Re: Help!!! Patrons and scanners



1) There have been extensive discussions on this in the past, so you should
check the Archives of the Archives List.  (for the Web address, just check
the bottom of any message from the list)

2) Are you a state agency?  That may limit your choices.  I expect that your
state FOI laws give you the right to refuse if it would damage the original,
and to recoup _reasonable_ costs, but I doubt that you have the right to
limit the percentage of a collection copied, or limit it to a certain number
of images.  If you're a state agency, you need to be talking to someone
legal (Attorney General's Office?) to find out what your legal parameters
are.
