Subject: [Videolib] Retirement ~ Retunement ~ Farewell

Dear friends on Videolib,

It is with great joy and a measure of sadness that I write to say farewell to 
my friends and colleagues.  On October 1st I completed twenty-nine years with 
Bullfrog Films, through four format shifts (from 16mm to VHS to DVD to 
streaming).  At the National Media Market in Baltimore I shared my news in 
person with attendees, and celebrated my retirement with cake and music in the 
Bullfrog Films suite.

Under a full moon, moving towards the Winter Solstice, I see my path to lay it 
all down.

Thanks to all of you who have worked with me and Bullfrog Films all these 
years.  I am grateful for your support and encouragement.  One of my favorite 
jokes (I'll tell you another time) has a great punchline:  "Ist es nicht 
wunderbar dass wir doch zusammen gekommen sind!"

Isn't it wonderful that we got together!

With love and gratitude,
Elizabeth

[Videolib] Captions and transcripts question

[Dorfman, Andrew]

I’ve encountered a copyright-related question that I don’t think has been 
addressed in the years I’ve followed this list.

If one sources an existing, freely available streaming video clip on YouTube, 
Vimeo or elsewhere that is not closed-captioned, is it permissible to create 
captions or a transcript for that video if it’s linked in an online course?

I’m curious to hear the collective wisdom on this one.  Thanks,

Andy

Re: [Videolib] Symptom Media

[Dorfman, Andrew]

Regis first subscribed to Symptom in 2011, after a free trial.  As you might 
expect, the site is used mainly by our nursing school.  When it came time to 
renew the subscription, I talked with the group who originally recommended the 
purchase and they were all in favor of renewing.  My only gripe with 
administering the site is that Symptom doesn't provide a way to measure usage 
statistics.  I can't really critique the content because health care is way out 
of my comfort range, but the site has been reliable and I don't remember ever 
fielding a complaint.

Get your interested faculty on board with a free trial and then set the trial 
up for a time period where faculty have the time to put the site through its 
paces.  If you have any other questions, email me.

The really good news is that Jessica Hammond will be replacing me. Jessica has 
been with The Video Project since 2010, has attended several Markets and has 
served on the NMM Board of Directors. Jessica will bring new energy and fresh

It has been a pleasure to work with you over the last 10 years. I thank you for

[Videolib] Title suggestions: Generational differences in the workplace?

[Dorfman, Andrew]

A belated happy new year to everyone...

A week or two ago, there was a title question regarding nurses in film.  This 
morning, I received an inquiry from a nursing instructor looking for a video 
related to generational differences in the workplace.  I think she's looking 
for something general and not specific to the medical field because she said 
she once used Generations at Work.  A title search on World Cat revealed 
nothing titled Generations at Work but it did provide a number of alternative 
titles.   Before I look into purchasing something, I'm wondering if anyone in 
the community has any specific recommendations.  Any insight would be much 
appreciated.  Thanks,

Andy

Re: [Videolib] great courses

[Dorfman, Andrew]

A few years ago, we received a donation of pretty much the entire library of 
great courses.  They are quite popular and a limited number of faculty find 
them useful.  For the most part, it's students and special borrowers who 
actually check them out.

It's also important to note that many of these are audio-only CDs and, indeed, 
those are our most popular GC titles.  They're always in demand during campus 
down times when faculty, staff and students are traveling.  As far as I can 
tell, they're not used in the classroom.

They are indeed talking heads, but I think they are pretty darn good ones-our 
patrons consistently rate them highly. Essentially they are taped university 
course lectures. Most likely not meant for academic libraries, given that they 
would be competing for your own professors' classes, but that's their problem!

And basically a substitute  for a teacher, rather than a supplementbut am I

Do any of you purchase them for your collectionsthey are often like 20 - ½

Re: [Videolib] recommendation for films

[Dorfman, Andrew]

If she really wants something students have already seen I'd suggest any number 
of Mad Men episodes.  Of course, it's the '60's so there's not a whole lot of 
subtlety.

Hello CW,



I have a faculty member teaching Women and Writing this Fall and she would like 
to show a film with these parameters:



..maybe a film they have seen before or a more subtle indictment of the sexism 
faced by both females and males.  One of my favorite quotes from an essay is 
that while women are seen as sex objects, men are seen as success objects.  I 
guess I am trying to find a film that shows this dynamic.



I suggested von Trier, Lynch and Labute (since they always get criticized on 
these issues).  I also suggested Film Noir in general, and of course, Disney 
films.  Other suggestions would be welcome.



Thanks

Re: [Videolib] Snapshot of highest used videos

[Dorfman, Andrew]

I'm fairly new to this list and have been lurking a bit until I could chime 
in with something of value.  8 ½ is actually in our list of top 50 circulating 
feature films.   Our top 10 circulating titles include:

Scenes From a Marriage
Gallipoli
Magnum Force (really?)
The Deer Hunter
Goya's Ghosts
Like Water for Chocolate
The Godfather
Annie Hall
The Untouchables
Au Revoir les Enfants

Citizen Kane does make our top 50 if we only count single copies.  Factoring in 
multiple copies probably drops it into the top 70.  Another interesting tidbit 
is that after about 15 months on our shelves, The Hangover is firmly ensconced 
in our top 20.

We did this in 2010, primarily in order to help me with the process of deciding 
on items to upgrade to DVD.  Stats were for circs since 2004 when we switched 
our ILS.  The results were a bit surprising to me at first -- our highest 
circulated item to that point was a a VHS copy of Annenberg's CHILDHOOD AND 
ADOLESCENCE, which had circulated 103 times.  But then I realized, unlike Deg's 
situation, our stats *did* include both standard circs and reserve circs, and 
that item had been used a ton for course reserve.  Next highest were also VHS 
-- AMERICAN TONGUES and a segment of THE STORY OF ENGLISH, again, frequent 
reserve items.

The top DVDs were all feature films, topped by A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, THE 
GODFATHER, PT. 2, and BLADE RUNNER.

So do you have more hope for the world now, Gary, with those top three?  
Forrest Gump was 24th on our list. ;)

 An interesting bit of data (I think)

 A couple weeks ago I found myself wondering, for no apparent reason, what our 
 most used videos are.  So I asked our head of Access Services (Circulation) 
 to run a list for me.  From a list of all the videos in all the locations in 
 ASU Libraries, she generated a list of the top 250 titles by total 
 circulation.

 The list is all circulation (minus Reserve use)  since we changed to a new 
 online system 15 years ago.  It does not differentiate between video formats. 
  That could be done but we did not do so in this investigation.

 The resulting list does not include Reserve use because it's stored elsewhere 
 in the system and cannot be extracted by title.  Titles with multiple copies 
 held in different libraries are not aggregated into a single count.  So 
 multiple copies of Still Killing Us Softly (and some other titles) appear 
 twice on the list.

 But the results are interesting even so.

 Of 250 titles, more than half (60+%) are feature films  -  151

 * The most borrowed title is Still Killing us Softly (419 circs if you
 aggregate the copies, 218 for one copy)
 * The most borrowed Feature Film:  Forest Gump (310)
 * The lowest circ of the top 250 titles is 95 uses.

 Anyone else run data like this?
