[Videolib] Adios: The Movie

Hi all

Well, it's really getting down to the wire, folks...Thursday is it for me.

Given its increasingly dire financial situation, the library no longer
provides individual retirement celebrations; they hold one rather paltry
party for everyone who retires in June...sort of like a mass burial.  Hope
there's booze, at least.

Since I'm in no mood to make yet another going-away speech, I cobbled
together a little 8 minute clip reel that I'm gonna show in flagrant
disregard for copyright.  I think it's only appropriate that I go out in
grand, transgressive style.  And to compound the transgression, I've put
the video up for your streaming pleasure at:

http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/videodir/asx2/adios.asx

Unfortunately, it's encoded for Windows media player...  If you're a Mac
person (as am I), you'll need to download the free Flip4Mac plug-in from

Don't get your shorts in a wed, Jessica.  I'll take it down tomorrow.

Re: [Videolib] Faculty's personally owned copies and digitization

Hey Mary Lou

Well, whether there's a problem or not depends on how wild and wooly your
institution is in interpreting fair use.

Section 108 (which makes allowances for duplicating legally acquired,
physically at-risk items no longer available for purchase at fair market
prices)allows use of duplicated materials in the library building... More
liberal interpretations of this MIGHT allow for use of such materials in a
classroom... Streaming for access of 108-duplicated materials might
(MIGHT) hold up if access were limited to use within the library physical
plant...access more widely (e.g. off campus by students in a
course)...well, that's pushing things pretty hard.  Our lawyer for the
Mellon project I'm involved in is a pretty liberal guy (at least, for a
lawyer)doesn't think it'd fly. The 108 Study Group (which was charged with
looking at that section of the copyright law and making
recommendations)didn't deal with online delivery of 108-eligible material.

Then there's the whole UCLA, how-and-what-kinda-use-is-fair-use thing...

If it were me, I wouldn't.  Clips, maybe.  Whole works, too risky.

[Videolib] Mellon Video At Risk Project

2012-06-14 Thread ghandman

Hi all

I've recently sent in our final, phase II report regarding Berkeley's
participation in the Mellon Videos at Risk Project.  If you'll remember,
this is a project to develop best practices for:  1) identifying items in
library video collections that are currently out of distribution and which
show some signs of physical deterioration 2) researching current
availability of these items in the commercial market (i.e.
mechanisms/procedures for demonstrating good-faith attempts at meeting the
broad "fair market" stipulations of copyright section 108) 3) broad
practices and standards for both preservation and access digitization of
materials identified as qualifying for allowances of Section 108.

The sources we consulted:

a.  Google & OCLC:
i.  Video title
ii. Production company name
iii.Director name(s)
iv. Producer name(s)
b.  Facebook, Linkedin
c.   amazon US (amazon will be consulted for the availability of 
non-fiction titles in home video distribution)
d.  videolib listserv (an international discussion list for video
librarians that currently has over 1,200 subscribers, including
librarians, archivists, educators, filmmakers and film/video distributors
e.  US Copyright Registry (for post-1978 titles)


We are generally looking at non-fiction titles and performance works
(rather than theatrical movies).  We are also going to have to come to
grips with the current restrictions placed by 108 on where/how reproduced
materials may be used and how these materials may be delivered.  (the
project is working with an excellent legal guy on these issues)

In any case, I promised deg I'd put out Berkeley's list of materials
identified as being out of distribution/at risk.  It is attached.

It should be noted that Berkeley took a considerably different tact in
pursuing this project than NYU.  The grant formally called for
investigating at risk materials in partner collection held by 3 or fewer
institutions in the US.  Early on, Berkeley decided instead to look at at-
risk titles that have been identified as high--or at least
consistent--use, regardless of their scarcity in US libraries.

I've handed the future of this project over to Berkeley's preservation
department--a group of folks that has had some really useful experiences
in
dealing with statewide archival moving image and sound materials.  I'm
certain they'll be great at picking up the torch.

Let me know if you have questions.

Re: [Videolib] Difficulties in obtaining streaming rights

Well...at present there are two alternatives, and really two only

1.  Throw up your hands and find another film...assuming that streaming
without permission or license does not stand up to fair use tests or your
institution's tolerance for risk...

or

2.  Cast your lots with the risk-tolerant and UCLA and go to the liberal
interpretation battlements by streaming first and asking questions later.

yeah!  Remember that the CCUMC/CONFU Fair Use Guidelines for Educational

in the drafting process pretty much refused to sign on because of these
attempts and I think it's a good stand to to stand by.  Quantifying fair
use is a nasty slippery slope, indeed!

Re: [Videolib] PPR question

2012-05-14 Thread ghandman

Hi

Well, maybe you could bring in a couple of table lamps, a nice area rug,
and comfy couch and call it home video viewing...

Strictly speaking, what you're proposing doing constitutes public
performance, and therefor requires rights. On the other hand, depends on
how risk-averse you are and what it is that you're thinking of screening. 
If it's Bullfrog or Video Project or another indie distributor, I'd bet a
nice courtesy call would get you an OK.  Again, if you're feeling frisky,
you might just go ahead and do it (unless it's a Disney film). Seems like
the risk of mad dog litigation is pretty small.

Re: [Videolib] Community Practices in the Fair Use of Video in Libraries

2012-05-04 Thread ghandman

Hi all

Well...as my screed yesterday demonstrates, it's never too late to be
stupid.  As my friend Judy Thomas reminded me (tactfully offline), I was,
indeed, surveyed for this project.  I owe an apology to Judy and her
hard-working crew, as well as thanks for attempting to bring at least a
bit of clarity to these knotty and often maddeningly obtuse issues.

I think my lashing out stems from a general and continuing frustration
with the fact that, in all too many cases, policy and practice and
advocacy in the areas of video copyright and licensing, fair use, etc. are
often being made in the library and academic worlds by individuals and
groups who have very little knowledge of or stake in either the worlds of
video production and distribution, or the on-going process of video
collection development and management.  The direct relationship between
the economic health and viability of content producers/distributors and
the building of useful and diverse collections is something about which
those of us actually "doing media" know a great deal.  Not so much the
pundits at ARL...

My rather snarky note yesterday was penned with an apparently ill-founded
fear that the right people weren't being queried, and that these
misinformed responses would form the basis of best practice...

In any case...I hope Judy and her team will forgive my late-career lapse
in judgment.

I wish Judy et al had vetted this survey via this list--one would assume a
prime target.  I'll admit to a rapidly failing memory, but I don't recall
being asked to take this survey...

The answers you get in a survey such as this MUST be assessed in light of
who's doing the responding (i.e. the defined "community").  Given the
rather insane and continuing paucity of professionals devoted either in
significant part or whole to overseeing media collection development and
management in academic libraries, and given the likely cloudy or
incomplete understanding of current market and legal issues by those not
directly involved in the practice, I think you gotta take such results
with several grains of salt.  Using community practice as the basis of
best practice when the community surveyed is largely clueless ain't a
particularly good way to go.

Thanks, Mark

NO ONE in my family has every been more than 5'6" (xcept for one weird
uncle who made it to 6'...where he came from, no one knows)...I'm, like,
5'5'--a function of genetics, not career stress.

I have no intention whatsoever of volunteering in libraries...After 34
years working in them, I'm pretty much done with libraries...I'm gonna
stick to bookstores from now on.  I DO want to do some museum
volunteering...or other...haven't quite figured it all out yet, except for
the smiling, traveling, reading and eating good food.

Cheers!

Gary

Hi

It's not really rocket science.  You contact the person(s) responsible for
acquisition and if they're interested, they'll ask for a screener for
consideration.

The alternative, of course, is to set up your own lemonade stand on the
internet and hope for the best...

Maybe our vendor friends on this list will chime in?

Re: [Videolib] domestic violence documentaries

2012-04-06 Thread ghandman

Hi

Here's a Women Make Movies title that looks at women in prison who lobby
on behalf of abused women:

Sin by Silence
From behind prison walls, the film reveals the lives of extraordinary
women who advocated for a future free from domestic violence. Inside
California's oldest women's prison, the first inmate-initiated and led
group in the U.S. prison system was created by inmate Brenda Clubine
to help abused women speak out and realize they are not alone. Over
the past two decades, the women of CWAA, Convicted Women Against
Abuse, have changed laws for battered women and raised awareness for
those on the outside. The documentary tells the personal and shocking
stories of these courageous women who have learned from their past,
are changing their future, and most importantly, are teaching us how
domestic violence affects each and every person. Directed & produced
by Olivia Klaus. Special features (ca. 2 hrs.): "Violence and abuse"
discussion clips (40 min.) -- "CWAA Meetings" clips (11 min.) --
"Batterer's perspective" featurette (14 min.)-- Law enforcement and
corrections" discussion clips (22 min.) -- "Legal aspects" discussion
clips (24 min.) -- "Faith-based" discussion clips (15 min.) -- "Brenda
Clubine" clips (12 min.). c2009. 49 min.

and another on sort of the same topic (available as home video)

'Til Death Do Us Part
Takes the viewer on a journey with incarcerated battered women, as
they relate their stories from first falling in love, through the
abuse by their spouses, the murder, trial, parole process, and
finally, for one woman, freedom. It is thought in our society that a
woman can leave an abusive relationship at any time. However, the
women in this film prove the contrary. They were under the age of 24,
isolated from their families and had virtuallly no money. They all
reached a point where there was a final beating in which the survival
instinct prevailed. In these final moments, they snapped and killed.
Produced and directed by Vita Lusty. Special features: Director's film
notes ; short film "Cops to courts: saving our women" ; short film
"Bybee" ; live performance video of Faith Nolan. c2008. 92 min.

"archaeology" ;-{)}   ).

Thanks also to all for the really lovely words...best going away present a
guy could possibly ask for.

Re: [Videolib] FW: pricing

Hi Nahum

If you're going to be selling streaming rights, you're actually selling a
kind of use license.  At very least you'll need to indicate the duration
of the rights (i.e. will these rights remain with the licensee in
perpetuity?  For a limited time?  etc.)  You should also consider
developing a separate license document which states the terms and
conditions of use (e.g. who may have access to this stream?  Institutional
clients only?  General public?  etc.)

[Videolib] Good Night and Good Luck

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls

It is with a mix of melancholy, ebullience, slight trepidation, and vast
relief that I announce my forthcoming retirement from the University of
California Berkeley and the Media Resources Center on June 28, 2012.
Today marks my 33rd anniversary with the University, and this year my 36th
as a librarian (a fact which seems more than a little surreal to me).  
I’ve been director of the Media Center for about 28 of those years, and
there hasn’t been week, good or bad, that has gone by without my murmuring
a little thanks for the cosmic hiccups that allowed me to stumble into
such a cool and personally rewarding gig.   I simply cannot think of
anywhere that I would have been happier professionally, or another
position in which I would have grown and learned and contributed as much.

In some sense, I feel a bit like Mark Twain, who was born during the fiery
appearance of Halley’s Comet, and who went out with its reappearance, 74
years later.  I began my career in media in the early 80s, at the dawn of
the home video age (or the “Video Revolution” as it was often
hyperbolically called in the library literature at the time).  I’m bowing
out of the business at a time when the technologies and economics of video
production and distribution, and the video content universe itself are
again in a state of radical flux.  Along with these changes, video
collections and service in libraries are also bound to experience major
tremors and evolutionary shifts.  I’m not sure whether I’m leaving the
scene feeling sanguine or pessimistic about this future, but in any case
it’s definitely going to be an interesting and challenging next decade.

I am going to miss all my long-time professional pals profoundly, both
those on the library side and the distributor side of the fence.  I grew
up with a number of you in this field, and along the way you’ve become a
kind of extended workaday family, complete with the obstreperous
get-togethers, occasional bickering, and comforting sympathy.  I’m also
heartened by the number of young, creative, and energetic colleagues who
have hopped on board in more recent times.  Definitely makes me less
gloomy about prospects for the future.

Not sure exactly what I’m going to do next:  I’d like to continue teaching
film somewhere on campus or off; I’m up for grabs as a consultant; want to
write a bit; gotta catch up on all the national cinemas I’ve given
short-shrift to over the years; want to log in more gym time; would like
to hone my banjo and ukulele-playing chops; want to get back to freelance
cartooning and illustration.  At very least, I’m aiming at becoming an
accomplished and well-known Berkeley flâneur and café personality.

As for the fate of the UC Berkeley Media Resources Center…  In light of
the dire economic straits into which UC has been shoved, it is almost
completely unlikely that my position will be filled any time soon.  The
future of the redoubtable MRC collection and website remains murky, at
best.  I can’t really think about all of this too much; it’s just too damn
depressing to ponder, and I’ve got other things on my mind. In other
words, après moi, le deluge, and there’s not a damn thing I can do about
it.

For the time being, Gisele Tanasse (MLIS), crack MRC Operations Czarina,
will look after the shop.  She has also graciously agreed to keep an
administrative eye on videolib and videonews.  (Note, however, that she’s
going out on maternity leave from May until around the end of September,
so you’re pretty much on your own during that hiatus.  Play nice!).  
Gisele’s email is gtana...@library.berkeley.edu.  I’ll be around and
wrapping things up for the next few months.  My civilian email address
after June is going to be garyhand...@gmail.com and I’m also on Facebook. 
I’d love to stay in touch (but please don’t contact me about anything
having to do with copyright or fair use).

Best of luck for the future, comrades!  Continue fighting the good fight. 
It really has been an honor and a delight working with you all.
Salud!

Re: [Videolib] re Your pricing policies

2012-03-26 Thread ghandman

Thanks

There's still a problem, I'm afraid.  Screening films/videos in a
classroom in the service of regular curricula does not require separate
rights in this country.  The copyright laws of the US have a specific
provision for allowing such use in face-to-face teaching.

It would be more accurate (and honest) to simply charge two prices:

One for use in classrooms and libraries, and one for public performance.

As to your question:  An opening screening (i.e. an extra-curricular
screening) generally requires performance rights, even if a professor
gives a spiel before the show, and even if no admittance fees are charged.

Berkeley would be interested in joining your growing customer base, but
not with the terms currently stated on your web site.

Shalom,

Gary

Re: [Videolib] DVD approval plans

2012-03-23 Thread ghandman

Hi

Here's a profoundly curmudegonly take on video approval plans for academic
libraries.

Print approval plans have historically made a fair amount of sense for
academic libraries faced with the considerable task of keeping up with an
enormous universe of print in the face of limited staff resources and
expertise.

Video approval plans, on the other hand, make very little sense at all
from either a collection development or a budgetary standpoint...or at
least they provide considerably fewer benefits than their print
counterparts. (Should be mentioned that you can count the number of video
approval plans on one hand).

For one thing, the universe of video content appropriate to academic
libraries is, compared to print, tiny, particularly those titles that
exist outside of the mass market (i.e. indie produced and distributed
works).  It would seem to me that the smaller the content universe, and
the smaller the budget, the less sense it makes letting someone else do
the deciding.

Print approval plans use a wide variety of "hooks" by which books are
selected:  subject matter (more or less finely defined), nature of the
publication (scholarly, popular) publisher, geographical area,
chronological coverage, authorship, audience factors (grad, undergrad,
general, etc.)  On the other hand, the number of selection criteria for
video is considerably more complex and difficult to nail down.  If the
plan is including mass market/home video, how does one define selection
criteria?  Awards (maybe)...authorship (maybe)...subject definition is a
lot more difficult, unless you dumb it down (want all on the environment).
Beyond subject-based concerns, assessing the merits and appropriateness of
a video also include such things as looking at the quality of the visuals
and sound; looking at directorial creativity and effectiveness; the
authority and accuracy of the content.  I don't know this for a fact, but
it seems unlikely that most video approval plans are going to put that
much thought into selection.

If you expand selection to the indie universe, the stakes are a lot
higher.  Do you really want someone else making decisions for you at $250
a pop?  I don't.

We're pretty much first come, first served...  Not practical in terms of
staff or equipment to do otherwise.

Interestingly, such situations have occasionally been impetus for

Re: [Videolib] Lifetime Streaming Rights

2012-03-16 Thread ghandman

I don't see why libraries can't do the
same AT LEAST until we work out the language in our contracts that
allows us to do this with full disclosure to the rights holders.

You mean why can't libraries pay over and over and over again for access
to static content?  I don't think so...  We do it now in many cases
because that's the lay of the land, but it sucks (to put it bluntly).

Libraries license rights to access other databases (such as journal
databases) on an annual/semiannual/whatever basis.  In such cases the
product almost always evolves over time, adding content or other value
added features.

The notion that the value of a video title to the institution increases
when the format changes simply is not accurate (or supportable).  The
notion that access to online access (limited to institutional primary
clientele)has anything whatsoever to do with market loss (at least for
non-theatrical films) is equally inaccurate and non-supportable.

If we're gonna discuss these matters, we need to unbundle the economics of
distributor/producer interaction and the value and uses of these
productions to the institution.  If you're telling me you need to term
license because that's the only way to deal contractually with filmmakers,
I can (almost) understand the argument (while still not liking it at all).
 If you're saying something else, I don't buy it.

Re: [Videolib] Facets launches EDU site with streaming rights

2012-03-15 Thread ghandman

Well, isn't this basically the same deal as other streaming:  if it works
for your institution in terms of cost-effectiveness and general utility,
it works.  If not, not...stick with the DVD.

I must say that the current FACETS list of titles available for streaming
license is limited...but I understand that it's gonna grow.

We're already deep into licensing print content (remember journals?)...I
balk at term licensing, because it pisses me off to buy the same title
every 3-5 years.  On the other hand, the ability to acquire a heavily-used
title for streaming in-perpetuity is pretty damn cool...even at $500.

Hey Maureen

We subscribed to Film Movement in its earliest years...it was a lot
cheaper back then.

I've found the films really amazing, for the most part.  Small, indie, off
the beaten track, foreign and domestic, and generally wonderful.  I like
the fact that many of these discs also include cool short films.

That said:  I think the pricing is a bit high and I also think that
without concerted publicity and "chatting-up" many of the titles received
will never be used...

Re: [Videolib] Title suggestion for 'African diaspora in Europe'

Hi

I assume you're including North Africans?

Docs

Europlex
Investigates the daily, sometimes illicit migration, across borders
between Morocco and Spain- a rare intersection of the first and third
worlds. Paying off officials to look the other way, workers smuggle
contraband across the border, sometimes crossing up to 11 times a day.
In a now common scenario, Moroccan woman work in North Africa to
produce goods destined for the European market, even as domestics
commute into a Spanish enclave in Moroccan territory. A videotape by
Ursula Biemann and Angela Sanders. c2003. 20 min. Women Make Movies

Out They Go; One-way ticket to Ghana
Peter Ekwiri, a Ugandan, is only one of many people whose applications
for asylum in the E.U. have been denied. And like many other blacks
from Africa considered "undesirable" by European governments such as
Sweden and Germany, he was forcibly deported, but not to his home
country. This program uses Ekwiri's case as a springboard to reveal a
corrupt system in which E.U. police and immigration authorities
clandestinely pay Ghana to act as a transfer point, in reality a
dumping ground, for black deportees. And life in Ghana usually means
years of imprisonment and an obscure death. The program also
investigates other similar cases while exploring the statistical
implications of European racial bias against black Africans.  2001. 59
min.
Films Media Group.

The People Next Door
Chinese, Arabs, Jews, Algerians, Tunisians, Africans, and French live
together in the Belleville neighborhood of Paris. Traditionally a
melting pot of all races, this piece examines the nuances of racism,
spoken and not, in a community that exists by circumstances, not
choice. A Film by Patrick Zachmann. 10 min.
(used to be distributed by Icarus, but may be O.D.)

Code inconnu: Récit incomplet de divers voyages (Code Unknown: Incomplete
Yales of Several Journeys)(France / Germany / Romania, 2000)
Director, Michael Haneke. Cast: Juliette Binoche, Thierry Neuvic, Ona
Lu Yenke, Sepp Bierbichler, Arsinee Khanjian. On a bustling Paris
street corner four separate livesintersect, interweaving the stories
of a promising actress, her photojournalist boyfriend, a teacher of
African descent and a Romanian illegal immigrant in this portrait of
life in a fractured, lonely world. 113 min.

Exiles (France / Japan, 2004)
Directed by Tony Gatlif. Cast: Romain Duris, Lubna Azabal, Leila
Makhlouf, Zouhir Gacem, Habib Cheikh. A young couple, both of Arabic
descent, leave Paris with no money, jobs, or connections, and travel
to their ancestral home of Algeria. In search of re-connecting to
their roots, they cross three countries by foot, bus, train, and
hitched rides. 104 min.

Le Gone du Chaaba (France, 1997)
Director, Christophe Ruggia. Cast: Bouzid Negnoug, Mohamed Fellag,
Nabil Ghalem. Set in 1956 France in a city slum outside of Lyons, a
poor Algerian father wants his son to be the best in school, although
the boy is not very gifted. 105 min.

Inch'Allah Dimanche (Algeria, France, 2001)
Director, Yamina Benguigui. Film about the "family reunion," the
French government's euphemism for a 1974 law allowing Algerian wives
to rejoin their husbands working in France. Strong-willed Zouina parts
tearfully from her mother in the port of Algiers; once in France, she
and her three small children are at the mercy of her mother-in-law and
confused by the strange customs of their local grocer and
garden-obsessed neighbor. The radio is her only window on life and on
the women of this new country. 98 min.

Director, Yüksel Yavuz. Cast: Cagdas Bozkurt, Leroy Delmar, Nazmi
Kirik, Necmettin Cobanoglu, Naci Ozarslan, Susanna Rozkosny, Sunay
Girisken, Thomas Ebermann. Baran, a Kurdish teen from Turkey, makes
bicycle deliveries for a kebab shop while trying to outwit the
authorities who have refused him political asylum. He strikes up a
friendship with another outsider, an illegal African immigrant who
deals drugs to get by. Trouble begins after Baran loses his low
profile status because the kebab-stand owner's daughter sets her
sights on him. 97 min.

Made in France (Origine Contrôlée) (France, 2001)
Directed by Ahmed Bouchaala and Zakia Tahri. Cast: Patrick Ligardes,
Ronit Elkabets, Isabelle Sadoyan, Atmen Kelif. Fancy Patrick is
arrested by mistake and finds himself in a cell with Samia, an
attractive Algerian, and Youssef, a cantankerous show off. All three
are condemned to deportation. During their transfer to the airport,
they manage to escape. When they are on the run the trio discover a
taste for the unusual and learn to understand and love each other.

Re: [Videolib] Purpose of listserv

Hi

The purpose of the list is broad:

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of
issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition, bibliographic
control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in
libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve
as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of
communication between libraries, educational institutions, and video
producers and distributors.

The primary focus of the discussion supported by this list will be on
video collection, access, and use. Examples of discussion topics include:
copyright and intellectual property issues; evaluations of materials;
collection development policy issues; selection methodology; acquisition
concerns (locating hard-to-find materials, library/vendor relations,
etc.), issues related to evolving video technologies and libraries.
Discussions regarding video hardware and the specifics of video technology
are not generally encouraged. Discussions which are merely recreational in
nature are also firmly discouraged Such discussions include protracted
conversations regarding favorite films, movie trivia, and fan
correspondence.


I think that, for the most part, we've pretty much stuck to those
parameters.  Copyright is a big area of discussion, obviously, and I think
that it's an important area of concern and discourse.  It can be a
contentious subject (also obviously) because of the differing views of
stake holders and the fact that there's currently much open to
interpretation in the letter and applications of the laws.  I fully expect
copyright and fair use to be a front-and-center issues for media (and
other) librarians for a long time to come as the media universe continues
to evolve and shift.

This is a working list, which means most of what is discussed can and
should be directly (or even indirectly) useful to the practice of media
librarianship.  As with any listserv, endless conjecture, fruitless
banter, pointless argument (particularly argument with no clear or
immediate resolution) all run counter to the spirit and nature of the
list.

Videolib is an unmoderated list, which means subscribers can pretty much
post what they want.  I have only once in the 15 year history of this list
had to exercise my prerogative as list manager in ending a discussion or
bumping a subscriber. It's not something I did not do (and would not do
again) lightly because I strongly believe in keeping this an open,
democratic, and lively forum.  On the other hand, I have a definite stake
in making sure the list remains civil, supple, productive, and relevant to
the subscribers.

It is my sincere hope that we can stay on track, move forward, and live up
to the stated goals and intent of the list.

Re: [Videolib] Copyright Issues for D2L/Online Learners

2012-02-27 Thread ghandman

Take your questions to ARL, Jessica.  Or take them to Pat Aufderheide and
her group.  Most of us were not involved in developing the recent
guidelines. Furthermore, most of us have very little control over what
goes on in the broader administration of institutions in which we work
(many times despite concerted efforts to work with administrators and
faculty on significant intellectual property issues).

It is positively not productive to endlessly spar on this list.

While I think continuing civil discourse about these issues is definitely
in order and welcomed, this list is in danger of becoming one endless
copyright and fair use slug-fest.  I've received a number of off-list
notes of concern about this and, more disconcertingly, I notice a definite
increase in the number of unsubscribe requests lately. As moderator (and
originator) of the list, I really can't allow that to happen.  There's
much too much other work, and too many other issues to tackle.

The issues we've been batting around will eventually be settled by case
law, or by the testing and defining of fair use applications in other
legal arenas.  It is clear to me that the various sides of these issues
have been more than thoroughly aired, and, at this point, unless there are
really sage and unique insights to be had, all we're doing is spinning
wheels.

Again, unless I hear from members of this list that they have an
overriding need to hear these issues and complaints beaten to a bloody
pulp,  we need to move on, and I need to make that happen one way or the
other.

Hi Mike

Well...you've asked a question that gets at an argument that has probably
garnered four or five hundred posts on this list (and others as well) in
the last few years alone.  The answer is hotly debated, to say the least,
and is currently being tested in courts:  UCLA vs Association for Media
Information and Equipment (AIME)...

There are, in other words, no easy or definite answers.  Take a look at
the videolib archive and search under the keywords UCLA, ARL (which has
developed a controversial set of Fair Use Best Practices) and you'll get a
sampling of the conversations regarding your question.

videolib archive is at:

Re: [Videolib] Video at Risk's Relationship to new ARL Code of Best Practices

That's three copies, Dennis..cf 108.b and 108c

and secondly...we seem to be conflating issues of fair use with Section
108.  These are not the same thing...  and we are not advocating disregard
for the provisions of this section.

and I agree we need to tone it down a notch.

 Hi Debra

 Berkeley is a principle partner in this project (along with NYU).  A
 significant part of the project will be identifying materials in
 collections which are eligible for reformatting, primarily under the
 provisions of Section 108, but possibly under the mantle of fair use,
 as
 well.

 None of us on the project have had contact with the developers of the
 ARL
 code (to my knowledge).

Jessica, don't make me come over there and...

What makes you think we're gonna be perfunctory in doing due diligence?
Yes...we have developed a fairly elaborate template which takes a search
thru thorough online searches in a number of databases; vendor sites;
contacting producer and/or director (including LinkedIn and Facebook
searches); copyright office searches...more

The films we're dealing with are all non-theatrical...

We are largely invoking provisions of Section 108 (not fair use--although
fair use could come into play)

Keep calm and carry on.

Re: [Videolib] Video at Risk's Relationship to new ARL Code of Best Practices

The project runs thru June--i.e. the second phase, which will produce
lists of materials identified as possible 108 candidates in the
collections of the partner insitutions (NYU/Avery Fisher; UCB MRC; and
Loyola University in New Orleans)...  (The last phase is to develop an RFP
that defines parameters and requirements for digitization, and then
finally doing the actual digitization, either in-house(s) or outsourced)

The formal reporting on the project in the library/archive lit will
probably take a lng time to get out there.  On the other hand, I'd be
glad to share Berkeley's list with videolib when we pull it together.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
