[Videolib] Video captioning services
I am a member of our college's Accessibility Team and we are trying to become more section 503 compliant. We are looking into companies that caption videos-some videos have been made by faculty, some are commercial videos. Does anyone have a recommendation(s), especially for companies that are more reasonably priced, but still good quality? The college has also purchased software that will caption videos that will be created locally. You can respond to me off list, if it would be easier. jbl...@btc.ctc.edu<mailto:jbl...@btc.ctc.edu> Thank you.

Re: [Videolib] For promotional use only * Not for Broadcast...?
I contacted the Nursing Department to find out how they had received a copy of the DVD. A representative from NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness) Whatcom brought it when she came to speak to one of our classes. She gave the DVD to me and said we could show it to our students. I can't recall her name but here is some contact info on the local chapter: Health Support Center 1212 Indian Street Bellingham 671-4950 n...@healthsupportcenter.org<mailto:n...@healthsupportcenter.org>. It is still available for sale from PBS for $19.99. When you watch the video, there are no notices about it being for promotional use only. It is only on the actual DVD. I hope this information helps. Maybe our best solution would be to purchase a copy since it is inexpensive.

Jessica -EMRO reviewers are provided a documents that says films can be kept or donated to the library, unless the distributer specifically notes otherwise. I've only run into one film that came with a sticker that noted it was a review copy only - I didn't donate this to the library. I totally agree that knowing the origins of the copy is key. In my other life I review screeners for a film festival. In this case, the festival has a statement on the submission site that says that we will destroy screener copies after review. I imagine in a lot of cases reviewers have agreed to some kind of terms that dictate what can be done with a review copy.

I admit when I see PBS I tend to think of this a review copy for broadcast which is COMPLETELY different. A review copy for broadcast or theatrical screenings are not in fact "legal" copies that can be resold. It would clearly be absurd to claim previews of films sent to critics long before there is a legit release of the title ( assuming there is one) are legal copies and if fact studios have successfully taken action against people who did try to sell such copies. In general review copies are so heavily marked up with " For Preview /Review" purposes only" that I can't imagine any library would actually put one in a collection. I know that a number of people on this listserv do reviews for EMRO or Videolib and I doubt it is their belief that the review copy they are sent can be donated to their collections particularly if as they likely do have screener warnings on them. In general things are far more lax with screeners sent to critics for video release. Many have no warning at all on the physical copy and most companies are not going to freak out over someone reselling a retail screener on eBay but I do know of two cases where critics were cut off from further screeners when it was discovered that they not only sold them on eBay, the sold them weeks prior to the release date. Basically you need to know something about a copy's origins before you add it to a collection, including is the title legally available on the home market. I can't believe you would claim that a screener sent to a newspaper critic to review say THE HUNGER GAMES is a legit copy that can be added to a collection ( and I am not saying you are, I am just trying to clarify the issue).

Depression: Out of the Shadows One of our nursing instructors gave us this PBS DVD to add to collection. On the front of the DVD it states: For Promotional Use Only * Not for Broadcast. Our cataloger mentioned she had not seen this on a DVD before. I've watched it and looked on the website and cannot find any other words of caution/wisdom/insight. It is 2 hours long, not a promotional type of length. I am assuming the "Not for Broadcast" means no PPR. Is this correct? We are a little stymied by the "For Promotional Use Only". Do we need to ask the instructor how she obtained it? Is it OK to add to our circulating collection? Thank you all for your collective wisdom in advance.

[Videolib] Blu-Ray vs. DVD players for training videos
My media person and I are meeting with the AV consultants for a new building this afternoon. I need your collective wisdom. Our college is a small, two-year technical college. The library purchases very few non-technical media. We mainly purchase industrial training or health related media. We still have many VHS tapes. We are systematically updating them, but we refuse and cannot afford to purchase a DVD that is the same the same as the VHS tape. For example: Ohms Law has not changed in that last several hundred years. We have also subscribed to some streaming media such as the Health Collection from Films On Demand. Our AV consultant spec'd out a Blu-Ray/VCR combo, but it is no longer available. They have proposed just a Blu-Ray player with a no VHS. We are thinking that a DVD/VHS unit with several Blu-Ray players that can use an input on the Extron controller would be more appropriate for our use. But we want to be forward thinking. We keep telling the AV consultant to design for the future. For example, we had to fight for HDMI. Do you see our type of training media going to Blu-Ray in the near future? Thanks for your input.

Re: [Videolib] Snapshot of highest used videos
I too am new to this list. I have been lurking and especially appreciate all of the copyright expertise that people are so willing to share. Our top 20 circulating video list is quite different because we are a technical college. Our interpersonal communications course, nursing and allied health, ESL, and safety emphasis is reflected. "And the Band Played On" is the only feature film in the top 20. HIV educational package. Fish! : catch the energy, release the potential! Personal accountability & the QBQ. And the band played on.

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?
