Photographing and Filming Policy for UWM Libraries

The UWM Libraries welcomes the use of the library building for filming and photography projects. To help maintain an appropriate environment for study and research in the library, and to protect the confidentiality of users, anyone interested in filming or photographing in the library must complete a Media Permissions Form (online below or as hard copy at the main Circulation Desk) and receive authorization from the Libraries Building Manager or the Circulation Desk Supervisor.

Questions regarding this policy should be addressed to Steve Keltner.
