Re: [Videolib] Retrofilms?

Well, considering it's got content available from Swank Digital and Media 
Education Foundation (those are just a couple I noticed) I'd say NOT legit. 
Also, what a bizarre site! I advise professors not to link to such content 
because (in addition to being illegally streamed!) it is likely to disappear 
and become unavailable with no warning.

This entity may have been discussed previously, but I've been off doing my

Videolib.

So here's my question:  Is anyone familiar with Retrofilms.in ?  A prof asked 
me about them because a stream of DO THE RIGHT THING is available there for 
free and he wanted to know if it was legit.  Given that their homepage includes 
this - P.S.: Those films you find removed from public

and a lot of pressure on our technical partners. - I think it's fairly clear 
that they're NOT above board(!!!), but I wondered if anyone knows anything 
about them.

And while I'm on the topic, why not ask another question  What's your 
favorite language to use with your faculty when they find an illegal stream and 
ask if they can use it in class?  I have my own phrasing, but I'd love to hear 
how others discuss this.

[Videolib] Seniors discover the internet in CYBER SENIORS

2014-10-21 Thread Abigail Levner
Hi colleagues - BusinessWeek recently reported that 41% of senior citizens do 
not know how to use the internet. 

With the web and social media playing a central role in everyday life, it's 
hard to believe that there are people who don't use or do not know how to use 
these platforms. Imagine how your way of learning information and communicating 
would change without access to the web!

That said - We are excited to announce the release of CYBER SENIORS  a 
heartwarming look at a group of senior citizens who learn how to use the 
internet - including YouTube, Skype, and Facebook - for the first time with the 
help of teenage mentors. With their new knowledge, they are empowered to 
connect via video chat with family members and grandkids living remotely, 
create and share content on social media, learn new skills by watching videos 
on YouTube, and more!

You can click here to view the trailer and learn more.

A sweet tale that will resonate with anyone who has tried to make a Skype call 
to a grandparent - The New York Times

74  min. | Documentary | PPR: $325 | Subject Areas: Aging, Technology, K-12, 
Education

I hope you enjoy! This is the perfect film for classes that have a 
technology-based community service component or are studying aging or the 
generation gap, or if your library has a laptop-lending program. Please let me 
know if you have any questions. 

Best,
Abigail

I like that subject to bring up, Sarah - the inability to rely upon the content 
- in addition to the standard (heh, pardon the pun) push for faculty to just 
do the right thing. ;)

And yes, I meant to convey, more strongly than perhaps I did, that I recognized 
it's not legit.  Just curious if others had encountered this particular site 
and whether it's been around awhile... and was interested to hear how others 
sell the whole No, we really can't do that message.

[Videolib] I'm interested in gathering feedback on digital file backup systems that are being used by libraries for video preservation files

2014-10-21 Thread Chris Lewis
We've considered Amazon Glacier  and are about to do a small-scale pilot
with them but we're also considering a local backup system using RAID
arrays. Ultimately we hope to have a system for both dark storage and ready
access storage.

I think I asked a similar question of the list about a year ago and got the
impression that there wasn't a lot of activity occurring on this front at
least in libraries. If anything of this kind is happening at your
institution but not in the library I would appreciate getting the names of
any contacts whose brains I can pick.

Re: [Videolib] VHS to DVD guidelines

2014-10-21 Thread Chris Lewis
Cindy,

In regard to streaming, we follow the TEACH Act guidelines so don't have a
more detailed check list per se. Though if the portions requested add up to
more than about half of the total, we suggest that the AU Counsel Office's
copyright specialist vet it. That's never happened though - to the best of
my knowledge. Our first step is to look for a license for streaming. We
don't consider the TEACH Act option unless a copy can't be licensed.

In regard to VHS to DVD. If an out-of-release VHS has been reserved for a
class need, we will make a DVD preservation copy, whether or not a
professor has requested the conversion. I know this doesn't follow
everyone's interpretation of Section 108 but I'm willing to stand by it to
insure that important content doesn't just disappear and become unusable
for the purposes for which the distributors intended it to be used. Too
many irreplaceable tapes have been damaged in the past few years to risk
leaving them in circulation. The issue is not so much tape degradation
(though there is clearly evidence of that in high-use tapes) but equipment
malfunctions sometimes combined with operator error.

[Videolib] FW: Copyright Course

2014-10-21 Thread Dylan McGinty
Posted on behalf of Claudia Hill, former Art and Architecture Cataloguer at 
Columbia University

Hello,

We're excited to be offering CopyrightX again in 2015.

CopyrightX will run for twelve weeks; it will begin on January 26. The 
application process for the online sections opens on October 15 and closes on 
December 15.

Please see the announcement below for further information; feel free to share 
it widely with your networks and to retweet the Berkman 
Centerhttps://twitter.com/berkmancenter/status/522411538439630848. You are 
welcome to share the announcement widely in channels that might reach potential 
students. We'd be grateful for your help in spreading the word.

Best,

The CopyrightX Team

***
The application for the CopyrightX online sections will run from Oct. 15 - Dec. 
15. See CopyrightX:Sectionshttp://copyx.org/sections/ for details.

CopyrightXhttp://copyx.org/ is a networked course that explores the current 
law of copyright; the impact of that law on art, entertainment, and industry; 
and the ongoing debates concerning how the law should be reformed. Through a 
combination of recorded lectureshttp://copyx.org/lectures/, assigned 
readingshttp://copyx.org/reading-materials/, weekly seminars, live 
interactive webcastshttp://copyx.org/events/, and online discussions, 
participants in the course examine and assess the ways in which the copyright 
system seeks to stimulate and regulate creative expression.

In 2013, HarvardX, Harvard Law School, and the Berkman Center for Internet  
Society launched an experiment in distance education- CopyrightX, the first 
free and open distance learning course on law. After two successful offerings, 
CopyrightX is an experiment no longer. Under the leadership of Professor 
William Fisherhttp://tfisher.org/, who created and directs the course, 
CopyrightX will be offered for a third time from January to May 2015.

Three types of courses make up the CopyrightX Community:

  *   a residential coursehttp://copyx.org/courses/harvard-law-school/ on 
Copyright Law, taught by Prof. Fisher to approximately 100 Harvard Law School 
students;
  *   an online course divided into sectionshttp://copyx.org/sections/ of 25 
students, each section taught by a Harvard Teaching Fellow;
  *   a set of affiliated courseshttp://copyx.org/affiliates/ based in 
countries other than the United States, each taught by an expert in copyright 
law.

Participation in the online sections is free and is open to anyone at least 13 
years of age, but enrollment is limited. Admission to the online sections will 
be administered through an open application process that opens on October 15 
and closes on December 15. We welcome applicants from all countries, lawyers 
and non-lawyers alike. For details, see 
CopyrightX:Sectionshttp://copyx.org/sections/. (The criteria for admission to 
each of the affiliated courses are set by the course's instructor. Students who 
will enroll in the affiliated courses may not apply to the online sections.)

 Well, considering it’s got content available from Swank Digital and Media

 Also, what a bizarre site! I advise professors not to link to such content
 because (in addition to being illegally streamed!) it is likely to
 disappear and become unavailable with no warning.

 Videolib.



 So here’s my question:  Is anyone familiar with Retrofilms.in ?  A prof
 asked me about them because a stream of DO THE RIGHT THING is available
 there for free and he wanted to know if it was legit.  Given that their
 homepage includes this – “*P.S.: *Those films you find removed from *public

 circles and a lot of pressure on our technical partners.” – I think it’s
 fairly clear that they’re NOT above board(!!!), but I wondered if anyone
 knows anything about them.



 And while I’m on the topic, why not ask another question….  What’s your
 favorite language to use with your faculty when they find an illegal stream
 and ask if they can use it in class?  I have my own phrasing, but I’d love
 to hear how others discuss this.

Re: [Videolib] quick poll

2014-10-21 Thread Bergman, Barbara J
We have open stacks, with the DVDs in locked cases (case is tattletaped; discs 
are not - overlays tend to cause playback problems).
We use Checkpoint, which less expensive than the more secure KwikCases.
I think lack of theft is more a nature of our patron population than from the 
security.  It's not difficult to crack the cases open.
The handful of times we've had cases broken into and the disc stolen, they were 
inexpensive titles that were easy to replace (or not). The pricey documentaries 
are not at risk from theft.

Anyone keep their dvd collection in open stacks, without locking cases?  We're

little theft. Any thoughts or personal experiences are welcome!

public, but doesn't charge admission.

OK I will check with another source who is involved but just to be clear are 
you looking to do a one off show or are you asking to stream for a period of 
time

Thanks, Jessica--
I did check with Janus and they said that the rights are in flux right now.  
Any other ideas?

New Yorker does not own  it. They said to check with Janus Criterion. If that 
does not work I may have an option. Let me know

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know who handles the public performance rights for this title?
I don't remember where we purchased our DVD copy, which is on a disc with Borom 
Sarret, but I know it used to be distributed by New Yorker Films.
thanks!

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know who handles the public performance rights for this title?

I don't remember where we purchased our DVD copy, which is on a disc with
Borom Sarret, but I know it used to be distributed by New Yorker Films.

thanks!
