How to license a photograph

Posted on 12 May 2009 By natlib.

An author is seeking my permission to add to his publication a photograph that I have given to him as part of his research. I have no qualms about given him this permission. Can you please advise on how I can write this in a letter. [Originally asked by R A Stephens on April 06, 2009, on www.digitalnz.org]

Using CC licences for out of copyright images

Posted on 11 May 2009 By natlib.

My library is investigating posting some images onto Flickr. All the images will be out of copyright, but Flickr only provides the options of a creative commons licence, or all rights reserved. Neither of which reflects the nature of the content. I see that Turnbull has used the all rights reserved licence with text around the image stating that it can be used under certain conditions. Other libraries have gone down the CC route. Can we claim all rights reserved when in fact the photo is out...

Where to get digitisation funding for small museums

Posted on 11 May 2009 By natlib.

I work for a small museum, and we are looking at a project to digitise our photographic collection. Do you know of any funding that might be available for this sort of project? Does DigitalNZ offer funding? [Originally asked by Roslyn on January 23, 2009, on www.digitalnz.org]

Applying date Dublin Core metadata

Posted on 11 May 2009 By natlib.

If a photograph was taken in 1968, and digitised in 2005, and uploaded into a repository in 2007, is it appropriate to export all three of these dates in the unqualified dc:date field? [Originally asked by Gordon on December 24, 2008, on www.digitalnz.org]

Looking for Iwi and digitisation initiatives

Posted on 11 May 2009 By natlib.

Where can I find some examples of protocols that have been well received for archiving institutions regarding their digital holdings held on behalf of Iwi? We are looking for examples where other Iwi or cultures have established those memorandums or processes and procedures related to digital 'taonga' and have addressed issues around accessibility to those digital holdings. Also who do I make contact with regarding looking at a joint project around digitisation - building a digital library...

How do I digitise an out of print book?

Posted on 11 May 2009 By natlib.

I am looking for information on how I can have my out of print books digitised onto perhaps DVDs. I can't seem to be able to find anyone who can advise me on how this can be done and the process to do this sort of publishing. I would like to have material that can be displayed and sold on Amazon’s Kindle. [Originally asked by Leighton on December 03, 2008, on www.digitalnz.org]

Museums and the Weblog 2009

Posted on 27 Apr 2009 By Lewis .

I have this theory that if I procrastinate long enough, I’ll be able to write an old style post on Museums and the Web (MW2009) that simply indexes everyone else’s blog posts.

Meanwhile, here are the things that remain in my mind. When fellow New Zealand (and other) MW2009-ers unpack their thoughts, we can join them up for a fuller picture.

Sites of interest

There were many, not all digital. Some I came across through (face-to-face) conversations, so you may not find them featured in the ...

DigitalNZ and Museums & the Web

Posted on 01 Apr 2009 By Virginia.

Last year, Digital New Zealand was invited to submit a late abstract to Museums and the Web 2009 in Indianapolis. We were chuffed to have that paper accepted – and I will be heading across to present a mini-workshop and demonstration.

DigitalNZ is also up for a best of the web award – so watch this space. You can register and vote for us in the Best of the Web 2009 People's Choice.
