Photograph Reproduction Policies
Materials to be duplicated photographically are sent
to the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Photography Lab for reproduction. The
usual turnaround time for orders is 15 working days from the time the materials are taken
to the photography lab. Larger orders will require extra processing time. Patrons must
complete either a "Photograph Use Agreement" form or an "Exemption From Use
Fee" form before the order is sent for processing. Patrons will be notified by a
staff member when their order is ready to be picked up.
A use fee of $20 per image will be charged for
photographs that will be used in a for-profit activity. The fee will be waived for
students and scholarly researchers engaged in a not-for-profit activity. The use fee is
for a "one-time use only" of the photograph and is in addition to the cost of
duplication. The patron assumes full responsibility for conforming to copyright laws.
A $2.00 charge will be added to the price of each
photograph when a copy negative must be made. Copy negatives are required for all
prints made from books and other printed material. Copy negatives are retained by the
Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library.
Prepayment may be required for orders totaling more
than $50.00.
Charges for services are listed below. Texas state tax
(8.25%) is added to each order. Postage/shipping costs will be added to mailed orders.
