"The lack of distributor info or release date may mean this is not a 
legal copy."

Hi Jessica,

might be it's illegal...
It's probably an import from Cuba. In the US this title is distributed 
by Kimbara Cine Cubano in Florida
http://www.cinematecacubana.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=247

According to WorldCat most libraries in the US have bought this title on 
DVD from Zafra Video in Mexico (the  New Yorker edition was VHS):
http://www.zafravideo.com/cat_dvd.php?pagina=22&ordenar=titulo

This edition is also available in Switzerland:
http://www.cubanisima.ch/de/film/dvd.cfm?CD=04VE001
As a distributor they indicate the Cuban Film Institute ICAIC which 
might be the contact for public performance rights (?), too.

Is there still an embargo to Cuba in the US?

[Videolib] Blu-ray/DVD combo packs

[Anna Goslen]

Hello,

For those of you who include Blu-rays in your collections, how do you handle 
Blu-ray/DVD combo packs? Do you keep the Blu-ray and the DVD together, or do 
you separate them? Why did you decide to do what you do, and what have you 
found to be the advantages and disadvantages?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Videolib] Blu-ray/DVD combo packs

[Meghann Matwichuk]

Hello Anna,

We (University of Delaware Library) have a small collection of Blurays 
(appx. 100, vs our 10,000+ collection of standard DVDs).  When 
purchasing Blurays, I make sure we also have a separate, standalone 
standard version when possible -- only exceptions so far are those only 
released in the Bluray/DVD combo packs (Tree of Life, Barney's Version, 
Another Earth, etc.)  We do not break up Bluray / DVD combos, and try to 
teach our student desk attendants and patrons to check the Bluray 
records for indications that a standard disc is packaged with it when 
that's the case.  This decision was made primarily due to the 
complications in breaking up a set, in part due to how our items are 
cataloged (Film and Video Collection staff are not able to request 
special handling of our items from Bib. Control).


Our materials are held in a closed stacks environment, and rely on our 
online catalogs to find media.


Advantages:  Because most of our Blurays also exist in our collection as 
standalone standard discs, and most of our 'regulars' know that some 
Blurays are packaged with standard discs, I don't think most patrons who 
do not have Bluray access aren't able to find what they need.  We're 
able to keep the original packaging, and avoid extra use of shelf-space.


Disadvantages:  The obvious -- some patrons do not know that they can 
find standard definition discs by looking closely at our Bluray 
records.  Further complicating this issue, our Library also utilizes 
World Cat Local, and in some instances the records linked to by our Bib 
Control folks do not accurately reflect that the item includes both 
standard and Bluray discs (a title that comes to mind is Super 8).


Hope this is helpful,

*

Re: [Videolib] Blu-ray/DVD combo packs

[Lori Espinoza]

We separate ours into different cases. There are still many of our 
students/faculty/community who do not have a Blu-ray player. This way if 
someone wanted the Blu-ray they would not have both formats checked out 
at the same time. The DVD is then available for someone else to use in 
the mean time and vice versa. We do not have a large collection though 
and they are kept in their own area out in the stacks available for 
browsing.

Re: [Videolib] Blu-ray/DVD combo packs

[Paula Manzella]

Hi, 

   Because we are a public library system with 20 different locations, 
Blu-Ray combo packs are handled two different ways.  For the branch 
libraries, we separate them, catalog each under the appropriate bib 
record and shelve them separately.Basically, the decision was made 
to separate because customers don't always have a Blu-ray player and 
because of the replacement cost issues.   Some of the smaller "member" 
libraries (e.g., Riverside Library) have chosen to keep the combo packs 
as is.  Each member library purchases their material and controls their 
own collection.

   At our Headquarters, Blu-rays are shelved away from the main DVD 
collection and each is housed in a security box.  Right now, only four 
of our branch libraries have small Blu-ray collections and each is doing 
something different for security.  One branch pulls all the discs and 
holds behind the circ desk.  Another uses the security cases and a two 
leave the Blu-rays in the boxes like DVDs.
 
Best,
Paula

Re: [Videolib] Administrative process for donating materials

[Dave Dvorchak]

I have not had to fill out any paperwork thus far but am always happy to do
so. Mostly it's been a "I don't care what you do, just get these things OUT
of here!" kind of deal!

Hi-

That seems right, and of course the donor has an opportunity to review  this 
form with folks from their institution before they donate and return form to 
you.

Hi Debra,

As a recipient of materials from other institutions, I’ve never been ask by the 
donor to sign an agreement.  The only paperwork involved has been the standard 
gift form that my institution requires when taking donations.

I guess there's no hard and fast rule, it's more instituion-dependent, more 
important  perhaps for more "official" archival material.

Hi,

   Because we are a public library system with 20 different locations,
Blu-Ray combo packs are handled two different ways.  For the branch
libraries, we separate them, catalog each under the appropriate bib
record and shelve them separately.Basically, the decision was made
to separate because customers don't always have a Blu-ray player and
because of the replacement cost issues.   Some of the smaller "member"
libraries (e.g., Riverside Library) have chosen to keep the combo packs
as is.  Each member library purchases their material and controls their
own collection.

   At our Headquarters, Blu-rays are shelved away from the main DVD
collection and each is housed in a security box.  Right now, only four
of our branch libraries have small Blu-ray collections and each is doing
something different for security.  One branch pulls all the discs and
holds behind the circ desk.  Another uses the security cases and a two
leave the Blu-rays in the boxes like DVDs.

Best,
Paula

Nah...

Nothing in the copyright law that would prevent you.  Once you bought it
(under the terms of the First Sale doctrine) you can pretty much use the
discs it as a coasters, pocket mirrors, or frisbees if you want to.

[Videolib] Major Supreme Court Decision

[Jessica Rosner]

I was sure Dennis was going to post this but I have not seen it.

http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2012/01/copyright/supreme-court-upholds-law-restoring-copyright-to-some-public-domain-works/

Despite many of attacks on the decision from the likes of the HathiTrust (
who cry crocodile tears about authors receiving fair compensation when they
tried
to put up and make available works they knew to be under copyright) this is
neither a surprising decision. For decades artists, writers, filmmakers
outside the US were deprived of their rights
by the complex US copyright  law so in fact the vast majority of European
films made prior to 1960 ( a rough guess) had no copyright protection. This
is not like the Sonny Bonno/ Disney 20 year extension . It is a legitimate
fix to a system that had systematically screwed overseas rights holders.

Oddly I know two of the people involved in drafting the law and one of the
major plaintiffs. My first friend to have a Supreme Court case but he lost.

Jessica, you and I are two of the few who feel this way. Most are reacting
like it's the end of public domain though all it's doing is agreeing on
something that was already done in 1994.

Re: [Videolib] Major Supreme Court Decision

I read it yesterday on your face book page for the first time. I have read
some of the alarmists on the web. I thought Ginsburg's point that it was
only giving Prokofiev the same protections Bernstein and Copeland already
have said it best.

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.
