Re: [Videolib] Textbooks & Copyright

[Haller, Dorcas W.]

I don't understand this question. If the library purchases a book and lends it 
out, does that "affect the market"? How would lending material "break copyright 
law"? If the library *owns* the material, it is free to lend it as it wishes. 
Usually libraries purchase material for the *express* purpose of lending it out.

Furthermore, isn't our first duty to our patrons and not to "the market"? 
Otherwise we'd be working in book/media stores.

...  My question is if I purchase the DVDs doesn't it effect the market? 
Students will buy the textbook, but will use the library DVDs instead of buying 
them. So isn't the library breaking the copyright law?

Re: [Videolib] Course Reserve Guidelines

[Haller, Dorcas W.]

It doesn't matter if almost all your DVDs are Region 1. Region 1 and Region 2 
(all regions, in fact) DVDs can BOTH be played on an all-region player. That's 
why it's "all-region".  They're not very expensive. You can probably get a good 
one for $100 or less. If you get one with a built-in converter it automatically 
adjusts for PAL or NTSC. I highly recommend it for those times when you can 
only provide a foreign region disk.

Jessica,

Yes, you've hit every nail on the head in terms of my concerns. There's nothing 
I'd disagree with in your reply and I hope you didn't think I was trying to get 
around the issue. I was more looking for something authoritative I could send 
to the professor other than the Librarian's word as we do not yet have official 
course reserve guidelines explicitly spelled out for me to easily point to. As 
for acquiring a region 2 player, I've brought it up a few times without getting 
much traction although it's probably been due to the fact that the VAST 
majority of required titles we use can be had as region 1 discs. Having said 
that, the school is poised to move into a brand new facility in the next couple 
of months which sounds like the perfect time to me to try to get at least one 
multi-region player we can use. Anyway, thanks for the reply. Best regards.

Josh

I will say I am not sure why a Film School does not have any way to show region 
two copy. The majority of computers can and multi system players are CHEAP. 
Can't you either buy a player or just tell the students to see if they can play

Oddly Dorcas the fact that this could merely be a copy sold to another party 
never ocurred to me. I assumed it was a screener gone astray but indeed absent 
an explicit agreement not to sell or donate ( and I don't know anyone who does 
do this currently) you are free to donate or sell any legal copy.
Right of First Sale is pretty much absolute.

Did you sell it? (Do you *only* sell to libraries?)
Once you've sold it, the owner (buyer) can do what s/he wants with it -- keep 
it, give it away, or discard it. If I buy a book, it is *my* property. I can 
keep it, I can donate it to a library, I can give it to a friend, I can throw 
it away. 
Even if you only sell your films to libraries, a library may decide at a later 
date to withdraw the film from its collection.  It is conceivable that the 
library may ask if another library is interested in having it before getting 
rid of it completely. 
I don't see how you can expect to control your product once you have sold it. 
The only way you can do that is not to sell it.

She says:



I am teaching a writing course and the theme is classical music/music in the

Elia Kazan's Face in the Crowd is a terrific early indictment of

Bye Bye Birdie is sort of cool for both its gentle send-up of rock n' roll

Network and Broadcast News are good movie looks at TV.  The Truman Show

I personally love the film "Sleep Dealer".  It sounds like it touches on
all three topics.

Here is the description from Amazon:

The place: Mexico. The time: The near future. Memo Cruz has always
dreamed of leaving his tiny village and heading north to a big city
where he can work in a modern, high-tech factory. Finally, his dream
becomes a reality...and his reality becomes a nightmare! Memo finds
himself in a terrifyingly bizarre world of border walls, shanty towns,
high-tech factories, remote control drones and aqua-terrorists a world
of tomorrow that will soon be today! Winner of two prestigious awards at
 the Sundance Film Festival, and nominated for both the Gotham Awards
and Independent Spirit Awards, this groundbreaking film has been praised
 by critics and audiences alike.

Re: [Videolib] Film Festival Submissions

[Haller, Dorcas W.]

Oh, let's back up a minute.



Here's what Angel originally wrote:



I was wondering if any of you could give me a bit of direction.



Our Media Center recently received the 2007-2011 submissions from the Rhode 
Island International Film Festival.  We have a Film Program here and we're the 
state college, so it makes sense.  We'd like to catalog these items and add 
them to the circulating collection (there are over 500 from all over the world, 
most are not in WorldCat).  Do we need the permission of the film creator to do 
this?  It did not say anything on the submission paperwork about works being 
given to us after the festival as it was just decided, (we're going to fix that 
for next year).  The submission contract is the usual boilerplate, allowing the 
festival rights to screen and no obligation to return.  We're not going to copy 
these items, or have screenings, the films will only be for educational and 
entertainment use.



There is the possibility we could contact *most* of the submitters, however, if 
it's not necessary we would prefer to make the changes to the future submission 
process and go from there.



I'd appreciate any pointers you could share.



It appears that RIIFF gave the submitted films to URI to keep - perhaps as a 
kind of archive? Perhaps this donation was unsolicited? Angel's right, it does 
make sense to keep the submissions at the state university, if the festival 
folks are thinking of preserving/archiving the films. Angel states that the 
contract allows for the festival to screen the films and there's no obligation 
to return the films. The university clearly doesn't have the right to screen 
the films and I think adding them to the circulating collection sounds 
problematic. However, the university does have a film program, and perhaps - 
after getting permission from the film-makers - the library could catalog the 
films and make them available on a room-use-only basis.



Obviously the film-makers enter and show their work at festivals in the hopes 
of attracting distributors. They also want their work seen by the general 
public, that's why tickets are sold to the general public. The films are not 
for distributors' eyes only. If they were, why have public film festivals? 
Having the films seen by students at a university with a film program, on a 
restricted basis in the library, might be a very beneficial thing, for both the 
students and the film-makers.



As a librarian, I understand the desire to archive and preserve the submissions 
for research, study and historical record. What better place than at a state 
university library's AV department?



What do other film festivals do with submissions?

Two weeks ago Angel asked for advice if she can use 500 Preview DVDs that Rhode 
Island IFF passed on to her library, I wrote my advice privately by e-mail I 
did not get a response neither did I notice a response from her to all the 
advice that appeared on this blog.

So I wrote a second e-mail asking Angel to send $ 500 to Erez Laufer films as 2 
of the DVDS were Preview DVDS I sent to RIIFF "The Darien Dilemma" & "Rafting 
to Bombay", ($250 is the catalogue price for Library use with Public 
Performance Rights) of course she can tell me that she destroyed those DVDs, my 
advice was destroy all.



I must remark, that these days the business of distributing films is done by 
e-mails, it is a business of trust, I trust my clients and I'm sure they trust 
me, I use short, mostly impersonal mails without too many explanations, who 
wants to get a preview with a 22 page contract? So all I "say" in the e-mail is 
I'm sending you a Preview DVD.

With an understanding what a preview is, that it is a preview. Only a preview, 
just so the Festival will know if they want the film or not. It is not a 
present, a free copy, or a legal "first sale" any use other than as a preview 
is a break of trust, and what RIIFF has done is unforgivable .

Maybe it is legal (I don't think so) but it stinks I believe if this news goes 
around nobody will ever send a preview to RIIFF, I will not they have shot 
their own leg.

I'm sending Previews not only to Film Festivals, also film Series, TV Stations, 
Cinemas. Community Centers, newspapers (for reviews) and occasionally a 
professor will ask for a preview so to see if s/he wants it for the library to 
buy. I will continue to send Previews for I trust People specially librarians,

Re: [Videolib] unsecured AV in open access area

[Haller, Dorcas W.]

Here at the inner city (Providence) campus of the Community College of Rhode 
Island we have 2700+ DVDs and videos - both documentaries and feature films. We 
also have a collection of about 350 music CDs - jazz, classical, blues/folk, 
and world music. All our AV materials are on open shelves. We have had very 
little theft. AV materials circulate for a week at a time and can be renewed, 
so there's not much reason to steal the material. We also circulate our AV 
materials to the entire Rhode Island HELIN (Higher Education Library 
Information Network) consortium, which includes Brown, Bryant University, 
Johnson & Wales University,  Providence College, Rhode Island College, Roger 
Williams University, Salve Regina University, the University of Rhode Island, 
and Wheaton College.

While theft is not a big problem, it's sometimes a problem getting folks to 
return the material on time. At least when it's checked out, we have a record 
in the database and can bill for late material. (About 4 years ago we had a 
student check out 40 DVDs over the course of a week or so (we had no limit on 
borrowing), and he never returned them. A number of them showed up for sale on 
the street, and were returned to us by folks who had bought them. Of course, we 
billed the student and put holds on his records at the registrar's office, but 
he has never returned to school, so we'll never see the rest of those films 
again. However, they were all properly checked out to him and not stolen off 
the shelves.)

When we began collecting AV material, we bought 3-M tattle strips, but when we 
ran out we did not buy more. They were unnecessary and expensive.

feature films. Have you lost items in this situation? In what rate (how many

Almost all our CDs are Classical music. Few classic Jazz CDs and some world

Re: [Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films

[Haller, Dorcas W.]

Hi Dave,

I think Jessica means that if the films will be shown to the public (which is 
probably what you're planning), then even if you OWN the film, you will still 
have to get permission to show it.

BTW, we have checked our archives and cannot find any of our old 16mms. Perhaps 
one of the other librarians has already notified you?

Hi Jessica,

Yes, we do have a Public Performance License through Swank which
allows us to work with many films. I do know about many rental co's
and also private collections that can be rented from, but am trying to
pursue the "free" angle at the moment (as we don't have any money!). I
found a large collection stashed away in a library basement recently
and will be working off of that for now!

Thanks,

that the plot of the film centers on a prisoner who escapes  from hard labor

the wife has had a child.

I have poked around some online, but I cannot seem to find anything from the

Re: [Videolib] Where to Keep the DVDs

[Haller, Dorcas W.]

I'm with Christine on this. We keep our DVDs in their cases, on open shelves. 
They used to be near the Circulation desk, but were moved to accommodate a new 
shelving configuration. They are now shelved in the back of the library. We 
have about 1500 films. Our collection includes documentary/educational films, 
feature films in both English and foreign languages, a Shakespeare collection, 
and some children's/family films. Video tapes (which we are phasing out slowly) 
are kept in my office, only because we no longer have room for them on the 
shelves, and they don't go out as much anymore. We have nothing that is really 
valuable or that can't be replaced (perhaps a video or two no longer in print).
I would say we've almost NEVER had anyone steal our DVDs. Why would they? They 
can check them out, and they can renew them - exactly as they can with our 
circulating books. We lend to students, faculty, and staff, as well as to 
community residents. Our DVDs have tattle strips concealed in the cases, so the 
gate alarm will sound if someone does try to walk off with them.

Ours are all on open shelves, nothing is stored "in back". The notion that DVDs

Now, I am not talking about any special collections of rare or ultra expensive 
materials. My motto has been "We buy this stuff for people to use" and I mean 
it.
That said, store your most valuable items in a  place where they can be 
monitored and put everything else out. If you care about circulation and usage 
statistics, you will be amazed at what folks will borrow and/or view if they 
find it by serendipity. Browsing the real thing, instead of browsing through 
the online catalog will prove to be more popular and your community of 
borrowers will appreciate it.

hi again

I'm gonna forward my reply (below) and you query to the list.

in order to stream to the classroom you need a laptop with wireless or IP
network access and you need a projector that will handle digital output
(which is most of them)

Progressive downloads (streaming) is a pain in the ass.  Don't go there!

All that said, I would NEVER (ever) recommend that a faculty person opt
for streamed delivery over DVD.  I consider myself somewhat savvy and
possessing considerable sang froid when it comes to using tech to teach,
and I can tell you from considerable experience that it's always a total
crap shoot--an experience totally dependent on network vagaries and
equipment quirks.

Classes here start at 10 min after the hour, typically, which means you
have 5-10 minutes to run into the class, boot out whomever is in there
milling around from the previous class, whip out your lap top, VGA and
audio cables, find the input box and hook them up, test the sound level,
pray that the projector is working and that the network is not acting
hinky.

Not my idea of a good time.

Subject: Remote Streaming to Classrooms

Newsreel would like to call on the "wisdom of the list" to answer a
technical question. How difficult is it to stream content from a remote
(not campus) server directly into a classroom? Can it be run directly
through a video projector or does it need a laptop with an internet
connection?  What are the potential glitches we might encounter?
Finally, does it make a difference if the content is streamed using real
time (RTMP) or progressive streaming? Please answer off-line to
l...@newsreel.org. Thanks.



If you could tell me how to post this or post it for me, I'd greatly
appreciate it. I have returned from my two week sojourn in Kyoto; many
cherry blossoms, many Zen temples, no post-tsunami stress syndrome. It's
the end of term so we should be able to schedule our long-postponed

[Videolib] African Film: Le Courage des Autres

[Haller, Dorcas W.]

Jen, 

I feel sure this film, by Christian Richard, is the one that your faculty 
member is thinking of. The DVD is apparently available from France, with French 
subtitles, and for Region 2 players. 

When checking in WorldCat, I could only find 2 copies in the US -- the 
University at Albany and the University of Tulsa. The other 12 copies listed 
were in France, Germany, and the UK.

Too bad it's not easily available. It looks very interesting and the fabulous 
Burkinabé actor, Sotigui Kouyaté (see: London River) was in it. 

Good luck,

Hello Jennifer!

I have enjoyed looking through your catalogue of African films, so many 
interesting ones.

I am trying to find the name (and a copy of) a film I saw in Vancouver in the 
80's, early 80's I believe, that was beautifully filmed and amazing as it was a 
feature without a word of dialogue, yet it told the story of villagers being 
captured for the slave trade who are freed during their journey to the port by 
the powers of a shaman who deliberately allows himself to be caught for a time. 
It was a Mali-France co-production. I wonder if you have ever heard of it or if 
you may have any tips on how I can find it.

Many thanks for your consideration of this request!

Subject: [Videolib] name that film noir

Dear Collective Memory,

I am trying to find the title to a film that begins with the camera 
inside a car on a dark and stormy night. The headlights are on and 
the windshield wipers "wipe" the opening credits on and off the 
screen. I can picture it but cannot recall the film. It's not Kiss Me 
Deadly where the characters are in the car with the camera behind 
them, pointing at the windshield and the credits rolling a la Stars Wars.

Any thoughts?

Good Morning,

A faculty member watched a documentary on PBS a few weeks ago. She's
interested in us purchasing it, but can't recall the title.  I'm hoping
someone might recognize it.  Here's her description of the program.

"An American Jewish male who is also fluent in Arabic went to Israel and
Palestine and interviewed 11-12 year old Jewish and Arabic boys about
the relationship of Israel and Palestine.  Eventually, he has two Jewish
boys (twins) meet with some Palestinian boys in Palestine.  At the end
of the documentary, he returns several years later and interviews the
boys when they are 15."

"It's a great documentary because you see how early young people take on
the views of their parents - and what the implications are for the
future in that part of the world."

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi all

An ex-Berkeley faculty friend has posed a very cool reference question...I
can use your help:

I'm looking for examples of films that do interesting
things with words, either written or spoken, or (at the other extreme) try
to do without words. I've got lots of silent films with title cards I can
use, but I am looking for others. Some that come to mind include The Man
with the Movie Camera, My Dinner with Andre, and Koyaanisqatsi. Any
further suggestions? I'm interested in credits, subtitles, words on sets,
dialogue, voiceover, etc.


I've come up with Bob Dylan's lyric cards for Subterranean Homesick Blues
in "Don't Look Back"; the "meta" credits from the movie Stranger Than
Fiction; Buster Keaton in Samuel Beckett's "Film"(1965); and--oddly
enough--two Steve Martin Films (LA Story's sentient freeway sign and C.D.
Bales' [i.e. Cyrano's] hilarious put-down speech: "Let's start with...
Obvious: 'scuse me, is that your nose or did a bus park on your face? ")

I think Adaptation might have some relevant stuff, but I can't quite
remember.

What do you say?
