Dear MCNers, (Weird - two messages to the list from Alberta in one day!)
The University of Alberta's Art Collection is currently developing a web interface to its database. The majority of database records have digital images attached to them, which has raised the issue of image security. We would be very interested in hearing what other institutions have done in the way of protecting their digital images on the web. Are any collections watermarking their images? And if not, why not? Has there been any repercussion in not doing so? Or is marking images with copyright information the preferred methodology? Thanks in advance for any insights the members of this list might be able to shed on this matter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ jim whittome museums and collections services university of alberta edmonton, alberta, canada [email protected] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
