Terms of Use for images from the Online Galleries of the History of Science Collections

Consistent with our role as a special collection of rare books in a major public university committed to a teaching and research mission, the History of Science Collections of the University of Oklahoma Libraries (“HOS”) is pleased to grant permission for non-exclusive, global, media neutral use of our digitized images of public domain images without charge, for non-commercial personal, research, and study purposes only. Permission to use images is not an authorization to publish. By using the images, User agrees to the following conditions:

• Let us know of the use of any image(s) in any print or electronic media.
• If an image is intended for use in a print or electronic publication, User agrees to secure the HOS’s permission in advance (contact the Curator, kmagruder@ou.edu), and recognizes that permission to publish does not constitute a waiver of any intellectual property rights that HOS may have in the objects or images. Generally, no more than 5 pages or 5% (whichever comes first) of any book or manuscript may be reproduced by facsimile or transcription, in any print or online publication.
• If permission is granted, User will include the following attribution statement: “Image(s) courtesy History of Science Collections, University of Oklahoma Libraries.” Please note the exact phrasing of our name as “Collections,” plural, not “Collection”; and “Oklahoma Libraries,” not simply OU.
• If permission is granted, User agrees to send a complimentary copy of the published work (printed work or ebook or other electronic media) to: History of Science Collections, University of Oklahoma, 401 W. Brooks, Rm. 521, Norman, OK 73019-0528 (small, drm-free e-book files may be emailed to the Curator, kmagruder@ou.edu).
