conditions of use
We ask you to adhere to the terms under which she-philosopher.com website content (text and images) is made available.
Copying of materials from she-philosopher.com is permitted only under the Fair Use provisions of copyright law. Unless otherwise noted, formal permission for reprints, screenshots, and hyperlinks is not required, but a brief e-mail message describing your use of she-philosopher.com content would be appreciated.
Please remember to credit she-philosopher.com as your source.
A note on linking to and/or copying she-philosopher.com images:
Please do not “hotlink” (also known as “leeching,” “piggy-backing,” “direct linking,” “offsite image grabs” and “bandwidth theft”) she-philosopher.com images.
Linking directly to an image on another website — whereby the image appears on your own pages, as if it’s your own image, with no reference to the site that created and owns the original image — is considered bad netiquette. When you link directly to another website’s image (instead of to the actual Web page that includes the image), you’re using the other website’s bandwidth to display the image, while denying that website rightful acknowledgement and visitors.
The best practice for reproducing an online image is to place a “thumbnail” version of the image on your site, with a link to the originating site’s Web page where the image is found. A less courteous, but still acceptable, practice is to take a local copy of the image (i.e., copy and save the image on your own server), and link directly to that, as long as you’re sure you’ve not infringed anyone’s copyright by so doing.
She-philosopher.com prefers that you follow “best practices” when reproducing digital images, because doing so will help build the sort of online citation trails which undergird printed scholarship. But we also recognize that there is sometimes a good reason for needing to copy and post one of our images at full size, and we do allow this as long as she-philosopher.com is fully credited as the image source.
When formally referencing online materials in printed and/or scholarly publications (including student papers, journal articles, and monographs), it is customary to include the website name, the date you accessed the cited material, and the appropriate URL (most often, an “http://” address). Suggested citation formats for she-philosopher.com webtexts and images are given below.

Brown, Alexander. Engraving of “The Velasco Map,” MS. map dated 1611?. Item CLVIII in vol. 1 of The Genesis of the United States. By Alexander Brown. Facs. rpt. The she-philosopher.com website, Gallery Cat. 52. Accessed 7 May 2005, from < http://www.she-philosopher.com/gallery/gallery_cat03.html#cat_052 >.
The upper-level GALLERY page includes the relevant copyright notice, and is the easiest way of linking a gallery image to its unchanging catalog number — always a more reliable reference for Gallery images than is the URL for a particular gallery exhibit, since it’s quite possible that images may be moved from one gallery exhibit to another as the site evolves.
Those wishing to link directly to a Gallery catalog thumbnail image (as in the second Dürer example given above), but who are unable to ascertain the proper URL for an individual Catalog page entry, should contact the site editor.
For Publications in the She-Philosopher.Com Library
Please use the upper-level LIBRARY page URL < http://www.she-philosopher.com/library.html >, as in the following examples:

This upper-level LIBRARY page includes the relevant copyright notice, as well as the links which direct visitors to the entry for a given e-text in the Library Catalog. Because the Library Catalog includes contextual explanations for every work in the she-philosopher.com Library, it is preferable that referred visitors begin their reading here. And because the URLs for Library Catalog entries may change over time, it is preferable that referred visitors link to these from the upper-level LIBRARY page, where links are kept updated.
