I don't see a problem with her request as long she is citing Roy
Epperson in her exhibit and giving AIS credit.

I believe the board should respond to this.
Thank you, Kathleen

Dear Ms. Sonntag,
I would like permission to create an educational exhibit
for the Belton Iris Society's 2015 Iris Show that explains color patterns
in irises. I would like to use the pictures and descriptions that
Mr. E. Roy Epperson used in his work "Color Patterns". If I could
have permission to enlage Mr. Epperson's work to a 20" x 30" poster, I
believe our iris society members and the general public will have a better
understanding of the terminology that many iris lovers use, such as
"Amoena" and "Luminata".
I plan to cite Mr. Epperson's work either
following the American Psychological Association (APA) or the Modern
Language Association of America (MLA) guidelines. Your choice.
APA version:
Epperson, E. Roy
(2011). Color Patterns. In The American Iris Society (Ed.),
Basic Iris Culture or "What Every
Iris Grower Should Know" (3rd ed.) (p. 9). The American
Iris Society.
MLA Version:
Epperson, E. Roy.
"Color Patterns."
Basic
Iris Culture or "What Every Iris Grower Should Know". 3rd
Ed. N.p.:The American Iris Society, 2011. 9.
Note: Town of publication was not listed.
Under normal
circumstances I would ask the author, but as he is deceased and the
editors are not specifically listed, I thought it best to request
permission from the AIS Editor. If this is incorrect, I will
appreciate any guidance that you can provide me that will help me create
this poster without infringing on the American Iris Society's
copyright.
Thank you for your attention in this
manner.
