Re: [Videolib] Community Practices in the Fair Use of Video in Libraries
Hi all Well...as my screed yesterday demonstrates, it's never too late to be stupid. As my friend Judy Thomas reminded me (tactfully offline), I was, indeed, surveyed for this project. I owe an apology to Judy and her hard-working crew, as well as thanks for attempting to bring at least a bit of clarity to these knotty and often maddeningly obtuse issues. I think my lashing out stems from a general and continuing frustration with the fact that, in all too many cases, policy and practice and advocacy in the areas of video copyright and licensing, fair use, etc. are often being made in the library and academic worlds by individuals and groups who have very little knowledge of or stake in either the worlds of video production and distribution, or the on-going process of video collection development and management. The direct relationship between the economic health and viability of content producers/distributors and the building of useful and diverse collections is something about which those of us actually doing media know a great deal. Not so much the pundits at ARL... My rather snarky note yesterday was penned with an apparently ill-founded fear that the right people weren't being queried, and that these misinformed responses would form the basis of best practice... In any case...I hope Judy and her team will forgive my late-career lapse in judgment. Gary Handman Dear Colleagues, The Fair Use and Video Project has posted online its document titled Community Practices in the Fair Use of Video in Libraries, http://pages.shanti.virginia.edu/Fair_Use_and_Video/. For an introduction to the document, please see Carrie's Russell's blog post on ALA'S District Dispatch at http://www.districtdispatch.org/2012/04/introducing-community-practices-in-the-fair-use-of-video-in-libraries/ . To those of you who contributed your time and effort to answer our surveys, attend our focus groups, or comment on our drafts, we offer you our sincere thanks. This project began as an attempt by the Video Roundtable to establish a recommended body of practice in the fair use of video for educational purposes. A team of six librarians, with advice and guidance from ALA’s Office of Information Technology Policy, coordinated the process of gathering input from the media librarian community and then created a document describing our findings. We decided to focus on documenting our community practices, i.e. how librarians routinely and responsibly fulfill their mission to preserve and provide access to our cultural record. The team conducted in-person interviews at national conferences and hosted a series of focus groups at locations across the country: Boston, Seattle, Evanston, Washington, D.C. and Richmond. About eighty library staff members with varying responsibilities for buying, processing, and/or supporting the educational use of video were included in our surveys.

Re: [Videolib] Community Practices in the Fair Use of Video in Libraries
Hey, Gary, thanks for that explanation ... after your comments I read the document, which I found helpful in breaking down the issues, now your new comments add to the discussion. No worries ... Anyway, all this could be called internal commentary, it hasn't reached the NYT or Fox yet! screed I've always liked that word. And to think, it's also a tool for smoothing over concrete or plaster.
