ABSTRACT

This paper summarizes the proceedings of the National Information Infrastructure (NII) Conference on Fair Use (CONFU) meetings as they pertain to visual resource archives; it discusses the scenarios and guidelines being developed for fair use of digitized images, and examines the impact this might have on visual resources collections. As well, it discusses the issues of copystand photography and fair use in slide and image collections, both analog (as the managers of visual resources collections may now be calling their slide and photograph archives) and digital.
