Notes for counter staff with regards to photography and filming within library grounds

(1)When readers approach to ask if they can enter the library premises to photograph and film, staff on duty should question whether it is for a “newspaper, magazine or media television news”.

Should the answer be in the affirmative, please inform the librarian-in-charge (on the spot or by leaving a message). The librarian-in-charge will confirm with the party in question the content needed with regards to the shoot and assist with applying for the shoot by contacting the respective person-in-charge at the Secretariat though the extension 5025.

(2)Should non-off campus media apply to film, allow them to fill in an application for and notify a librarian immediately.

(3)During regular working hours, inform a librarian within the service area. For evening and holiday shifts, look for a librarian on duty.

(4)The librarian will be responsible for understanding the content of the shoot, bringing across matters in need of attention, and for the reviewing of the application form.

(5)Please stay alert for any abnormal situations that may arise during the period of shoot, such as violations of public order, moral practice, damage or theft of public property, noise disturbances, and arguments with library users. Report to a librarian immediately for assistance to stop the shoot should such situations arise. Should you encounter readers taking photographs or filming in the library without applying to do so beforehand, please inform them politely to fill in the application form at the counter before proceeding with the shoot.
