[Videolib] Netflix Streaming and Face-to-Face / Canistream.it
Another something to add re: canistream.it, which I have also found to be very useful -- they are receptive to feedback. When I noticed that the site was conflating the older documentary film Leviathan with the newer feature of the same title, I used their questions / concerns / comments email address listed at the bottom of their pages to point out the error, thinking it would likely go to unanswered / unread. I was surprised when I got a response from an actual person saying they would look into the matter. It wasn't instantaneous, but eventually it did get fixed.

I have always assumed it was fine. Access was legally acquired and would fall under 110(1). Another support department on my campus is saying, no, it’s not legal because Netflix’s terms of service trump 110. They are coming to this conclusion based on advice from an inhouse article http://www.library.unt.edu/news/may-one-stream-netflix-video-class-use written by our Scholarly Communications Librarian. I never saw eye to eye with this librarian on media related copyright issues, his interpretations do not necessarily reflect those of the campus legal office AND he recently left the university. So I’m trying to find something else solid that addresses this issue. I flipped back through Ciara Healy’s Library Trends article, but it doesn’t seem to address the copyright issue. Can anyone point me to something? Thanks!

Re: [Videolib] Netflix Streaming and Face-to-Face
Yes, I know. I waste a lot of time searching for titles or films by topic, too. Some time ago I suggested to this list that vendors make their catalogues searchable on the web. Even earlier I suggested a common marketplace site for video but nothing’s happened yet. Some are too afraid of competition and partly it’s a question of there are so many vendors selling films, there is no coordinated effort and no desire for it on their part. I always hoped NMM would pick up this ball and run with it. I think they would sell way more if we had a central video marketplace for documentaries. Maybe I should quit my job and make it happen. We need THE documentary website with options for individual pay per view, institutional pay per view, per course, per X time frame with embeddable links. Canistream.it is a good model. Vendors, get your stuff listed there!

Re: [Videolib] looking for FEATURE FILMS on global health
Contagion is an excellent suggestion. There's also the classics Omega Man, Andromeda Strain, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Others are Outbreak (which is great fun about a deadly serious subject, and suspenseful), Gilliam'sTwelve Monkeys, which is based on Marker's La Jetee, or to be silly and over the top Cronenberg's first film Shivers, that really does drive home the serious matter of global contagions. There is one more that I just cannot think of; it was set in contemporary London, and quite realistically shows how social order quickly erodes in the face of widespread panic over a virus, not unlike the bubonic plague. I want to say it was an HBO production. I will certainly send it if I can think of it.
