When I visited Leiden earlier this year, I had an iPad mini with me, so I took a few quick snaps of Codex Vossianus Graecus 1, a set of maps (perhaps sixteenth century) to accompany Ptolemy's Geography. Thanks to the library's policies, I can make images like available as citable scholarly resources.

When the phone or tablet you happen to be carrying gives you photos rivaling or surpassing anything published in print, the technology is not much of a barrier. When the default policy is that you can use your photographs as you see fit, neither is legal licensing.
(To see what's legible in a quick and poorly lit snap from an iPad mini, see this zoomable image of folios 2-3.)
