garboma Photo releases for patron photos? 0 Oct 28 2009, 12:47 PM EDT by garboma

Hi everyone,

I'm doing an informal survey here - when you post pictures of patrons at events or just using the library on your website, do you get permission from those pictured? Do you do anything differently when they are minors? I work with the Ypsilanti District Library, and we would like to start using some of the great photos we've taken over the past few years, but aren't quite sure if we need to secure releases, do something else, etc. Thanks in advance for your help!

Let's continue our discussion, from our September 17th meeting in Novi, on the Library using Social Media to reach customers. Check our web site, www.detroitpubliclibrary.org, and click through to Facebook & Twitter. I'd appreciate your comments. Conrad Welsing

This from MichLib-L:

What a shame! Presume there's nothing we can do to influence WWJ, but the publication of the GreatStuff e-newsletter and web site will be suspended effective Sunday, March 8, 2009. Newspapers have been shutting down a lot of this sort of p.r. outlet for announcements, so it will be doubly missed.

Maybe statewide will be better, but it would help to do it by regions. GreatStuff has been so convenient to search whenever seeking something to do in a specific area or a specific type of event. Libraries have especially appreciated this way to spread the word about their programs, in addition my local community theatre & my storytelling guild will both miss this outlet for letting people know about our programs

For those seeking storytelling events in Michigan, at least there's the e-newsletter, MI Story, & I will continue its online version at <http://www.MichiganStorytelling.org>. The Bulletin Board page there started out as a supplement to the e-newsletter, giving more details than the newsletter format permits & adding any late-breaking news. In the past month it began chronicling developing news on the state of arts & culture funding & giving ideas on how to make it self-sustaining & eventually free of the state budget. I suggest becoming a regular reader for now.
