Re: [Videolib] record management
Rhonda, Our library also uses Innovative and our Technical Services Dept. (Acquisitions) archives one-time purchase order records every 12-16 months, once all reports have been run that are needed. We can go into the Archives if we have to retrieve information, but to my understanding, this archiving frees up those order records and 'replenishes' the number of order records we have to use. If you need more details, let me know, and I can refer you to our T.S. Dept.

Re: [Videolib] adios vhs?
Gary, I'm doing basically the same thing with our VHS collection for space reasons. For now I'm focusing on feature films that have newer and better transfers on DVD and titles for which we have multiple copies and/or access options, such as the BBC Shakespeare series. If a title is used a lot for classes (such as CITIZEN KANE), I think it's better to go ahead and get an additional copy on DVD rather than rely on the VHS tape as a fallback. For me, one additional reason for doing this is that we want to reduce wear and tear on our existing VHS players since decent replacement equipment is getting hard to come by. It's better focus use of the VHS players on content that's absolutely not available on DVD. --James -- James M.

Letting go is hard, but also necessary when space is a premium. I first encountered this format dilemma when CDs came into being and I de-accessioned my LP collection, except for a special jazz gift collection. I felt sentimental about these materials, and we had lots of turntables set up for playback. Shelving space was the prime motivating factor, the new digital world another. It was a long process-some LPS got sold to collectors, some got traded for used CDs, those in bad condition were discarded, and others were donated to the Boston Public Library, which had lost many recordings in a flood. I had anxieties about this, so consulted with music faculty, who even took some. Over time, I replaced the ones most needed for classes and then streaming music databases came into being to help augment the collection. With respect to video, most faculty at Northeastern prefer DVD, particularly for cinema studies classes. As we are also experiencing a space crunch here, (now that the collection is in open stacks) I will be de-accessioning VHS that we have in DVD and selecting DVDS to replace VHS. A special fund is being made available for this. I see no compelling reason to have both a VHS and a DVD copy at this stage. If you have concerns, consult some faculty about particular titles they may want to continue to use in VHS in the classroom or for research. I also sometimes use reserve records to help me make decisions about priorities. I would love to hear other viewpoints about this.

Re: [Videolib] Chaplin film with score?
Trust me ALL legit releases of Chaplin films include his score and the WB is the legit version ( Film is out of copyright but this is authorized version) The estate is VERY protective of the scores and does not allow the films to be shown or released on DVD without the original scores. The Chaplin films are now being distributed through Criterion/Janus which is also releasing them on DVD. Since I don't believe they have gotten to THE KID yet, they would basically have to license you the WB DVD. Let me know if you have any problem and I can give you direct contact at the estate.

Finding humor in the extreme harshness of the Tramp's impoverished existence with his plucky adopted foundling, Chaplin turns the pair's survival into a series of comic set pieces depicting such events as their scheme to sell windows and their daily breakfast rituals. Coordinated in their movements and well-matched in their temperaments, the Tramp and the Kid are the perfect pair, underlining the potential for tragedy when the child welfare authorities step in. Still, having revealed the Tramp's paternal devotion in a bravura chase scene and a whimsical dream sequence, Chaplin reunites the redefined family for a happy ending. Chaplin overcame First National's resistance to his desire to make a dramatic comedy, and he wrote, directed, and starred in a major success. Shot over nine months and accompanied by a score composed by Chaplin himself, The Kid became an critically hailed international hit, launching Jackie Coogan as a major child star. With a blend of social realism and finely tuned physical comedy, Chaplin infuses The Kid with a pathos and sweetness that would later mark one of his greatest features, City Lights (1931). The Kid was Charles Chaplin's first self-produced and directed feature film; 1914's 6-reel Tillie's Punctured Romance was a Mack Sennett production in which Chaplin merely co-starred. The story with a smile and perhaps a tear, begins with unwed mother Edna Purviance leaving the Charity Hospital, babe in arms. Her burden is illustrated with a title card showing Christ bearing the cross. The father of the child is a poor artist who cares little for of his former lover, carelessly knocking her photo into his garret fireplace and cooly returning it there when he sees it is too badly damaged to keep. The mother sorrowfully leaves her baby in the back seat of a millionaire's limousine, with a note imploring whoever finds it to care for and love the child. But thieves steal the limo, and, upon discovering the baby, ditch the tot in an alleyway trash can. Enter Chaplin, out for his morning stroll, carefully selecting a choice cigarette butt from his well used tin. He stumbles upon the squalling infant and, after trying to palm it off on a lady with another baby in a carriage, decides to adopt the kid himself. Meanwhile Purviance has relented, but when she returns to the mansion and is told that the car has been stolen, she collapses in despair. Chaplin outfits his flat for the baby as best he can, using an old coffee pot with a nipple on the spout as a baby bottle and a cane chair with the seat cut out as a potty seat. Chaplin's attic apartment is a representation of the garret he had shared with his mother and brother in London, just as the slum neighborhood is a recreation of the ones he knew as a boy. Five years later, Chaplin has become a glazier, while his adopted son (the remarkable Jackie Coogan) drums up business for his old man by cheerfully breaking windows in the neighborhood. Purviance meanwhile has become a world famous opera singer, still haunted by the memory of her child, who does charity work in the very slums in which he now lives. Ironically, she gives a toy dog to little Coogan. Chaplin and Coogan's close calls with the law and fights with street toughs are easily overcome, but when Coogan falls ill, the attending doctor learns of the illegal adoption and summons the Orphan Asylum social workers who try to separate Chaplin from his foster son. In one of the most moving scenes in all of Chaplin's films, Chaplin and Coogan try to fight the officials, but Chaplin is subdued by the cop they have summoned. Coogan is roughly thrown into the back of the Asylum van, pleading to the welfare official and

Finding humor in the extreme harshness of the Tramp's impoverished existence with his plucky adopted foundling, Chaplin turns the pair's survival into a series of comic set pieces depicting such events as their scheme to sell windows and their daily breakfast rituals. Coordinated in their movements and well-matched in their temperaments, the Tramp and the Kid are the perfect pair, underlining the potential for tragedy when the child welfare authorities step in. Still, having revealed the Tramp's paternal devotion in a bravura chase scene and a whimsical dream sequence, Chaplin reunites the redefined family for a happy ending. Chaplin overcame First National's resistance to his desire to make a dramatic comedy, and he wrote, directed, and starred in a major success. Shot over nine months and accompanied by a score composed by Chaplin himself, The Kid became an critically hailed international hit, launching Jackie Coogan as a major child star. With a blend of social realism and finely tuned physical comedy, Chaplin infuses The Kid with a pathos and sweetness that would later mark one of his greatest features, City Lights (1931). The Kid was Charles Chaplin's first self-produced and directed feature film; 1914's 6-reel Tillie's Punctured Romance was a Mack Sennett production in which Chaplin merely co-starred. The story with a smile and perhaps a tear, begins with unwed mother Edna Purviance leaving the Charity Hospital, babe in arms. Her burden is illustrated with a title card showing Christ bearing the cross. The father of the child is a poor artist who cares little for of his former lover, carelessly knocking her photo into his garret fireplace and cooly returning it there when he sees it is too badly damaged to keep. The mother sorrowfully leaves her baby in the back seat of a millionaire's limousine, with a note imploring whoever finds it to care for and love the child. But thieves steal the limo, and, upon discovering the baby, ditch the tot in an alleyway trash can. Enter Chaplin, out for his morning stroll, carefully selecting a choice cigarette butt from his well used tin. He stumbles upon the squalling infant and, after trying to palm it off on a lady with another baby in a carriage, decides to adopt the kid himself. Meanwhile Purviance has relented, but when she returns to the mansion and is told that the car has been stolen, she collapses in despair. Chaplin outfits his flat for the baby as best he can, using an old coffee pot with a nipple on the spout as a baby bottle and a cane chair with the seat cut out as a potty seat. Chaplin's attic apartment is a representation of the garret he had shared with his mother and brother in London, just as the slum neighborhood is a recreation of the ones he knew as a boy. Five years later, Chaplin has become a glazier, while his adopted son (the remarkable Jackie Coogan) drums up business for his old man by cheerfully breaking windows in the neighborhood. Purviance meanwhile has become a world famous opera singer, still haunted by the memory of her child, who does charity work in the very slums in which he now lives. Ironically, she gives a toy dog to little Coogan. Chaplin and Coogan's close calls with the law and fights with street toughs are easily overcome, but when Coogan falls ill, the attending doctor learns of the illegal adoption and summons the Orphan Asylum social workers who try to separate Chaplin from his foster son. In one of the most moving scenes in all of Chaplin's films, Chaplin and Coogan try to fight the officials, but Chaplin is subdued by the cop they have summoned. Coogan is roughly thrown into the back of the Asylum van, pleading to the welfare official and to God not to be separated from his father. Chaplin, freeing himself from the cop, pursues the orphanage van over the rooftops and, descending
Re: [Videolib] Two unrelated questions - copyright and phonograph records
I know we always fight over this Gary , but I don't think it is counter-intuitive at all. It is annoying and very inconvenient. This provision is to allow material to be preserved for research, it is not a free pass to upgrade to a much better easier format. It is no different from the idea that you could not chain all your 16mm films to VHS or digitize stream all your DVDs ( or VHS). Formats are always the property of the rights holder. I know you are an honest person who tries to do the right thing, but if libraries just transferred all their VHS to DVD, it would pretty much kill any chance of a company spending the money to make a legit copy available and in some cases it already has.

Re: [Videolib] Two unrelated questions - copyright and phonograph records
It is not a preservation copy. It is a replacement copy. Preservation copies are only copies of unpublished (generally unique) materials. The law is very clear about this and there are different criteria for replacement versus preservation. Using the wrong terms really confuses things. Unfortunately, this error is a wide spread one.

[Videolib] multicultural film series on the them of Veteran
I wonder if I could enlist the help of folks on this project?: 1. A colleague of mine in multicultural counseling studies is trying to find a documentary film concerning an Iraq War vet trying to understand Islam. It is not the film of US military guard Terry Holdbrooks, who converted to Islam. It is another related story, about an American Iraqi War vet and Iraqi-American community college student meeting and working through their issues and differences. Any help would be appreciated. I seem to be striking out with a Google-fail brain freeze. 2. Said colleague would like to use this story as a kind of thematic lead for a series of 5-6 films on the theme of Veteran/Veterans. In this context I think veteran can be widely interpreted, from something *about* veterans, in the sense of Coming Home perhaps (not a documentary, I realize) to videos more conceptual in approach. Veterans of immigration conflicts, for instance. If any of you have some suggestions I would greatly appreciate any serious tips. If any of you have some recent productions that might fit, that would be of interest also.

Sincerely at your service, Jay Sonin, General Manager The Kid (Full Frame, Black White) Starring: Charles Chaplin, Jackie Coogan, Edna Purviance, Carl Miller, Tom Wilson Release Date: 4/22/2008 UPC: 882012000274 Director: Charles Chaplin Genre: Melodrama, Slapstick Run Time: 67 Flags: Excellent For Children Distributor/Studio: A2Zcds Inc 200027 Charles Chaplin's first feature-length film pairs his Tramp character with an orphan boy, forging a life together in a slum reminiscent of Chaplin's childhood London home. Finding humor in the extreme harshness of the Tramp's impoverished existence with his plucky adopted foundling, Chaplin turns the pair's survival into a series of comic set pieces depicting such events as their scheme to sell windows and their daily breakfast rituals. Coordinated in their movements and well-matched in their temperaments, the Tramp and the Kid are the perfect pair, underlining the potential for tragedy when the child welfare authorities step in. Still, having revealed the Tramp's paternal devotion in a bravura chase scene and a whimsical dream sequence, Chaplin reunites the redefined family for a happy ending. Chaplin overcame First National's resistance to his desire to make a dramatic comedy, and he wrote, directed, and starred in a major success. Shot over nine months and accompanied by a score composed by Chaplin himself, The Kid became an critically hailed international hit, launching Jackie Coogan as a major child star. With a blend of social realism and finely tuned physical comedy, Chaplin infuses The Kid with a pathos and sweetness that would later mark one of his greatest features, City Lights (1931). The Kid was Charles Chaplin's first self-produced and directed feature film; 1914's 6-reel Tillie's Punctured Romance was a Mack Sennett production in which Chaplin merely co-starred. The story with a smile and perhaps a tear, begins with unwed mother Edna Purviance leaving the Charity Hospital, babe in arms. Her burden is illustrated with a title card showing Christ bearing the cross. The father of the child is a poor artist who cares little for of his former lover, carelessly knocking her photo into his garret fireplace and cooly returning it there when he sees it is too badly damaged to keep. The mother sorrowfully leaves her baby in the back seat of a millionaire's limousine, with a note imploring whoever finds it to care for and love the child. But thieves steal the limo, and, upon discovering the baby, ditch the tot in an alleyway trash can. Enter Chaplin, out for his morning stroll, carefully selecting a choice cigarette butt from his well used tin. He stumbles upon the squalling infant and, after trying to palm it off on a lady with another baby in a carriage, decides to adopt the kid himself. Meanwhile Purviance has relented, but when she returns to the mansion and is told that the car has been stolen, she collapses in despair. Chaplin outfits his flat for the baby as best he can, using an old coffee pot with a nipple on the spout as a baby bottle and a cane chair with the seat cut out as a potty seat. Chaplin's attic apartment is a representation of the garret he had shared with his mother and brother in

Re: [Videolib] Two unrelated questions - copyright and phonograph records
No, any digital copy made from a VHS can not leave the library. Either he can find a space that he can use the VCR or in theory find a room in the library to show the DVD.

I won't go into details but I recently got access to list of the collection of a major institution that was illegally copying material to digital. At least half of the material in the collection were dubs from VHS of titles that had been released on DVD at cheap retail prices.

Re: [Videolib] Resources for teens and early 20's about personalfinance, consumerism, and investing
Hello, Sabra, Bullfrog Films offers two titles you may want to consider. If your library owns the VHS video of Affluenza, you may want to upgrade to the DVD. 1. AFFLUENZA DVD http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/affl.html AFFLUENZA is a groundbreaking film that diagnoses a serious social disease - caused by consumerism, commercialism and rampant materialism - that is having a devastating impact on our families, communities, and the environment. We have more stuff, but less time, and our quality of life seems to be deteriorating. By using personal stories, expert commentary, hilarious old film clips, and uncommercial breaks to illuminate the nature and extent of the disease, AFFLUENZA has appealed to widely diverse audiences: from freshmen orientation programs to consumer credit counseling, and from religious congregations to marketing classes. 2. kids + money DVD http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/kids.html Money talks. Teens in Los Angeles discuss money: getting it, spending it and learning to live without it. Additionally, for a deep and wide list of titles on economics, check out this subject area: http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/subjects/economics.html Call me if you have any questions. Thanks.

Re: [Videolib] Two unrelated questions - copyright and phonograph records
Well that is what I thought. I wish I could give details and some of them were just mind blowing. However the time line is that at least some of the digital versions were clearly made before there was a DVD however no one bothered to spend another $25 or whatever to upgrade.

Either he can find a space that he can use the VCR or in theory find a room in the library to show the DVD. Again I know this sounds stupid, annoying etc, but as a matter of law and in my view fairness it is really not that complicated. I won't go into details but I recently got access to list of the collection of a major institution that was illegally copying material to digital. At least half of the material in the collection were dubs from VHS of titles that had been released on DVD at cheap retail prices. Moreover I knew some of the VHS copies to be poor early transfers Vs excellent new restored DVD copies. I think the librarians and professors who use this are not only breaking the law they are giving the students VERY crappy material to study. I understand virtually everyone on the list believes that they would only make a copy because a title is not available and they would of course buy one as soon it became available but in the real world that does not work, either legally or practically.

Sincerely at your service, Jay Sonin, General Manager The Kid (Full Frame, Black White) Starring: Charles Chaplin, Jackie Coogan, Edna Purviance, Carl Miller, Tom Wilson Release Date: 4/22/2008 UPC: 882012000274 Director: Charles Chaplin Genre: Melodrama, Slapstick Run Time: 67 Flags: Excellent For Children Distributor/Studio: A2Zcds Inc 200027 Charles Chaplin's first feature-length film pairs his Tramp character with an orphan boy, forging a life together in a slum reminiscent of Chaplin's childhood London home. Finding humor in the extreme harshness of the Tramp's impoverished existence with his plucky adopted foundling, Chaplin turns the pair's survival into a series of comic set pieces depicting such events as their scheme to sell windows and their daily breakfast rituals. Coordinated in their movements and well-matched in their temperaments, the Tramp and the Kid are the perfect pair, underlining the potential for tragedy when the child welfare authorities step in. Still, having revealed the Tramp's paternal devotion in a bravura chase scene and a whimsical dream sequence, Chaplin reunites the redefined family for a happy ending. Chaplin overcame First National's resistance to his desire to make a dramatic comedy, and he wrote, directed, and starred in a major success. Shot over nine months and accompanied by a score composed by Chaplin himself, The Kid became an critically hailed international hit, launching Jackie Coogan as a major child star. With a blend of social realism and finely tuned physical comedy, Chaplin infuses The Kid with a pathos and sweetness that would later mark one of his greatest features, City Lights (1931). The Kid was Charles Chaplin's first self-produced and directed feature film; 1914's 6-reel Tillie's Punctured Romance was a Mack Sennett production in which Chaplin merely co-starred. The story with a smile and perhaps a tear, begins with unwed mother Edna Purviance leaving the Charity Hospital, babe in arms. Her burden is illustrated with a title card showing Christ bearing the cross. The father of the child is a poor artist who cares little for of his former lover, carelessly knocking her photo into his garret fireplace and cooly returning it there when he sees it is too badly damaged to keep. The mother sorrowfully leaves her baby in the back seat of a millionaire's limousine, with a note imploring whoever finds it to care for and love the child. But thieves steal
Re: [Videolib] Two unrelated questions - copyright and phonograph records
Thanks to all for weighing in. I understand the in-library-use only, I just wasn't clear about moving from the vhs format that is defective, to a dvd format as a replacement. Jeanne Little On 10/20/2010 3:45 PM, Jessica Rosner wrote: If it was a simple "replacement" the law would not restrict where it can be used. It is a "replacement" in a different format so it is not the same thing. It is an upgrade in a different format and since format changes are the right of the rights owner this "copy" is basically a research copy whose use is severely limited. We agree on the law in any case if not the terminology but the bottom line is if you make a DVD from a VHS it can no longer circulate and must be used on the library premise.
