Hi All
I have a problem as a distributer of documentaries.
A DVD is just a piece of metal, a big TV station pays more then a small
cable TV, Libraries pay us $500 for a screening  for entrance paying
audiences, Only $250 for PPR for non paying audiences, $175 for University
library use, from this we all can deduct and agree on that what we are
selling is Screening rights not DVDs.
I'm not interested in selling "Home Video", so if somebody asks for a film I
ask for $50 + $6 (Shipping) so  as to deter the nudniks,   most don't care
to return, but if he is a grandchild of a passenger on the Darien he will
buy "The Darien Dilemma" .

This week I received a request from a University Professor for one of our
films to purchase as Home Video, I know he learnt about the film from a
forward from the University library my problem is should I sell it and then
he can use it in class in "face to face" screening or should I prefer to
send him a free preview hoping the University library will then purchase it,
or maybe as he received the preview legally he can still use it in a
classroom in "face to face " situation?

Hi all!

Does anyone know if any *public* librarians were contacted/consulted for
this? Our concerns and usages are quite different, after all . . .

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.

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.

open challenges and issues in this area of research. We invite submissions
of work at all stages of development that address any aspects of
personalization in the cultural heritage domain, e.g., papers which
describe work in progress, empirical results, position statements, and
demonstrations of existing systems.

=== Topics ===
- Leveraging human computation, social computing and crowdsourcing to
improve multimedia retrieval and exploration systems in the cultural
heritage domain

Contextualized and context-aware navigation/browsing interfaces
- Presentation of and interaction with personalized multimedia narratives
in digital collections
- Intelligent interfaces for semantically enriched multimedia collections -
