized visual database, called the Krider Imagebank, for multimedia use along with computers and other equipment for scanning and making presentations. 
    
2. Use of multimedia resources and systems is granted on a first-come, first-served basis. To insure availability, faculty should make reservations well in advance of the time of intended use.
    
3. Slides owned by the Krider Center are to be scanned only by Krider Center staff.
    
4. Faculty may scan their own visual materials themselves, or lacking time or familiarity with scanning procedures may schedule a training session.  Faculty may also submit requests for material to be scanned by the Krider Center staff, however priority will be given to faculty donating images to the Krider Center collection provided they are deemed useful to other faculty in the college.  Scanned material may be excluded from the database if deemed to be of marginal benefit to others.  The Krider Center is not able to devote its resources to large amounts of "marginally beneficial" or "non-instructional use" scanning.  Therefore, faculty requesting such scanning may be asked as a condition of being granted those requests to provide the Krider Center with supplementary or compensatory resources.
    
5. Keyword identifiers must be supplied for images donated to the collection when they are delivered for scanning.  If this policy is waived, keywords must be supplied within 30 days following scanning.  Additional slides will not be accepted for scanning if keywords are not supplied within this time limit.  Slides which have been scanned will not be released until keywords are provided.
    
   
6. Copyrighted material will only be scanned by Krider Staff when the copyright owner grants permission for the material to be scanned and to be included in the Krider Center's visual database.
    
7. Please submit all requests to scan material (whether owned by the Krider Center or the individual) well in advance of the time of anticipated use.
    
8. Faculty may impose reasonable restrictions (such as educational use only, limited resolution, etc...) on the use of donated digitized images scanned from their personal slides when donating to the Krider Image Bank, however, resolution should be sufficient for classroom PowerPoint use.  If faculty wish to make their images available for public use, a lesser resolution may be specified.
   
   Commercially produced slides in the Krider Center collection have copyright restrictions that generally do not permit reproduction of any sort. Scanning of these slides will not be permitted unless it can be demonstrated that such scanning is entirely consistent with the most current and widely-held interpretations of copyright laws and their "fair use" provisions.
