Re: [Videolib] Media Circulation Best Practices
Hi Everybody, Here at Tulane undergrads have to following media borrowing privileges: Up to 5 CDs for 1 week with 1 renewal Up to 3 DVDs for 1 week with 1 renewal Grad students: Up to 7 CDs for 1 week with 1 renewal Up to 5 DVDs for 1 week with 1 renewal Faculty: Up to 7 CDs for 4 weeks with 1 renewal Up to 5 DVDs for 2 weeks with 1 renewal Our CD lending policy was partially the result of a survey of lending policies at a comparable institutions ours is actually quite generous compared to many of them. More importantly, though, in revising our media lending policy I tried to take into account the different needs of each patron group. For example, undergrads often come in for fun watching (class viewing is already on reserve) so they don't need more than a week. Faculty, on the other hand, often need multiple DVDs at once and for longer periods either so they can prepare for class or conduct their research. Music students definitely need to be able to listen to a variety of performances of the same work since each performance offers slightly different interpretations of the work, so that's why they can get more CDs than DVDs. The 4 week CD lending period for faculty relates to the prep time needed for classes but more specifically to their research, the audio is an intrinsic component of the score and requires frequent and repeated listening at the level of research conducted by faculty.

Re: [Videolib] Media Circulation Best Practices
I was going to say pretty much what deg did: Why wouldn't you allow students to checkout videos? One week for all (except reserves of course). Faculty can ask for extensions (most know they don't get fined). Students can re-check out if needed. We have far more leverage with students than the faculty to get videos back on time -- late fees (up to $10) and the default replacement billing ($200) put a hold on their campus record, which gets their attention if they ignored the email notices. Community users get same terms as students. ~Barb Minnesota State University, Mankato On Jun 11, 2015, at 1:24 PM, Lowell Lybarger llybar...@atu.edumailto:llybar...@atu.edu wrote: This is an open-ended question about loan periods for optical media (DVD, Blu-ray, and CD audio) for undergraduates.

[Videolib] Netflix produced documentaries
Hello, Does anyone know if there is a contact for Netflix that works with institutional markets? Or, how have others handled Netflix original content? According to the license faculty aren't supposed to show films in the classroom, but what happens if those films or documentaries are only available from Netflix? Beyond look the other way, has anyone had success or determining how to access this content?

[Videolib] VRT at ALA: Student and faculty engagement with streaming video: Beyond the hype
VRT at ALA 2015 in San Francisco: Programs Events! Student and faculty engagement with streaming video: Beyond the hype sponsored by Video Round Table Saturday, June 27, 2015 - 10:30am to 11:30am Moscone Convention Center - 2018 (W) In the past 18 months, there has been an explosion of video in higher education, from the use of video in flipped classrooms and MOOC's, in distance education, hybrid classrooms, and even in individual study. This presentation pulls together industry and institution-level studies, as well as international surveys, in-depth focus groups, interviews and institutional case studies with students, academics and librarians. We discuss the findings on student and faculty engagement with video, present and future, and what it means for libraries.

Re: [Videolib] Netflix produced documentaries
Hi Allen, My best advice on Netflix exclusive documentary content is to determine the production company involved and contact them about the availability of a DVD copy. For instance, multiple faculty wanted us to acquire Jehane Noujaim's *The Square* and--after several tries--I was finally able to convince Noujaim Films to sell us an educational edition. Good luck!

Re: [Videolib] Media Circulation Best Practices
Good Morning, We just came up with Alma last month. Our loan period was 1 week with up to 4 renewals. Now with Alma it was decided by the consortium that the loan period is 2 weeks with 1 renewal for all Faculty , Staff and Students. We don't expect any issues. Hope this helps Beth Traylor Media and Reserve Librarian UW-Milwaukee From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu on behalf of Deg Farrelly deg.farre...@asu.edu Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2015 5:46 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: Re: [Videolib] Media Circulation Best Practices Lowell Thanx for a great question. At ASU Libraries the loan period for our videos (changed from 3 days many years ago) is one week, no renewals. This applies to all borrowers, students, faculty, staff, and local community. IF a faculty member asks for a longer loan period it is provided, provided there are no holds, bookings, etc. on them. And a patron may bring the videos back in and borrow again, provided there are no holds or bookings on them. Videos on course reserve have different loan periods, 4 hours, overnight, one week, etc. I know that some libraries still do not allow students to borrow videos, or allow videos out of the building, or allow only faculty to borrow, or, or, or. Might I suggest that you turn the question around and instead of asking if loan periods should be extended, ask what is the rationale for having a different loan period or a shorter loan period for media. Do all media need such a restriction? I think video loan periods are a hold-over from the days when films, and then videos, were expensive. 25 years ago the standard loan (or rental for 16mm) was 3 daysŠ.. One day to pick it up/one day to show/one day to return. This is a legacy approach that may not hold up anymore. There are workarounds for irreplaceable titles, titles needed for instructionŠ. Why is an important question to ask. -deg P.S. Have you completed the survey: Academic Library Streaming Video Revisited?
