Re: [Videolib] Academic Libraries Add Netflix Subscriptions

[Ball, James (jmb4aw)]

This is interesting because I've seen a few items in our collection that, 
rather than being purchased outright, were listed as "lease for life."  It's 
just like a purchase in that we paid for it once and we can keep it forever, 
but now I wonder if that kind of transaction changes what we can do with it.  
That is, if we don't own it do some aspects of copyright law not apply?

Cheers,

Matt

First Sale has to do with commercial property transfer exclusively, I
think.  In other words, it has to do with the rights of legal buyers.  The
NetFlix transaction is a rental--a temporary "lease"?--and is, I would
imagine, a different can o' worms.  But then again, I'm in no way
positive.

[Videolib] Seeking duplication permission for NET program "Free at Last"

[Lyndon C. McCurdy]

We have a 16mm print of "Free at Last," from the "History of the Negro People" 
series produced by National Educational Television. A faculty member uses the 
print twice a year and has requested that we copy the film to DVD. I've 
searched but cannot find who might have the rights to the series. Any help 
would be appreciated.

Re: [Videolib] Seeking duplication permission for NET program "Free at Last"

[ghandman]

Hi Lyn

If you acquired the 16mm prints legally, you're mostly likely covered for
transfer to DVD (or other formats)under Section 108 of the copyright law. 
The issue remains:  108 stipulates that the duplicated/transferred copy be
used within the library building...my personal approach to this
stipulation has been--as someone on this list called it--"civil
disobedience."  It makes no sense at all to be able to circulate the
fragile copy and not the more robust transfer copy.  I opt for the latter
in most instances.  It's your call.

Re: [Videolib] Academic Libraries Add Netflix Subscriptions

[ghandman]

Technically, no one really "owns" a purchased copy of a piece of media,
ever. You acquire the piece with certain rights and/or stipulations (right
to screen or view it in certain contexts, etc. etc.)  Most purchase
transactions are implicitly or explicitly contractual and for the life of
the physical piece being purchased.  (Streamed media is a whole different
kettle of fish, and most digital licenses reflect this fact).

Unless the purchase contract for a film, tape, or DVD specifically states
otherwise, the First Sale Doctrine allows a purchaser to resell, rent,
loan, or otherwise transfer the physical piece to another individual or
group for the life of the physical piece.

Re: [Videolib] Seeking duplication permission for NET program "Free at Last"

[Dennis Doros]

Dear Lyn,

Is this the documentary on Martin Luther King that followed his last few
months before he was shot? (I just ran to storage to find my video tape, but
it wasn't where I expected it to be and I'm just too busy too forage, sorry
to say.) If so, I screened it back in the 1980s. At that time, it was being
represented by the director. If you give me more information, I can perhaps
check my notes.

Best,
Dennis

Re: [Videolib] Academic Libraries Add Netflix Subscriptions

[Jessica Rosner]

Actually there is no indication 108 would apply at all. I see no indication
 the film is on death's door, merely that the Prof doesn't want to be
bothered screening it on 16mm ( which is definitely NOT a dead format)
As for what do to if it did in fact qualify, as usual I find your "civil
disobedience " claim a bit disingenuous. It is pretty much the same (though
on a lower level) as schools or professors who claim they can dupe anything
they want, stream anything they want etc because as educators copyright law
really should not apply or at least restrict them. The section you often
quote in 108 is very, very clearly set up for archival purposes and not to
keep an item in circulation. It remains a very  slippery slope from I need
to transfer my old VHS because I can't replace it, to I need to digitize and
stream everything in the collection to make it easier to access. I suspect
some issues will come to a head soon with the UCLA case.

[Videolib] Who pulled the plug on University of Minnesota's "Troubled Waters"?

[elizabeth mcmahon]

Troubled Waters: A Mississippi River Story has been nearly four years in the 
making. A team of researchers, filmmakers, and scientists have been up and down 
the Mississippi River, knee deep in swamps and icy waters, and elbow deep in 
footage and research. The film, by the U of M's Bell Museum of Natural History, 
focuses on agriculture, pollution, and sustainable solutions. Now, suddenly, 
its premiere has been canceled, and no one can say exactly why.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming Video

[Deg Farrelly]

Other factors in the acquisition and use of streaming video are the extent of 
distance, hybrid, and online instruction, and the number of copies that might 
be needed to meet demand.

We have 4 campuses, each with their own library, but a common budget.  Some 
titles are so heavily used that even with a booking/reservation system we have 
had to purchase multiple copies, sometimes multiple copies for each library.  
Streaming videos resolve that need. ASU is aggressively developing online 
courses ("the 5th campus") for which streaming media is essential.

We have (at present) no capability to host content, so the subscription 
services are a real boon to us.  We have the FMG Films on Demand collection 
(after a year of a patron-driven acquisition model), shared with the Univ of AZ 
and Northern AZ Univ.  Use of that collection is very high with per use cost 
being very very low.   We also most of the Alexander Street Press Critical 
Video editions, which we were able to acquire in perpetuity with end-of-year 
funds.  Sorry I don't have use data on those collections right now.

These large collections add value by providing features that would be 
cumbersome and/or expensive to implement on a title-by-title basis.  The ASP 
titles all have transcripts that display adjacent to the video display and 
beautifully track with the audio.  This is an important feature for making the 
content ADA accessible.  FMG titles also have closed captioning, and all FMG 
titles are subdivided into individual segments (chapters) each with a separate 
short summary and persistent link to the segment.  This makes them 
exceptionally easy to plug into a syllabus or Blackboard shell.

Another point about large collections, is the "long tail".  This is a concept 
usually discussed in the context of journal packages.  It refers to titles that 
receive very little use, but appear in a  large collection.  Individually these 
titles may not have been selected for the library's collection.  But users 
found them, and used them.

For all these materials the discovery tool that the library/vendor provides is 
critical.  Ideally, I would like MARC records in the catalog for all the titles 
in these collections.  But we are not going to catalog content we do not own, 
and vendors are moving slowly towards providing those records.  BUT it is 
improving.  We have pseudo (simplified) MARC records for most of the FMG 
content, and I've heard that FMG now has full MARC records.  Alexander Street 
Press is moving towards MARC records, but they are also working with SUMMON, 
the integrated discovery tool, that we use.

As content becomes discoverable, and easier to find, users will go to it.  ("If 
you build it, they will come")

By the way, we also have content through Ambrose Digital, but those are

We have the Theatre and Dance collections purchased and they are used quite a 
bit. We lease American History in Video and it's also very popular.  It's a bit 
dependent on, I would guess, the depth of your hard copy collection.

Re: [Videolib] Request to Vendor for Streaming Rights

[Jessica Rosner]

Well the main thing is finding who OWNS those rights. I can't recall but I
believe this was distributed by Disney. However it is 9 years old and since
it was on outside acquisition their rights may have expired. First thing is
check who opened it theatrically in the US, also find out if it is currently
in print on DVD and on what label. Basically if it is Disney, than Swank
should have it, if not good chance it has reverted back to owners in Japan.
Company has a funny name I am too tired to look up but something like studio
gigli. You would need to contact them.

Good luck. The majority of foreign films are a bitch.

No court in the land that wouldn't accept 108 as applicable, Jessica. 
Let's face it, 16mm, if not obsolete, is increasingly arcane and unusable
in most teaching contexts.  I'm totally with you on knee-jerk conversions

Re: [Videolib] FW: Cold War/Atomic History

[Elizabeth Stanley]

Hello, Rick Sayre,
 
Bullfrog Films offers Nuclear Dynamite DVD, a unique documentary that
investigates American and Soviet plans to use nuclear explosives for
"geographical engineering."
The DVD is available in two versions, 72 and 52 minutes.
 
Check the link to our web description here:
http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/nd.html
 
"Absorbing docu digs up declassified footage to explore a threat that
ran quietly alongside the Cold War weapons race.  The expertly assembled
"Nuclear Dynamite" looks back on 30 years, now almost forgotten, in
which the U.S. and the Soviet Union competed to find the most dramatic
peacetime use of atomic explosions." Variety
 
"Important and timely, 'Nuclear Dynamite' recalls a fast-fading epoch of
the world's nuclear history.  Together with the documentary 'Atomic
Cafe', on the government propaganda and popular culture of the early
nuclear age, and such commercial films as 'The Day the Earth Stood
Still', 'On the Beach', and 'Dr. Strangelove', it would wonderfully
enrich courses on postwar America or on the nuclear era...Highly
recommended." The Journal of American History

Thought I'd pass this one on to the collective wisdom of the video-lib
group.  I have a faculty member looking for film suggestions on the
following topic:

 

Subject: Cold War/Atomic History

Is anyone aware of a good 1-2 hour film on early Cold War history and
politics?  I'd like to give my ILA [i.e., freshman seminar] class some
more insight on the tensions surrounding the late 40's and early 50's.
I'd also be open to popular films which really come out of the fear of
communism and soviet aggression.  

 

Thanks in advance!

Re: [Videolib] Academic Libraries Add Netflix Subscriptions

[Dennis Doros]

Dearest Gary,

This is where I have to jump in. As a matter of fact, the interest in, and
study of, small gauge films (8mm, Super 8mm, 9.5, 16, 17.5, 28, etc) is
probably the biggest and best trend in film studies this past decade, thanks
to Alan Berliner, Rick Prelinger and the Center for Home Movies folk (among
others). There is a ton of young students buying the equipment and staging
screenings and installations around the country. The Medical Film Symposium
in Philadelphia this January had an amazing exhibit. See
here.
I couldn't attend but people said it was fantastic to see all sixteen
projectors going at once all over the circular room and ceiling (including
the use of mirror balls). Warning: If you watch the link, these ARE medical
films.

And at just about archive conference, the "kids" are showing their own small
gauge films (yes, projected) and their favorites from their archives.

16mm projectors are bulky, annoying to maintain (though fairly easy) and I
do admit arcane and unusable in most teaching contexts if for no other
reason than professors with three or four degrees seem to be afraid of
simple machinery. But we old folk are seeing it from the wrong end of the
telescope these days. We've BEEN there and DONE that (and I have four 16mm
projectors still) and thank video for ending those days. The young see it
much differently.

And anyway, FREE AT LAST is owned and finding the director to get permission
might be a little difficult but worth it in terms of legal *and* ethical
standards. Even if you fail to find him, you've done due diligence.

Best,
Dennis

Re: [Videolib] Academic Libraries Add Netflix Subscriptions

[ghandman]

All good points, Dennis...I adore 16mm (and 35 and 70...)

However:

Consider this:  UC Berkeley, one of the premiere educational institutions
in the world, does not have a single, working 16mm projector on campus
(the PFA doesn't count...they're a world unto their own).
I'm sure I'm not alone.

For institutions that  vestigal collections of non-theatrical 16mm,  the
options are often try to re-buy (which is almost NEVER possible, given the
age of most of these) or saying, "Sorry!" and letter the 16mm rot stew in
vinegar.

We ain't talking about film studies here, really...

[Videolib] Streaming Video

[Benjamin Turner]

Dear Colleagues,

 

I was wondering if you could share your experiences with streaming
video, such as Alexander Street Press. I am interested in matters such
as the following:

 

*   Are such services well used by students and faculty members?
*   Do you purchase streaming videos outright, or do you lease them,
or a combination of both?
*   How do you promote streaming videos, if at all?
*   Would you recommend other libraries purchasing such
subscriptions?

 

Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

 

Sincerely,

Benjamin Turner

Re: [Videolib] Academic Libraries Add Netflix Subscriptions

[Jessica Rosner]

If anyone is interested I would happy to supply names and contacts of people
around the country who sell & fix 16mm  equipment. It may well be a budget,
storage & convenience issue , but 16mm is most definitely not dead by any
legal or practical definition. I regularly attend festivals where it is
either the only or the dominant format and this is for old films.

[Videolib] Video Selection: Subject Selector or Media Specialist?

Dear Colleagues,

 

At your institutions, is DVD and Video selection the responsibility of
subject specialists, or primarily the responsibility of a media

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming Video

[Shoaf,Judith P]

I really like this philosophy. As a user of journals, it makes sense to me. 

Also thanks for highlights of the advantages of the streamed video.

Judy

-Original Message-


Another point about large collections, is the "long tail".  This is a concept 
usually discussed in the context of journal packages.  It refers to titles that 
receive very little use, but appear in a  large collection.  Individually these 
titles may not have been selected for the library's collection.  But users 
found them, and used them.

For all these materials the discovery tool that the library/vendor provides is 
critical.  Ideally, I would like MARC records in the catalog for all the titles 
in these collections.  But we are not going to catalog content we do not own, 
and vendors are moving slowly towards providing those records.  BUT it is 
improving.  We have pseudo (simplified) MARC records for most of the FMG 
content, and I've heard that FMG now has full MARC records.  Alexander Street 
Press is moving towards MARC records, but they are also working with SUMMON, 
the integrated discovery tool, that we use.

As content becomes discoverable, and easier to find, users will go to it.  ("If 
you build it, they will come")

By the way, we also have content through Ambrose Digital, but those are 
individual purchases.

Hope this info helps.

At our library we have librarians who are also subject bibliographers,
and they are responsible for selecting materials in their subject
areas. They also serve as liaisons to the departments on campus and
work with the faculty to acquire items needed for their research and
for their students use in their studies.

Re: [Videolib] Video Selection: Subject Selector or Media Specialist?

[ghandman]

Hi Ben...you ARE a curious guy

At UCB I'm the primary selector for video across disciplines.  I have my
own budget, which serves all disciplines.

Occasionally, other subject selectors will request a title (generally
something requested of them by their faculty)...often they pay and we
house it in MRC (our Environmental Design/Architecture; Anthropology; and
SSE Asia bibliographers are the most vigorous in this respect).

Re: [Videolib] Video Selection: Subject Selector or MediaSpecialist?

[Hooper, Lisa K]

Similar situation here. I collection media for all disciplines on the
uptown campus even though I am a bibliographer only for the music and
communication departments. I also solicit suggestions from the other
subject librarians/bibliographers both for titles and for subject areas
they would like to see more of in our film collection. Some take a much
more interactive role in this than others so I work to meet their
requests and select on my own initiative areas that are not being
represented in the librarian and faculty requests.

They also serve as liaisons to the departments on campus and work with

I am the primary media selector for the Library, but all the selectors are
free to select and purchase media off their subject funds. Currently, the
media budget is apportioned out of the Undergraduate Library's budget -- the
media collection is housed in the Undergrad, but serves the entire campus.

(I'm working on developing some closer connections with the subject
selectors, and would love ot hear from folks who have been in similar
situations)

University of Calgary Library,  so I acquire print and media materials 
for my subject areas as well as manage/coordinate the interdisciplinary 
media collection and staff.


I have an interdisciplinary video collections fund which is used mainly 
to acquire titles suggested by teaching faculty for classroom use either 
by submissions directly to my unit or submitted via other 
liaison/subject librarians to my unit.  All of us liaison/subject 
librarians can also submit requests to this interdisciplinary fund 
however this accounts for a minority of the requests.  Any titles 
acquired with the interdisciplinary fund must be housed in our main 
video collection.


In addition, subject librarians can and do sometimes order videos from 
their own library subject funds, new faculty library collection funds, 
or sometimes teaching faculty grants.  Videos funded from other funds 
are still ordered in our unit (where the video ordering and PPR 
expertise lies) however can be housed in the requestor's branch library 
or other library location.


Towards the end of a fiscal year when there is money left in the 
interdisciplinary video fund, I often confer selectively with subject 
librarians on titles to spend out the remaining funds. And yes, some 
subject librarians are more proactive in requesting videos for the 
collection than others.


We verify that video titles are not available in our vendor-hosted 
streaming video collections before acquiring on DVD.  We don't yet have 
our own streaming video server and process.


Streaming video collections are acquired through separate centralized 
funds collaboratively between myself and a Collections librarian.

Dear Colleagues,

At your institutions, is DVD and Video selection the responsibility of 
subject specialists, or primarily the responsibility of a media

Thank you very much for your feedback.

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

between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and

Re: [Videolib] Video Selection: Subject Selector or Media Specialist?

[Susan Weber]

Media librarians do the media selection, along with faculty requests.
All librarians do print in their subject areas. Only media librarians
do media and print.
Therefore, print liaison librarians refer media questions and issues
and requests to the media librarian 
designated for their subject area.

It was attempted that subject librarians do both print and media. It
was unsuccessful, as media knowledge
is a specialty that not all had the time or inclination to acquire. Let
the specialists do their job.
