Slide Production Policy

Photographing, preparing, and cataloging a slide requires a minimum of two weeks. Slide request forms are available in the Art Slide Library. We expect faculty to check the drawers prior to submitting a request so as to avoid duplicate ordering.

SoA Faculty

Art History Faculty Art & Design Faculty
Slide quotas are assigned to each faculty member based on the number of classes they are teaching during the current academic year, with additional slides allotted for new courses.

Each Art and Design program, including Foundations, is allotted a slide quota every school year. Specifying a class number or program when ordering slides helps the Slide Library properly allocate requests.

Slides of Faculty Work:
The Art Slide Library collects slides of faculty work. Current and prospective students, both undergraduate and graduate, frequently visit the Art Slide Library to look at examples of faculty artwork. If you are unable to donate slides, the Art Slide Library will gladly duplicate slides from your collection. Examples of faculty artwork are exempt from slide quotas.

SoA faculty members may contact Jeanette Mills, Director of Visual Services, with questions regarding quota sizes and balances.

SoA Graduate Students & Teaching Assistants

Teaching Assistants Graduate Students
Photography is done only at the request of a professor. However if an image is necessary for teaching, TAs may consult the professor they are assisting, and the Slide Library will do the photography if the professor approves the request.

Photography is done only at the request of a professor. However if an area in the collection needs work, graduate students may notify an ASL staff member or consult with an appropriate faculty person about making the request.

Slides needed for seminar or source presentations also should be approved in advance by an appropriate faculty member.

Non-SoA Faculty & Students
Because the Art Slide Library is a School of Art facility, we do not normally accept slide orders from people outside the School. However, if you see a need for slides that also would be of interest to SoA faculty, please talk with Jeanette Mills, Director of Visual Services.
