Fees for Still Images
The fees listed below are for non-exclusive use of a single image unless otherwise indicated. They are assessed in addition to duplication charges (photocopy, scan, or other) and are to be paid in advance of publication. Only those images actually used in publication are subject to fees. If a request covers more than one form of publication, the fees are cumulative.
These fees are separate from any which might be assigned or assessed by the copyright holder.
Publication fees are waived for UNL students working on their theses or dissertations.
