Color illustrations

[Aimee Glassel <aglassel@library.wisc.edu>]

Hello,

We recently had a patron ask for a color copy of an article from 
a journal we have in the stacks because the illustrations in the 
electronic version were in black and white. The article they 
needed included some very technical illustrations with captions 
indicating the significance of each color. It was not possible to 
distinguish between the colors in the black and white .pdf file.

This has gotten me thinking. Does anyone have any sample language 
that addresses a commitment to provide full color illustrations 
(when there are illustrations) along with the full text? While we 
had access to the print in the situation above, as we convert 
more and more of our subscriptions to e-only, the need for such 
assurances in our licenses seems to be essential.
