Re: [Videolib] Forsberg's research on VHS deterioration published
Deg, This is exciting. Just after our brief email conversation developments with campus classroom tech staff and our intellectual property lawyer drew attention to Section 108 here at the UConn Library. I am now reviewing and documenting VHS deterioration in addition to the due diligence search for new VHS or availability of DVD format. The due diligence search we follow is here: http://aladinrc.wrlc.org/handle/1961/16025 And we are also following Kenneth Crews checklist, http://copyright.columbia.edu/copyright/files/2009/10/copyrightchecklist108preservation.pdf Thanks for posting info on this chapter.

Forsberg along with Howard Besser presented on his research at the 2013 National Media Market in the session Video at Risk: Strategies for Preserving Commercial Video Collections in Research Libraries. But now the research in all it's fine detail is available. Since deterioration is one of the factors that libraries can use to invoke duplication provisions of Section 108 of copyright law, this research is a critical addition to the professional literature. Citation: Forsberg, W. Piil, E. (2014). Tune in, turn on, drop out. In S. Hastings (Ed.) Annual Review of Cultural Heritage Informatics (pp.213-242). Lanham: Rowman Littlefield Publishers. Abstract from the publication: Analog videotape, an imperfect moving image technology format since its introduction, is reaching the end of its life cycle. However, large quantities of out-of-print and irreplaceable VHS titles still comprise significant portions of library and archival collections and circulations. Given the need to preserve this content, this study investigates the use of the dropout; metric (counts of disruptions in the video signal) for determining whether libraries and archives can invoke their rights of reproduc- tion under the United States Copyright Act. Videotape technology and deterioration problems are explained and prior deterioration studies are reviewed. Dropout tests of four pairs of commercially produced VHS titles are conducted and relationships between videotape deterioration as measured by dropout counts, circulation statistics, and manufacturing quality control standards are evaluated. Offering noninvasive evidence of videotape deterioration, quantified dropout counts appear to provide libraries and archives with an objective measure to meet the vague deterioration; standard of the Copyright Act.

Re: [Videolib] Question regarding library strategies for providing accessibility to audiovisual materials
Hi all, Thank you for the shout out, Jim! The slides from my NMM presentation are available on the Market website at: http://www.nmm.net/market-resources/ I had not weighed in earlier, because the process I discussed works best for captioning films licensed for online delivery when a subtitle or caption track is available on the DVD. The materials Lisa mentions, with no accessibility enhancements included, are much more problematic. I've experimented with creating caption files from scratch or from transcripts, but have concluded that this is only really cost effective for short, library-produced videos such as online tutorials. For longer commercial works, I'd agree with Arielle that outsourcing to a captioning vendor is probably the best means of providing accessible copies.

Re: [Videolib] Rental collections?
Hi Meghann, I'm at an academic library and we also use the McNaughton DVD lease plan. A few years ago we decided focus our DVD collection development policy more tightly on supporting the curriculum and meeting faculty requests, where before we'd also supported 'leisure' viewing needs by request. Providing the leased collection, with high turnover of recent releases, took the edge off this change in collection development and has proven very popular. Kelly Head, Metadata Services O'Neill Library, Boston College On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 3:47 PM, Meghann Matwichuk mtw...@udel.edu wrote: Thanks so much, Becky! Very helpful information. I also received a question off list and would like to clarify what I meant by 'rental collection' -- my conception of it pretty much matches what Becky outlines below: a supplemental collection that is rented by the Library from a vendor, and then loaned out to patrons -- not a collection that it purchased and rented at a cost to the borrowers. Best, Meghann On 12/3/2014 3:12 PM, Tatar, Becky wrote: We have been using Brodart’s/McNaughten dvd lease program for 5 years now. Basically, we use it to supplement copies for blockbuster titles with lots of reserves. Our regular orders are from Midwest. I use their calendar of upcoming hit movies to gage how many lease copies to order, at least to start with. When we first started with Brodart, I think the program was pretty new to them, also, because their database basically only had what had already been released. You couldn’t order upcoming titles. They have changed that, and for the most part, have at least most of 2 months of titles in advance in their database. They are also pretty good about doing television shows, as some of those titles which we get also get heavy reserve lists. They also do well on trying to get titles not listed in the database. Points are assigned to each title, with most feature films getting anywhere from 13 – 16 points per copy. You purchase a certain level of points each year. If you don’t use them all, they do carry over to the next year. You also are given a percentage for lost or damaged titles, and have the ability to keep some copies, in case your own copies go missing or are damaged. They have also been good to work with the one time a tv show had a damaged disc. They not only replaced the disc at no charge, but were able to do a replacement copy of the whole set. For me, there is also a bit of paperwork to track the barcodes of the lease copies, when they come, and when they are all returned. One reason we went with Brodart as opposed to some of the other vendors had to do with the nonsense from the studios about releasing bare bones DVDs only to libraries, not titles with all the bells and whistles. It appears that Brodart, while a library company, gets their DVDs from AEC/WebAmi, so we are able to bypass the studio nonsense. Of course, this means that sometimes we only have lease copies of the movie for about 4 weeks. Overall, we are very happy with the program. And again, though, it is for supplementing our new titles that have many reserves. Sometimes, generally with popular tv shows, like Game of Thrones, or Dexter, when the new seasons come out, we need to get a couple lease copies of older seasons as well as the new season, since reserves on the old seasons spike up.

Faculty are supposed to alert SDS as soon as they have a student with special needs who is enrolled in their specific course. SDS then contacts me to see if we already own a copy of the title in our collection that has suitable access for the student. If not, then I track down the publisher/distributor/etc. to ask if they have a captioned or subtitled version or a transcript available. If not, I ask them if they have a digital file of the title that we could use to add captioning to it. Sometimes it takes a lot of detective work to track down the right source that might hold that transcript. If not, then we ask our campus' IT Department to convert the video into digital media, and then that file is sent to our SDS office who works with some companies to add captioning to the digital file. It is then either used as a captioned digital file or a captioned DVD is made from that file. We have restrictions on the use of that converted material so that only the student with an identified need can have access to it. Currently, our SDS office handles this part, but there is ongoing discussion about how the captioned material will be made available to the identified student and where they should go to obtain it. We are still developing all of the steps involved in this process, but that is how we have handled requests so far. When I contact the publisher/distributor/producer/director/etc., I make sure to tell them that we understand that the ADA guidelines permit us to make a digital file for a student with needs, but I emphasis that it will be restricted to only those types of uses and will not be placed in our circulating collection. Everyone I have contacted for availability of digital files and/or transcripts has been more than willing to work with us so we end up with a captioned copy. We had some protracted negotiations with our library and the SDS office on who was going to pay for the cost of all this, but have basically settled that for the present. Our library's cost contribution at this time is in the amount of time it takes me to follow through with all the correspondence and the logistics of getting the file into digital format to caption. Any of these processes may change as we work through this, but for now, the 8-10 requests we have received have been handled so that the student with needs has access to the same media materials others do for that particular course. For our faculty, both myself and the SDS office stress to that it takes time to make this happen, so the earlier they identify resources for their class syllabus and identify media materials the better chance we have of getting a captioned version in time for the student's use. There is no way we can afford to caption every single video title in our collection, so it is being done currently on an as-requested basis. Let me know if you have any further questions or need any clarification. This can be a daunting task if you have never had to provide the captioned format, but in most cases, I believe it can be done. Good luck.

Re: [Videolib] Help finding info
There is also a somewhat dated chapter in Gary Handman's Video Collection Development in Multi-Type Libraries. Chapter on the market. Reminder, there is a slight parallel with journal pricing for individual issues versus institutional pricing. But.. tiered pricing for different types of libraries is another issue.

Forsberg along with Howard Besser presented on his research at the 2013 National Media Market in the session Video at Risk: Strategies for Preserving Commercial Video Collections in Research Libraries.

Since deterioration is one of the factors that libraries can use to invoke duplication provisions of Section 108 of copyright law, this research is a critical addition to the professional literature. Citation: Forsberg, W. Piil, E. (2014). Tune in, turn on, drop out. In S. Hastings (Ed.) Annual Review of Cultural Heritage Informatics (pp.213-242). Lanham: Rowman Littlefield Publishers. Abstract from the publication: Analog videotape, an imperfect moving image technology format since its introduction, is reaching the end of its life cycle. However, large quantities of out-of-print and irreplaceable VHS titles still comprise significant portions of library and archival collections and circulations. Given the need to preserve this content, this study investigates the use of the dropout; metric (counts of disruptions in the video signal) for determining whether libraries and archives can invoke their rights of reproduc- tion under the United States Copyright Act. Videotape technology and deterioration problems are explained and prior deterioration studies are reviewed. Dropout tests of four pairs of commercially produced VHS titles are conducted and relationships between videotape deterioration as measured by dropout counts, circulation statistics, and manufacturing quality control standards are evaluated. Offering noninvasive evidence of videotape deterioration, quantified dropout counts appear to provide libraries and archives with an objective measure to meet the vague deterioration; standard of the Copyright Act.
