MAP & IMAGERY LABORATORY
DAVIDSON LIBRARY
The Map and Imagery Laboratory (MIL) receives no funding for
services to persons not affiliated with the University of California, or for
non-UC work done by persons who are students, faculty or staff of the University
of California. Fees have therefore been implemented to cover the cost of staff
time and of all overhead, including maintenance and purchase of collections and equipment.
Full
reference service is available from 9:00am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday. Air
photos pulled by 4:30pm may be viewed until 8pm, Monday through Thursday nights,
during fall, winter, and spring quarters while classes are in session; there is
no reference assistance during evening hours. To ensure that researchers have
enough time to research the collections, appointments are required to view
the photo archives. Appointments are scheduled for 2-hour blocks,
9:00am-5pm, with no appointments scheduled to begin after 2:00 p.m. To schedule an appointment call (805) 893-2779.
Full
reference service ends at 4:30 p.m. After this time no
photographic materials will be pulled. Materials not pulled before 4:30pm may
be pulled on the following business day for additional search fees.
Arrangements for reproductions must also be made before 4:30 p.m.
Frames pulled for a search may be
viewed the following day free of charge; please notify staff to make these
arrangements. No additional frames may
be pulled without additional search fees.
Additional viewing days will be charged at $10/day.
Conducting a search does not
guarantee that there will be coverage of that area. Users may consult lists of flights for
general preliminary information; MIL must receive payment before proceeding
with a search.
Fees paid for searches and reproductions will not be refunded.
A site is defined as a single
point location (such as an address or building), or a single continuous feature
(such as a beach or a slough) 60 square miles or less in size; as a comparison
this is approximately the size of the area covered by one USGS
1:24,000 quadrangle.
If a flight is available in digital form the hardcopy prints will not be pulled for viewing unless specifically requested.
Letters of certification written by MIL staff are available,
for $45 per hour of staff time.
·
Air
Photos: $65 to view up to 20 flights of a single site location in
one day. Each flight over 20 will be
charged $3 to view. Additional viewing
days may incur additional charges.
·
Satellite
Imagery: $60 per satellite-site/day. (Satellite-site is defined as
an area no larger than the size of four contiguous Landsat
scenes). Fees for searches of more than 20 contiguous Landsat
scenes are negotiable.
·
Combined
Air Photo and Satellite Imagery: $90 per site/day.
·
Single-Flight
Search: $30 per site/day.
·
If specific frames of interest have been identified using our on-line indexes: $10 fee per site. NOTE: No indexes or additional frames pulled without full search fee.
MIL staff
will on a time-available basis perform searches; please note that the
department's first priority remains the UC academic community, and patrons that
come to MIL in person. MIL must have proof of payment pending before a search
is begun. A copy of a company purchase order via FAX - that the library can
bill against as payment of the search fee - is acceptable. A fax to MIL of a copy of your check (made
out to U.C. Regents) will enable
staff to begin the search; search results will not be released until the check
is received.
MIL staff
search fee = $90 base fee for 2 hours of research time. Additional
search time = $45 per hour
Complete the Imagery Search Request Form and
submit by mail, email, or FAX; always include a map with your site marked. If
your search will take longer than the 2-hour limit, MIL will give you an
estimate of the time required to complete your search based on your parameters.
Upon completion of the search, MIL will mail, email or FAX to you a listing of
the flights and frames covering your site. You are welcome to come to MIL in
person and view these frames; call in advance to schedule an appointment.
Generally the imagery will be pulled previous to your appointment. One
viewing is included in a search fee payment; there is a $10 re-look fee each
additional day air photos are viewed.
