Re: [Videolib] National Media Market
Heck yes, you want to petition to go, Celia! I would second all of the positive comments I've read so far, but I especially wanted to address what Matt has said here. Even for our small school of slightly over 900 students (with a proportionally small materials budget compared to the big institutions), I am one who has ended up saved hundreds of dollars on video purchases even after deducting the expenses associated with NMM attendance.

Re: [Videolib] NMM
Nell wrote: Great opportunity to see the wealth of media releases offered the last few years. Often there are multiple films on hot topics, so you can preview them to explore their scope, audience, etc.. This may lead to better quality and targeted selection. You also discover gems. The group meals and after hours events are where the buzz about interesting new films come to light. Me again. This is so true about discovering gems! I usually go in with a few items I know I want to preview and some topics I'm hoping to match films to. What has become clear to me in my years of attending is that, every time, there's also a gem (or two or three...) which I had no idea was out there, or on a topic I hadn't contemplated, that is brilliant and I end up feeling just has to be purchased for our collection. This year Patriot Guard Riders pops into my mind as one that I probably would not have given a second glance, had I not be at NMM and able to preview it. It's fantastic!

[Videolib] Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Academic and Research Libraries
With apologies for cross-posting, I wanted to share the very exciting news that as of this morning, academic and research libraries have their very own Code of Best Practices in Fair Use http://www.arl.org/fairuse! Librarians developed this code under the aegis of the Association of Research Libraries and with funding from the Mellon Foundation in sessions over the course of two years, in locations around the country. Legal scholar Peter Jaszi (Washington College of Law, American University) and I were privileged to participate in the facilitation; it was an education in itself. Please do go read it http://www.arl.org/fairuse. Tweet about it with hashtag #librarianscode. If you want to know why a code of best practices is different from (and better than) guidelines, please read the blog post about it at ARL's blog http://policynotes.arl.org/. It's written by ARL's Brandon Butler, who led the process brilliantly. If you'd like to use educational materials, or learn more about the law that makes such codes a good idea, visit this sitehttp://centerforsocialmedia.org/libraries at the Center for Social Media. You'll find a video, briefings, academic articles, FAQs, and slide shows.

Re: [Videolib] National Media Market
In addition to what everyone else has said as to why the NMM is worth attending, I'll add that it is worlds away from the hectic ALA convention hall experience. The NMM is very cozy, all within a single hotel. You literally sit down with the exhibitors in the suites and talk about your needs and which of their products might of use. You can preview as much or as little as you want of all the films. Hope to see you this October.

[Videolib] media lab instruction content
Please excuse cross-postings. Hello videolib and comlib listers. i'm hoping to draw on your collective experience as i look towards expanding our instructional program a little. Here at Tulane, Technology Services is responsible for the media lab located in the main library. This also includes instruction on how to use the equipment and software. I've started a dialogue with TS about what i can bring to the instruction sessions as the media librarian. Instruction in the media lab, however, is entirely new territory for me. Those of you that provide media lab instruction, would you mind sharing some of the topics you cover (or would like to cover) in your average one-shot media lab instruction session? Thanks very much in advance.

[Videolib] 2012 Notable Videos for Adults
Dear Videolib Colleagues, Below is a 2012's list of Notable Videos for Adults. Although, the list isn't yet posted on the Video Roundtable webpage, these are the final selections. For those of you who aren't familiar with the process: each year, from January to November recent documentaries are nominated (by pretty much any one) as a potentially Notable film. The chair of the committee contacts the distributors, asks for two hard copies and then the group mails those copies to one another. This past year, our 8 member committee watched 62 nominated documentaries, and at Midwinter we met for 8 continuous hours to identify 15 films that we feel would be an asset to all library collections. It's important to understand that most of the documentaries that we watched were amazing and that whittling down nominations is never a scientific or perfect process. At the expense of a prolix email, I'd like to thank three groups: 1. The filmmakers: In trying to track down screeners, I often found myself communicating with the filmmakers themselves. These folks are gracious, passionate and fundamentally focused on a cause, not a profit. I really do see so many things differently -a plastic bottle, an orange, a cup of coffee- simply because a filmmaker cared enough to show me how to see things differently. 2. The distributors: Again, these folks were overwhelming supportive and responsive to my requests. I'd say, No rush on video X, and then they'd FedEx me. I'd say, We only need two copies, and they would send me four. Let's be honest: too often the relationship between librarians and distributors is sketched as antagonistic and tense. In reality, librarians know that what most video distributors do is a labor of love... that you too are struggling to pay your bills and keep your employees. I am fundamentally grateful that you believed is such amazing films and for making those films available to us. 3. My fellow committee members: We don't often use the word passion to describe our profession. Phrases like evidence-based or information literacy or learning outcomes are more commonly used to justify our existence. And yet, so often, we spend hours outside of work, working; we pay out-of-pocket for hotels and flights to sit in cold conference rooms and to talk about videos or books or more generally, how to better serve the people that we serve. I am grateful to have worked with an amazing group of passionate librarians and that I can describe our profession as one fraught with passion. This list is a small act, but I, and my fellow committee members are proud to share it with you. 2012 Notable Videos for Adults 1. A Film Unfinished. 90 minutes. Oscilloscope Laboratories.

[Videolib] Actually reading the Code is a great idea, thanks!
So sorry that I missed all the drama! We've been busy getting info around, and it's not leaving as much time to read reactions as it should. The code is available online, and so is a host of educational materials that make it really easy to grasp; FAQs for students, teachers, librarians, slide shows, a video, etc. All at centerforsocialmedia.org/libraries and mirrored on ARL's and PIJIP's site too. The webinar we did today will be up in video format in a couple of days and I'll send a link to it. I don't think the librarians' code is a threat to media makers, and I don't think librarians should be second-class citizens in the area of free speech rights either. Media makers and their distributors benefit heartily from the exercise of fair use, and to have everyone understanding both fair use rights and their limitations makes doing business easier.

[Videolib] ACRL Best Practices
So? Has anyone had an opportunity to read em? I've had several quick reads and it seems to me that the two most significant principles being supported relevant to video are: 1. A fair use justification for digitizing and delivering of library video collections to classes...pretty heavy! The notion of transformative use comes into play--shades of UCLA! On quick reading I find this principle more than a bit problematic: it says It is fair use to make appropriately tailed course-related content available to enrolled students via digital networks What does that mean, exactly, though? A fair use claim for digitizing DVDs and/or vhs tapes to support specific classes, regardless of content type, regardless of license availability? Regardless... I feel like I'm missing something. (If Pat Aufderheide is lurking...I'd really like to hear her thoughts). 2. Going beyond current 108 allowances by claiming fair use for a) preemptive preservation (not simply 108's requirement that the item being considered for preservation must demonstrate deterioration); and b) off-premises use of preservation copies to library patrons. (I didn't get the sense that the document supports network delivery of materials made under 108 provisions...) I'm interested in hearing what the rest of you think... gary Gary Handman Director Media Resources Center Moffitt Library UC Berkeley 510-643-8566 ghand...@library.berkeley.edu http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC I have always preferred the reflection of life to life itself. --Francois Truffaut 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.

Re: [Videolib] Actually reading the Code is a great idea, thanks!
Hi Pat I just shot off some very perfunctory comments... I'd really appreciate your take them. Gary Handman So sorry that I missed all the drama! We've been busy getting info around, and it's not leaving as much time to read reactions as it should. The code is available online, and so is a host of educational materials that make it really easy to grasp; FAQs for students, teachers, librarians, slide shows, a video, etc. All at centerforsocialmedia.org/libraries and mirrored on ARL's and PIJIP's site too. The webinar we did today will be up in video format in a couple of days and I'll send a link to it. I don't think the librarians' code is a threat to media makers, and I don't think librarians should be second-class citizens in the area of free speech rights either. Media makers and their distributors benefit heartily from the exercise of fair use, and to have everyone understanding both fair use rights and their limitations makes doing business easier.

Re: [Videolib] ACRL Best Practices
I only had a quick look and the scary thing is that those are exactly the two issues that upset me and I think are totally unsupportable by copyright law. I will comment in detail tomorrow but how can one remotely claim that copying a VHS to DVD is any way shape or form transormative? really scary that for the moment we seem to be on the same page Gary.
