Students and
Educators:
I get a lot of email asking
for permission to use an image or video in a classroom presentation,
term paper, lecture or other such academic pursuit. In
virtually every case I say yes, but I do appreciate getting the
requests. Why? These web pages take up a lot of space on
our college's server (and actually generate more hits than many of
the college's other pages). Our IT department has been great
about simply grinning and buying more hard drives to house all this,
and the administration in general has been very supportive. We
see this as a public service. Naturally, however, those who
are paying the bills like to know what they are getting. In
particular, I like to be able to tell the dean how many requests I'm
getting to use material found here and where they are coming
from. The admissions folk love to hear that high school and
home school students are looking at our site (and maybe even
drifting over to the college's
home page to check out the college itself). So, feel free
to use the material here in your own learning and teaching, but
please send off that email if you get a chance, and remember to cite
your sources in your presentation!

Commercial
Users:
There are a lot more
photos, and a few more hours of video than what you see here on the
site. All of the images were taken with digital cameras, most
with resolution over 4 megapixels and some a lot higher than
that. If you are interested in a higher resolution image, or
perhaps a slightly different one, feel free to ask. Depending
on the intended use we might be able to release rights to you in
return for acknowledgements, desk copies, other in-kind
contributions, or tax-deductible monetary contributions to Marietta
College, to be used in part to underwrite future trips for our
students. Again, please email
Dr. Dave McShaffrey to discuss your project. |

Everyone
else - how you can help:
- Be an advocate for our
planet - reduce, reuse, recycle. We'd like future
generations to have a natural world to explore too.
- If you know a bright
high-school age student looking for a good college, draw their
attention to Marietta College.
- If you use any of the
images from this site, please add a citation citing Marietta
College and, if feasible, listing the college web site,
i.e. Source: Marietta College - www.marietta.edu.
- If you want to be
exceedingly generous, a check is always a great way to help us
in our work. We'd use the money to help lower the costs of
future field trips for the students, either directly by putting it
into the travel fund or indirectly by buying the books and
equipment needed for these trips (and for our regular classes as
well). You can make out the check to "Marietta
College" and send it to me:
Dave McShaffrey
Department of Biology
Marietta College
Marietta, OH 45750
Explain what you want
done with the money and I'll take it up to the advancement
office so they can get a receipt for tax purposes back to
you. Or, if you want to deal directly with them, or use a
credit card or whatever, check out their website at http://www.marietta.edu/advancement/faq.html.
