[Videolib] disc storage devices
We've been using the Imation Stakka disc storage devices for storing our circulating DVDs, and they are a constant headache. It seems they're not really capable of handling the volume of use they get here. On reading customer reviews of other comparable devices, it looks like they all have the same issues when put to that kind of use. Our space is very limited, so we need to find an alternative besides having every DVD on the shelf in its case. I'm interested in any solutions list members have found-high or low tech.

Re: [Videolib] disc storage devices
Tom, we also elected to remove discs from their cases so that we could have better theft protection while still keeping the original DVD cases out in the stacks for browsing. We simply invested in a sturdy, multi-drawer cabinet which holds inexpensive slim disc cases like these: http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=24943catid=800 . The original DVD cases have a label inside with the disc number, which is also written on the center ring label on the disc itself and added to the record during cataloging. It's low-tech but has worked beautifully for us.

Re: [Videolib] UCLA Case
Randal--well, you asked me a question and then sort of gave the answer I would give. I am not dealing with this kind of situation myself, so whether I am OK with a 50 sec. clip is not relevant. It looks, though, as if the librarians have given it some thought and believe the 50 sec. clip is fair use. I gather that a 78 rpm disc could not hold much more than 3 minutes/side (I recall that Soliloquy from Carousel required 2 sides), while a 45 could hold up to 5 min/side. If the songs were performed to maximize disc length, presumably 50 sec = about 30% of a 78 (more likely to be PD) or 20% of a 45. The librarians may have felt precisely that 50 sec is enough to help researchers identify what they want to hear but a small enough clip not to replace the market value of the whole song. --Judy I'm engaging here, not challenging, trying not to be my usual glib self. So, Judy, you're OK with the 50 sec. clip aspect of this collection, I take it, even for non-PD recordings? Those orphans, etc.? The rest of it, including full renditions, is available to legitimate UCLA users, and I imagine anyone who wanted to be working on the material in depth would want to be in the collection itself, as you point out. re: Strachwitz/Frontera. The 50 sec. clip combined with the label views of each record, and the indexing, is compelling for research at a distance.

Re: [Videolib] UCLA Case
Nice explanation -- musicologimetrics on that one. That makes sense, it's enough time to hear the tune and maybe get to the bridge. Those percentages work out, I hadn't considered the clip time as a percentage and was wondering why 50 rather than 30?

[Videolib] Bill introduced to make streaming a criminal offense...
Don't know how this slipped under our radar, but one of my esteemed Senators, Amy Klobuchar, has introduced a bill amending Copyright Act by making public performance of [infringed] media a criminal offense, in addition to the current civil penalties. There are provisions within the amendment that would especially apply to electronic contexts. The intent of my post is not to stoke flames on the UCLA thread, but rather implications for further erosion of fair use/rights holders protections, depending on perspective.

That one was a mess for years. I know Jack Nicholson is at least a part owner. Best thing to track any title down is to start with the company that has it out in home video.
