Gary Handman (UCB) and Chris Lewis (AU) shared lists of titles which they
found to be out of print ... a few years ago.  I will try to find in the
archives later today and post ... off to a meeting.

Caveat:  some may have come back into distribution during the last few
years.

   Dear colleagues:

 The University at Albany, SUNY, is in the process of weeding VHS
 materials held in our general collection, all of which was commercially
 produced. Regarding those titles for which a more current format is not
 available we will need to obtain copyright clearance before we consider
 reformatting.

 We are wondering if there are other educational institutions that have
 worked through a project such as this that have “video copyright searching”
 documentation tools or data that they would be willing to share to assist
 us.

 Thank you in advance for your input and advice.

Re: [Videolib] Copyright searches for videotape

2014-07-25 Thread Lisa Wakefield 
As a newbie to this list (which I heard about at the excellent Video Roundtable 
session at ALA) and to video librarianship, I appreciate the useful information 
contained in this discussion. I was not aware of the significant costs incurred 
to convert formats.  Our library as well has had the discussion of how to 
replace/discard/reformat VHS holdings. In fact, our penultimate VHS player was 
carted out to the dumpster last year, pleading for clemency, over futile 
protests from our Tech Services team. The only player that remains is in a 
study carrel in the library, not particularly useful for classroom presentation.

Does anyone have comments/suggestions on the conversion implications based on 
Canadian copyright law?
