library

Reproduction of the documentary material in the museum is allowed for research and scientific documentation purposes. The reproductions must respect the limits put in place by the actual laws on the author's rights and by the museum's rules for the protection of its collections.

In order to use reproductions of the material owned by the museum for commercial purposes, an authorization release of the publication is required as well as a payment for economic usage rights due in the form that will be agreed upon by the involved parties.
The request for authorization must be forwarded to the Museum Administration, specifying the number of images to publish and the position of the images (inside, cover, etc.), the type of publication, the price for the public, and the number of copies to be made.
The permit is non-transferable, exclusive, and is released to be used for only one publication. It is obligatory to cite the Museo internazionale e biblioteca della musica di Bologna as the owner of the reproduced object.

The photocopy service is exclusively reserved for partial reproduction - up to a maximum of 20 photocopies - of the open shelf consultation material, modern volumes, and periodicals. It is regulated by copyright laws.
