Introduction

The Library’s image galleries service offers support for academic staff, students and alumni who are interested in publishing their own image collection online, including photos, drawings, exhibitions, etc. The Library will act as “electronic distributor” for the images and will provide a secure archive for the content.

Types of images valid for the service:

  • Photo/image collection of Lingnan University/Lingnan’s Departments/Centres.
  • Exhibition organized by Lingnan University/Lingnan’s Departments/Centres.
  • Personally owned image reflecting Lingnan University’s history, and is donated to/authorized Lingnan University to digitalize/disseminate the image.

Principles

  1. Requester has to be the owners of the images who holds the copyright to host the image online.
  2. It is encouraged that images be open access compliant although exceptions can be made if necessary.
