I have often toyed with the idea of creating a local edition of the ALA READ posters but wondered if it didn't violate copyright so I asked. Below is a copy of my original message sent to the ALA Graphics Department and the reply I received from Barbara Carney (reposted with her permission). Remember...don't shoot the messenger (me!)... Subject: ALA Graphics and Copyright Date: Sat, 29 Aug 1998 08:34:00 -0400 From: Sally Lantz <sarahl@ccpl.carr.lib.md.us> To: krepholz@ala.org Good morning- I hope you can answer the following questions for me (or perhaps forward them to someone who can): Would ALA permit librarians/media specialists to create and use in their own facility: 1) READ posters fashioned after those of ALA but with local subjects? 2) Their own window flag with the ALA symbol (stylized reader, blue/white)? Thank you for your prompt response. ---------and the reply..... Subject: ALA Graphics and Copyright -Reply Date: Tue, 01 Sep 1998 13:23:22 -0500 From: Barb Carney <bcarney@ala.org> To: sarahl@ccpl.carr.lib.md.us Dear Ms. Lantz, You are free to create your own National Library Symbol flag; ALA Graphics discontinued the product about a year ago. The blue and white library symbol is in the public domain. The blue color is PMS #285. A black and white camera-ready clipart sheet may be requested free of charge from the ALA Public Information Office: www.pio@ala.org The ALA Celebrity READ poster style is not available for local use, although I can certainly appreciate your interest. It is important that we can assure the celebrities that the use of the poster style is limited to just those we publish. Please feel free to contact with any other concerns regarding ALA Graphics' products. Cordially, Barbara Carney bcarney@ala.org (800) 545-2433, x5051 ALA Graphics American Library Association 50 E.
