Photography & Filming

Photography and Filming Policy

Randall Library is a public space. Photography and filming (including videography) that do not
interfere with library operations are generally permitted under the following conditions.
The Library accepts no liability for the use of photos or film made in or around the facility. The library reserves the right to terminate or restrict photography and filming that, in its view, cause a disturbance, endanger the safety of employees or library users or violate any other University policy, local ordinance, or state or federal law.

Photography:

Photography designed to record a visit or make use of the library setting as a backdrop is
generally permitted. Individuals who take photographs or film are asked to honor requests not
to be included in photos or film. The one exception would be those instances where it is required
for a legitimate news story. Photos of minors are prohibited without the permission of their
parent or guardian.

Videography and Film:

UNCW Policy 05.380 Filming on University Property governs filming in Randall Library.
Student filming requests must be directed to the Business Affairs Office. The current contact is
Marjorie Green, greenm [at] uncw [dot] edu, 910-962-7769, Alderman Hall, Room 208. Students filming as an employee of a UNCW entity should contact the University Librarian (962-3270) for approval.

Media Representatives:

Library employees will notify the University Librarian and Marketing and Communications Office (962-3861) when news media are in the building.
