Re: [Videolib] Captioning - Is permission required from distributor?
I personally receive requests from time to time asking for an okay to caption a film that isn't already captioned (especially within California), and I always approve them. I usually get a fax or an e-mail asking me to sign and return the permission form..

I just saw a memo for our system counsel that struck me as wrong, but need some backing evidence. It is telling the Office of Disability Services to ask permission from distributors before creating an open captioned version of films. My understanding is that this is allowed under ADA and that no permission is needed. Right? (Contacting the distributor to find out if there is perhaps a captioned version available, yes. Permission, no.) Captioning is only being added to videos where there is a hearing-impaired student enrolled in the class. (And only on legally acquired -i.e. purchased-videos.)

Like many of you, our copy of Ethnic Notions has gotten a lot of use over the years. In fact, I've just upgraded to DVD from VHS since it's still getting used frequently. But here's a question from a prof who uses it often: since Ethnic Notions is a 1987 production, while it's great at both providing examples of stereotyping of African-Americans and a historical overview of those stereotypes, it does... well... stop in 1987. Have others of you found something comparable that is more current? We have MEF's Dreamworlds 3, MEF's Stuart Hall and Tim Wise offerings, California Newsreel's Black Is... Black Ain't, and scores of other titles which deal with race, but they often seem to focus on one particular aspect of culture (music, sport, etc.) or lack the historic overview by focusing on one time period. We'd love to know if there's something quite similar to Ethnic Notions in speaking *both* to stereotypes/caricatures of African Americans *and* to the historical context. Lawrence, anything in the works from Newsreel itself by way of an update or supplement to Ethnic Notions?
