Photographic reproductions (negatives, slides, and prints) of materials owned by the University of Iowa Libraries are made and invoiced by the University of Iowa Audiovisual Center.

In addition to the cost of reproduction, the Libraries charges a fee, as determined by the schedule which follows, for each image used for non-educational, commercial purposes. The Libraries also requires a credit line in association with the image or elsewhere in the publication, such as in the index or a list of illustrations.

The University of Iowa Libraries charge a use fee based on its ownership of the physical materials in its collections; this fee represents no claim to copyright (see Property Rights and Copy Right Law) to any of the materials in question, although in some cases the Libraries may hold copyright to some of those materials. Payment of the use fee does not constitute, and should not be viewed as, permission by a copyright holder to reproduce works that are copyrighted. Users must determine on their own if the use they intend to make of images invades copyright, rights to privacy, or other rights.

As owners of the materials to be reproduced, the University Libraries gives no exclusive rights to any publisher or author, makes no warranties or representations, and assumes no responsibility whatsoever for any claims against those reproducing images or against the University of Iowa by an artist or photographer, his/her agent, estate or any other party in connection with the reproduction of images in the collection of the University Libraries. Additionally, those reproducing images agree to idemnify the University of Iowa and hold it harmless against any and all such claims, including copyright infringement claims, royalty or fee demands and/or actions, including attorney fees and all other costs thereof, arising as a result of their reproduction of images in the collections of the University Libraries.
