Alfred R. Goldstein Library Filming Policy
The Goldstein Library encourages student use of its spaces for filming; however, its locations are not movie sets and filming may not interfere with normal Library operations. Library personnel maintain the right to ask a filming individual/crew to pause, move, or stop if they feel that the activity is an interference.
*Commercial and other entities outside Ringling College should contact the Library Director to discuss permissions for filming.
- Students wishing to film in the library must obtain permission from the library director or a library supervisor and a sponsoring faculty/staff member at least 3 days before filming begins. This includes the completion of the Library Filming Policy Form.
- Dates and times the student will be filming must be clearly established in advance and must be strictly adhered to.
- Interviews or films that include speaking should be restricted to a library study room to prevent disturbance of those working in the library. Study rooms must be reserved in advance by a faculty or staff member.
- Students must present the Library Filming Policy Form with all required signatures at the library’s first floor service desk when they wish to begin filming.
- Students must adhere to any instructions given them by the library staff during filming.
- Any furniture moved during the course of filming must be returned to its original location.
- Filming must not be disruptive towards others who are using the library.
- Students are responsible for any damages that may occur to the building or collections caused by the activity of filming. Damages must be reported to the library staff immediately.
- Refrain from filming other people in the library or their computer screens without their awareness or permission.
- The library requests that proper credit be given for the location. Please refer to the library as the Alfred R. Goldstein Library.
