Using NYU workshop for grad students as starting off point, what do we think would be useful here?

• IFLA/NYU Best Practices Doc linked from that is also helpful

Takedown policies: there may be well-founded requests for takedowns, or poorly-founded requests. Check original licensing and start there -- we may have traceable permissions.

Toolkit Issues

Catskills: have clear provenance for items from Brown DRS, but what about items that have been submitted to website?

• Make good faith effort to contact submitter / photographer. Track down if still around, document as best you can, be willing to take things down.

Granting rights: Infinite Ulysses has a good example of an extensive policy, not all projects will need something so extensive.

Questions for Us Later

Do we need clear permission to duplicate or publish copyright statements on our archives pages? Toolkit pages? Giving our users clear re-use permissions.

What other template verbiage do we want? See Best Practices in Digital Humanities, we should include an opt-out statement, How should we expose the rights statements for Toolkit items? We want a generic statement for Toolkit projects that outlines re-use.

How do we develop a takedown policy that we can publicize?

There are likely well-developed policies around these issues, developed by other DH groups.
