Abstract
Interlibrary supply has been about sending photocopies or actually lending books, but there is increasing demand for images of three-dimensional objects as they really are. Original objects cannot be delivered, but technology allows delivery of images from museums and galleries as well as archives and libraries and users can often find these on the Web. There are no "rights" in many of these materials which allows unlimited image creation, sharing and downloading. The two major factors to consider are whether what is supplied is a true image of the object requested and second, the de-contextualisation of the image from the collection where the object is housed.
