Re: [Videolib] 16 mm
Lisa, We are being faced with figuring out the same thing with our 16mm film collection. I have been going through each title to see if it has become available online, or in VHS or DVD formats, or if I could locate a copyright holder to gain permission to convert into streamed media. Sometimes they have popped up in Internet.org, or streamed online on other sites, but before relying on these you need to determine whether the streamed site is a legal source, or a stable site which will be maintained in the future. Use should be considered, if you have maintained statistics on the number of 16mm checkouts or any internal use. During that process, I would recommend seeing how frequently a course is offered which might have used it, since not every course is taught each semester, some have two year cycles at our institution. Also, has a faculty member retired that previously used it or are there courses still being taught that might? Conversations with specific departments or colleges on campus might be warranted. As part of our review, we have checked with campus authorities to determine whether we can offer any of these films to other educational institutions, both inside and outside of our state, since technically, these were purchased with state dollars as we are a public institution, and there are restrictions for us on withdrawing our materials. I also looked at our collection for any unique kinds of titles. We have had a few, such as the eruption of Mount Kilauea in Hawaii. I found out a few years ago that the U. S. Geological Survey did not even have a copy of this, so we converted the title into a more usable format, and sent them a copy. The same thing has happened with a few other films, like some older CLIO Award titles which again, they did not have copies, so we converted into more usable format and sent them a copy when they gave us permission to do so. One film had clips of a pre-fire 1919 San Francisco containing a view of the streets, people, and buildings from a moving trolley car perspective. I am thinking we should hang on to these kinds of things, even if they need to go into our Special Collections and Archives collections for retention and safe keeping. Originally, our campus' IT department handled the circulation of these films until they were turned over to our library in 2000. When that happened, they removed most, if not all, of the projectors from their inventory, and dispersed them to faculty/departments on campus who requested them. Over time, I believe these have become a scarce commodity campus-wide. So availability of equipment in a classroom is something that definitely needs to be considered. Going forward, we will have to determine what we will retain, and consider if or how we will circulate these materials given the limited equipment that is available for use and their sometimes fragile conditions. This might not have given you any answers to your questions, but perhaps some food for thought. There are probably numerous other things you might want to take into consideration when thinking about dismantling your 16mm film collection, and hopefully others on this list will send in their thoughts. I would be interested in hearing them. Good luck.

Re: [Videolib] No more DVDs? - OK / Not
I agree with what Gisele has said. Most libraries have fairly flat budgets, and when we spend $350 or more for access to a title for only 1-3 years, we are faced with making choices between films/streaming and the other materials we need to buy for our collection. We are also reviewing our VHS and trying to replace in a newer format when possible. Having rights in perpetuity/life of file is the best option for us when considering what we can purchase to enhance our teaching and learning on campus. Thanks to every vendor who recognizes the need to offer long-term or life of file rights for a reasonable price. Your films will likely be considered for purchase, and then used more frequently, when they are available with a longer-term option.

Re: [Videolib] No more DVDs?
Jonathan, I echo what Farhad has said in regards to our buying power. We purchase streaming rights for our Distance Education program on a limited basis, and rarely purchase streaming for other individual titles. We do not currently have a streaming platform subscription but will be venturing into that area on a small scale in the near future. That being said, we understand that streaming is wonderful for giving students 24/7 access and for faculty to link to in our eLearning system for their classes, but our budget is so tight, that we could not subscribe to several streaming platforms in the hopes that one of them would have what our faculty and students need. We do still purchase in DVD format and I do not anticipate we will stop doing so in the future.

Re: [Videolib] preferred streaming service
Shashwati, Our university also has the capability to host streaming on our campus servers. We rarely purchase streaming that is hosted on an off-campus site. We prefer in perpetuity since that allows us to direct our limited resources to the purchase of other needed library materials. As Deg stated, you do not have to limit to one source for your streaming. Offering a variety of access methods widens the audience who might wish to stream your titles.

Re: [Videolib] managing copies of DVDs sent out for closed captioning
If our library or the SDS Office (Student Disability Services) has to spend money to have captions added, we are going to retain that captioned video for the 'just in case' future students needs. I always ask permission and cite the ADA when requesting that permission. I have never been denied permission to make a captioned copy. Some copyright owners have actually sent a digital transcription file so we could more easily make our own copy. What we are now considering is where to retain the captioned DVDs. We are not considering putting them into our general circulating video collection, since it was a copy that we requested permission to caption for the use of a student(s) with needs. Also, our thinking is if we send it to the SDS office, we have lost control over a copy that should not be widely circulated. We are discussing where to retain in our library, but are considering putting a note in our bibliographic or item record that says we have a captioned copy that can be requested for use through the SDS Office. That way it can be discoverable and other faculty and patrons in need can formally request it through SDS. This also allows SDS to keep track of any information in whatever way they need to. Also, due to patron confidentiality, we would not want to know the patron's name so privacy can be maintained through the SDS Office. Someone at a Library Service Desk assisting a patron would be able to see this information in the records and could be referred to SDS. SDS would contact our Library and we would have the captioned disc sent to their office, thereby maintaining the student's confidentiality. I don't think there is a perfect solution on how to handle captioning and captioned videos, but we are striving to take into consideration several factors: it is a copy we specifically requested permission to caption, we maintain for use by future identified students with needs, and we make it discoverable so others are aware a captioned copy exits. I am definitely interested in learning how other libraries are handling these materials.

I'm striking out as far as finding something more recent that gives an in-depth examination of Nielsen ratings, which doesn't necessarily surprise me -- if I'm overlooking something, I would love to hear about it! What does surprise me are my difficulties in finding something up-to-date that goes over how television shows are produced. I'm not seeing anything prior to 2000 that would fit the bill, and even that would be too old.

I thought there might be an 'extra' feature on a dvd television season that might be helpful, but those are harder to search for given their lack of indexing, and I'm also running into the same issue of not seeing one that is more comprehensive.

Re: [Videolib] Question regarding library strategies for providing accessibility to audiovisual materials
Hello. I am the person responsible for locating closed-captioned, subtitled, or transcripts for titles that are requested by faculty through our campus' Student Disabilities Services office. Faculty are supposed to alert SDS as soon as they have a student with special needs who is enrolled in their specific course. SDS then contacts me to see if we already own a copy of the title in our collection that has suitable access for the student. If not, then I track down the publisher/distributor/etc. to ask if they have a captioned or subtitled version or a transcript available. If not, I ask them if they have a digital file of the title that we could use to add captioning to it. Sometimes it takes a lot of detective work to track down the right source that might hold that transcript. If not, then we ask our campus' IT Department to convert the video into digital media, and then that file is sent to our SDS office who works with some companies to add captioning to the digital file. It is then either used as a captioned digital file or a captioned DVD is made from that file. We have restrictions on the use of that converted material so that only the student with an identified need can have access to it. Currently, our SDS office handles this part, but there is ongoing discussion about how the captioned material will be made available to the identified student and where they should go to obtain it. We are still developing all of the steps involved in this process, but that is how we have handled requests so far. When I contact the publisher/distributor/producer/director/etc., I make sure to tell them that we understand that the ADA guidelines permit us to make a digital file for a student with needs, but I emphasis that it will be restricted to only those types of uses and will not be placed in our circulating collection. Everyone I have contacted for availability of digital files and/or transcripts has been more than willing to work with us so we end up with a captioned copy. We had some protracted negotiations with our library and the SDS office on who was going to pay for the cost of all this, but have basically settled that for the present. Our library's cost contribution at this time is in the amount of time it takes me to follow through with all the correspondence and the logistics of getting the file into digital format to caption. Any of these processes may change as we work through this, but for now, the 8-10 requests we have received have been handled so that the student with needs has access to the same media materials others do for that particular course. For our faculty, both myself and the SDS office stress to that it takes time to make this happen, so the earlier they identify resources for their class syllabus and identify media materials the better chance we have of getting a captioned version in time for the student's use. There is no way we can afford to caption every single video title in our collection, so it is being done currently on an as-requested basis. Let me know if you have any further questions or need any clarification. This can be a daunting task if you have never had to provide the captioned format, but in most cases, I believe it can be done. Good luck.

Re: [Videolib] License agreements/keeping track/academic libs
Sarah, I handle determining what rights are available for our videos and acquiring license agreements which are then reviewed by the Head of our Technical Services Department who works closely with the University's lawyer to reach terms we can agree to. These license agreements are scanned and made available online to library staff for future reference. We do keep track of licensing for PPR and streaming rights if we have purchased them for a *specific period of time*. This information is put into the order records when the order is placed through our Technical Services department. They also attach either a checkin record to use as a Tickler File, or they can put a note in the order record which will alert them when the license is about to expire. We use the Innovative library system. If we order something with rights in perpetuity, that information is also put into the online cataloging record so our patrons know what venues they may be used in. I keep track of rights in an Excel spreadsheet by title, and it is maintained on a shared space on my computer so that our Access Services Department can see the details for anything we have licensed if they have questions from the patrons. Staff also come to me to decipher the rights when they cannot figure them out by our online information. Hope this helps a little.

Re: [Videolib] 16mm Distributors
Hi, Johanna, We are in the midst of a project to determine what to do with our 16mm films. I use the software FileMakerPro to keep track of the films we have that are not in our online catalog. (It's a long story about how all these ended up at the Library...). Anyway, I have a student assistant who went through each title searching for either DVD or VHS format availability, or even YouTube (although that is highly likely to not be a stable, dependable source). I also had her check WorldCat and/or OhioLink to see what other libraries had holdings for these films to assist us in making retention decisions. I instructed my student to get as creative as possible when searching the web to locate these titles. Needless to say, we didn't find a large number that were available for purchase in a newer format. Now I will follow behind my student assistant and see what I can think of. When we have exhausted that whole process, we will have to make decisions on whether the content is valuable enough that we would want to make an in-house use only copy on DVD. Then we will have to figure out what to do with the actual films we do not want to maintain. I have been keeping my eyes and ears out for discussions on what others are doing, and have located a couple of sources that would probably take them off our hands, but we would have to figure out the shipping, etc. Perhaps a grant of some kind? Not sure. It seems a terrible waste of potentially valuable resources for our faculty and students to not have access to, but it is what it is, and we have to figure out how to deal with it. I'm always looking for tips myself on how others are managing these collections.

Re: [Videolib] Help on licensing contract for streaming rights
Jessica, A distance education course is exactly that. Attended at a distance. Students who do not live on campus, but who pay the same amount of money (and in some cases even extra fees) expect to receive the same quality education as our on-campus students do. Whether a student is in the same town, state, country, or across the ocean, if they are a registered student, and need to view a film that is required by their professor, and we have paid for the ability to stream that film (within the constrictions of using a password-protected environment), we would be doing a disservice to those distance education students by restricting their access if we are able to provide it to them. We also have students who are enrolled that take a combination of online versus face-to-face courses during the same semester who travel quite a distance to come to campus for a required class that might meet once a semester. If a login is required, it is quite possible that the password could be changed on the buyers/campus end on a semester or yearly basis, so only those currently enrolled students for a semester can access. There is no absolute way to safeguard the viewing (over the shoulder or by sharing the login information with someone not affiliated with the campus), but the frequency of password changing would alleviate a widespread use over an extended period of time. We regularly purchase 3-year streaming rights for our distance education instructors, who give access to their students via an eLearning system, which is of course, password-protected. These require a password change every academic year. A campus who can supply streaming video in a frequently changed password-protected environment have done as much as anyone can do to protect their product. When you try to restrict to locations rather than enrolled students, our institutions are placed at a disadvantage when trying to attract a diversified student body, who may choose to gain some of their learning, at a distance. Just my opinion, and I would certainly be interested in other libraries views on this subject.

I have two new docs where I am working with directors so they own all rights in perpetuity. The standard language I have used for selling lifetime streaming rights says it is to be on password protected system available to students, faculty and staff. One thing I want to add is the word current to make it clear that this not for access by alumni, retired professors or staff, but the other concern is trickier. It is understood that schools have distance learning that they want to use these films for but I am wondering how far that distance can be. I have no issue with a school that teaches courses in their immediate area but I am worried about say a school in CA, streaming it to a student in New York. My bigger concern is schools with programs in other countries. The two films in question ( and I am not mentioning them to avoid shilling) would have major interest abroad. Most of you know I am not much of a techie so exactly how far is the reach for some of you and how are the passwords doled out? Is there a single password for everyone for a particular semester or passwords for particular courses? Again the directors own worldwide rights and if there is a safe way to limit LONG DISTANCE use to just a small group for specific classes they would likely be OK but having folks in London or 3,000 miles away with a password to access there film might freak them out. I should add that I have little faith in students not to share passwords and zero in faculty. Sorry for the length and you can respond on or off list.

I read that to mean that an unused copy is not being marketed or readily available for sale. Your library may want to go beyond just checking the marketplace and try to contact the copyright holder to see if a replacement copy is available. Either way, you should be able to replace your current copy (either with one you can purchase, or by making a copy). If you transfer to a DVD, 108 states that the copy cannot be circulated to the public outside of the library.

Re: [Videolib] captured news video on vhs: worth transferring to dvd?
I would question the legality and possible copyright infringement on maintaining videos recorded off of television, even if they were kept in-house and not circulated outside of the Library. I know from dealing with PBS in the past, that they have a time-limit on the length of time you may retain a recorded program from their station for educational use, unless they held all of the copyright for the program. I would suspect that stations such as NBC, CBS, etc. would not be amendable to these titles being taped and retained for public consumption. Just my two cents...

Re: [Videolib] Accessibility and Visual Impairment
We are currently grappling with this issue, but on two documentary films not feature films. It's a complex discussion and there is not a lot of documentation out there to rely on. The first thing I did was contact the copyright holders to find out whether they would give us permission to close-caption their titles. Both were very willing to allow us to do this, and one requested as part of their permission to have us send them a copy when we had it captioned. One had a transcript available, the other did not. We are now trying to determine if we should do this in-house or use a captioning service. If we do it in-house, the captioning would not be able to be turned off, which changes the viewing for everyone. We are also thinking about whether we should purchase additional copies if we decide to do this in-house, and of course, debating on who would fund all of this: us, or Student Disabilities Services. So lots of issues to resolve, and in our case, not a lot of time to figure it all out. Once we have determined how we are going to proceed, I can post something to the list about what we figured out.

On media use:
“you can talk about forcing faculty to reserve in advance all you
want; you can try to predict probable forthcoming need based on past
use patterns. It's still a crap shoot. “
On unversity administrators;
“You're boss is sorely deluded...Hers is, I'm afraid, the kind of
bubbly administratorspeak that's based less on insight and real
knowledge and more on on buzz and other ill-gotten notions picked up
banging around the infosphere...”
“I think there is an almost universal perception (outside of our small
professional clique) that the specialization is no longer really
needed (if it ever was). This, of course, is utter bushwah...but
tell that to administrators closely watching the bottom line. ”
“Where to start? So much stupidity, so little time to vent...”
On multi-region machines:
“Get another Senior Purchasing agent...or have her (him) show you the
law that says these machines are illegal.”
On streaming media:
“Again, my major concern in all of this is the potential of sliding
toward the procrustean...the tendency to cut of the head and the feet
to match the size of the bed.”
“By the way, in my experience, students don't really give a two-penny
damn about image quality, in most instances. These are folks (like my
daughter) who will watch a 90 minute feature film on their iPhones. “
“I think it is becoming increasingly common for technology to dictate
content, and that's a really nasty direction to take. Library

Re: [Videolib] Need suggestions/feedback on wording of streaming licenses.
Jessica, So glad you asked! We always ask about public performance rights in a non-theatrical venue. We currently prefer the term 'in perpetuity' whenever it is offered and available. We have a couple other viewing options we regularly inquire about besides normal streaming rights: Closed-circuit use (i.e., Blackboard, WebCT, etc.) use. This is also in a password-protected environment, where the faculty teaching a class uses this online tool to post assignments, urls, videos. Some of our faculty are moving to online only classes, so everything gets put up there, including grades. This closed-circuit use is heavilty used by our distance education students, so it is important that we inquire into this option. We also regularly ask if the video can be used on a cable-casting network, where our university has access to an educational channel which can be viewed by community members outside of the university area who subscribe through the cable provider. Some vendors permit us to do this as long as we post how a video of the program can be purchased and their 800 telephone number. So, you may want to be prepared to field these types of queries within your licensing.

I really don't think they need more than a basic license/ agreement of a few sentences to the effect that purchasing institution has streaming rights in perpetuity ( this sounds better than lifetime to me as that implies issues with format changes but would like to here reactions on that) but that access is limed to active students, faculty and staff on a password protected system. The license generally also includes rights for an campus public showings provided no admission is charged and the screening is not directly publicized off campus. Also a restriction that no additional physical copies will be made ( no problem replacing lost or damaged copies at a nominal fee). Last thing is that streaming and exhibition rights are limited to the purchasing institution ( in other words you can let the physical copy go out on interlibrary loan but of course the borrowing institution can not stream or exhibit it). I have two general issues. Does this cover everything you would want and does it sound TOO simple? Basically these guys own all the rights so they don't mind adjusting things on a case by case basis. I also work on films with a traditional time limit but other than changing the wording to reflect the time frame should that license have more details? -- Jessica Rosner Media Consultant 224-545-3897 (cell) 212-627-1785 (land line) jessicapros...@gmail.com VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions.

Re: [Videolib] Public Performance Rights in Academic Libraries
OK, here's my scenario: The Library owns a title on dvd. A faculty member in the past, has checked this dvd out and shown it in its entirety to his class in a face-to-face environment. He now wants to stream the title over our e-Learning system, in it's entirety. Can we have our IT department convert this to streaming media and then mount it in our e-Learning system, for currently enrolled students in their class, without asking for permission from the copyright holder to convert the format to digital? The argument I am faced with is 'I can use this in my classroom (face-to-face) in its entirety, so I should be able to do this in our online teaching system'. I understand you can show clips in face-to-face and inside an e-Learning system, but can you stream the entire film in this venue, without getting permission? I feel like I should know this and be confident about my response, but I find I second-guessing myself. I always lean towards the philosophy that it is better to get permission than to do something that may be against copyright. Thanks in advance for your comments. And Michael, thanks for the web-tool!

[Videolib] Conversion of 8mm. 16mm, beta and 3/4 umatic titles
Hello, All. Our library received a fairly large number of 8mm and 16mm films, along with some beta and 3/4 umatic videos. I have done a sweep of these some time ago to try to locate vhs or dvd formats to purchase. My question has to do with those I could not locate in another format to purchase. Can we make dvd copies of these titles under Section 108, in either the Preservation or Replacement sections? I understand that if we can make copies, the copies cannot circulate, but must be in-library use only. Are there other restrictions involved? Must we retain the original formats if copies are made? If so, why? Is there somewhere these older formats could be sent so we don't just end up tossing them? (The cost of shipping may be prohibitive, given the weight of some of these films). What have others done with these types of formats? We are getting tight on space and some decisions will have to be made regarding these older formats in the near future. Thanks for any and all responses, they are very much appreciated!

Re: [Videolib] (Electronic) Ordering: Media
Philip, We currently use GOBI, but videos are the exception. I developed an in-house form to use which has all of the information on it as far as cost, public performance (paid and educational), video streaming, distance ed, and cablecasting rights, along with information regarding whether licenses are required and additional costs involved. It also has the notes that need to be included in the cataloging record regarding rights. This information goes to our Technical Services ordering and cataloging staff so they have the whole picture in front of them when they handle it, and they understand which rights we want included with the purchase. If you are just interested in the purchase of feature films, which usually come with no rights other than home and classroom use, then perhaps an online method would work for those. I do have the form in electronic format (Word, I think) if you would like a copy sent to you. Jeanne Little Rod Library University of Northern Iowa On 3/25/2011 2:30 PM, Bahr, Philip wrote: We are in the middle of several discussions here at Fairfield University that center around electronic ordering. First, we are investigating an approval system. We currently distribute Choice cards to Faculty and send the approved ones over to our Acquisitions Department. This has been done manually with print Choice cards. Since we are thinking about an electronic approval system (GOBI is on our short list), we are also trying to figure out what to do with the exceptions. Currently we fill out print order cards when requests come in. We're thinking of creating a generic order form for our website that can be integrated with Millennium(our ILS). Since a huge amount of my job is Media Collection Development, I thought I'd query the list to hear how other institutions work. As you all know, a lot of my ordering will be from smaller video distribution companies. How do you handle those orders that can't be processed through a large vendor like Baker and Taylor? For instance when a faculty member wants a DVD from Icarus or Bullfrog, do you just forward the link from the film distributor's website to your acquisitions people? Or do you have to fill out a form? Is it online? Did you create the form in-house or do you use one from your ILS? Thanks so much for any light you can shed on this.

Help.
I am looking to purchase a replacement for our no longer viewable vhs
copy of "Hirohito: Japan in the 20th Century", put out by Films for the
Humanities in 1993.
I have searched the web and some of my other sources but haven't found
anything. I have an email out to Films Media but thought I would ask the
'collective wisdom' on this list to see if anyone has any ideas?
We would consider another vhs if dvd format is not available.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

Re: [Videolib] notice to faculty re video/dvd acquisitions
Rhonda, We used to put faculty requester information into our order records when they asked us to purchase titles, and then when it was received and cataloged, a postcard/email was sent to them announcing it's arrival. Now that we are faced with patron confidentiality issues, we felt we could no longer place their names in order records that many staff see. We stopped notifying at that time. We do produce a 'new title' list each month that is available from our library's main home page. If a library liaison was involved, they work directly with the faculty and may watch to see when a requested item has been received and then send them an email announcement. Usually what I tell faculty that call and speak directly with me is that when the order has been placed, they will find the title in our online opac with a status of 'on order'. Once they see that record in the system, they can contact our circulation desk and they can place a hold on the item for them. After the item has been received, the status gets changed by our cataloging staff to read 'one copy being processed". It will only be a short time later that it should be available for use. And if they have asked for a hold to be placed, they will be notified by our circulation staff that it is available at the desk for them to checkout. I think they will hold it for three days and then it goes on to the shelf for the rest of our patrons. Hope this helps.

Re: [Videolib] Need advice on pricing tech specs for streaming rights
Jessica, Would there be a different price for a library who already owns the dvd and wants to purchase streaming rights? Also, I have to put this out there: our library does not consider streaming rights (or at least very rarely) for less than in perpetuity, not only due to the additional costs involved for renewing after a specific term of use is done, but also because we do not have any mechanisms in place to automatically alert us to the fact a term is expiring. If a professor needed a title streamed for a one-time use, we would expect to purchase this at a much reduced cost. We can provide server space, but our IT department may charge us for the work done to convert it, so this is an additional cost for us to stream. A password-protected environment is used when required. Thanks for asking for input. Jeanne Little Rod Library University of Northern Iowa On 1/19/2011 11:41 AM, Jessica Rosner wrote: I am working with a number of filmmakers and small distributors who would like to sell streaming rights for their films. It is an eclectic group but mostly documentaries and classic films. Most, but not all can sell lifetime streaming rights, but some can only sell for their own contract term which is probably about six years. I should mention some of these films are institutional only and sell for a few hundred dollars each and others are available retail for around $30. In most cases PPR rights would also be included and many of these are films that actually get screened on campuses. Streaming prices seem to be all over the map these days. I was thinking of roughly $200 extra (beyond the current sale price) for singledisc titles and $300 or more for multi-disc sets. As mentioned not all of the films will have lifetime rights, but even those for which the term would only be 6 years would have to be at the same price point. It would be possible to license a film for less for one time/semester use. Standard restrictions would apply such as going on password protected system and accessible only to students or faculty using them for a specific course. Besides pricing the other big issue is the "access" issue. These filmmakers do not have the money or time to set up their own servers so they would be selling a physical DVD for which the institution could digitize and put on its own system. I would like to know any general feedback to the above and if many of you are now buying or licensing streaming rights for classroom films.

Re: [Videolib] Two unrelated questions - copyright and phonograph records
Thanks to all for weighing in. I understand the in-library-use only, I just wasn't clear about moving from the vhs format that is defective, to a dvd format as a replacement. Jeanne Little On 10/20/2010 3:45 PM, Jessica Rosner wrote: If it was a simple "replacement" the law would not restrict where it can be used. It is a "replacement" in a different format so it is not the same thing. It is an upgrade in a different format and since format changes are the right of the rights owner this "copy" is basically a research copy whose use is severely limited. We agree on the law in any case if not the terminology but the bottom line is if you make a DVD from a VHS it can no longer circulate and must be used on the library premise.

[Videolib] Lord of the Dance: program 2 in Dancing series from Kultur Video
Hello, All. I am attempting to locate a copy of a video title we currently have in our collection that is part of the 8 program series Dancing produced by WNET and distributed by Kultur Video. We own the 8-program series, however program 2: Lord of the Dance, has had some damage and it is no longer usable. Ideally, we would like this in DVD and might consider replacing the set with that format, but no luck with that either. I found ONE copy in VHS format on sale at Amazon.com, but holy cow! The seller has it listed for $999.98! That will not fit in our budget no matter how much we might want this video. Any ideas where to go next? I tried Kultur's webpage but nothing there, so I will try and contact them. I also tried WNET 13 Television, and they don't list it either. And I could email them also. I just was hoping it would be quicker with help from this list. Searching for this title on the internet gets me lots of other items on the Lord of the Dance, (which might be good if I wanted to know more about Irish dancing), but they are not in this Dancing series. Suggestions, anyone? Thanks!

[Videolib] Photographer's Eye - availability of VHS or DVD?
Hello, All. Our library owns a vhs copy of the title Photographer's Eye which is part of the Creativity with Bill Moyers series. It was done in 1989 by PBS Video with a run time of 28 minutes, and was originally shown on public television in 1982. Our copy has been used enough that it is no longer viewable. I checked with PBS and they no longer have this in their files. I googled the title and came up with nothing other than other libraries that owned it. My question, since there doesn't appear to be a replacement available for purchase, can we ILL/borrow this title from another library and make a copy for in-library use only? Since our copy is in vhs format, if I can borrow, is it permissible to make a replacement in-library use only on DVD format? or in streaming media? I have no idea whether or not we can even find a library that will allow loan us their copy, so this may all be moot anyway. Just thought I would ask the collective masses on this listserv for their opinions or suggestions. And if anyone knows where we can purchase this title, please let me know! Thanks in advance!

[Videolib] Fwd: [ARL-ANNOUNCE] LCA Releases Issue Brief on Streaming of Films for Educational Purposes
--- Original Message --- If you're having trouble viewing this email, you may see it online. LCA Releases Issue Brief on Streaming of Films for Educational Purposes February 19, 2010 For more information, contact: Brandon Butler Association of Research Libraries 202-296-2296 bran...@arl.org LCA Releases Issue Brief on Streaming of Films for Educational Purposes Washington DC?On February 19, 2010, the Library Copyright Alliance (LCA) released an issue brief that reviews the legal status of streaming entire films to students located outside of physical classrooms. The discussion was prompted by recent news of a disagreement between the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and a media equipment trade association over the streaming of films to students as part of an online courseware system. Innovations in secure streaming and online courseware systems hold significant promise for institutions serving faculty and students who demand increased access to institutional and library holdings. Many questions have been raised concerning the use of these technologies and copyright law, and the LCA issue brief aims to dispel some of the mystery and uncertainty that surround this issue, and to foster a balanced discussion. The LCA issue brief explains characteristics that could increase the likelihood that a particular use will be allowed as well as the arguments that could lead a court to find in favor of educational uses. It also explains how these statutory provisions interact, and, most importantly, how the scope of fair use is affected by the other provisions in the Act. The Copyright Act includes several provisions that allow users to copy, perform, distribute, or display works without permission from a rightsholder. The LCA issue brief surveys three provisions of the Copyright Act?Sections 107, 110(1), and 110(2)?that could arguably support streaming entire films. The strongest argument is grounded in Section 107?the fair use provision. Fair use is a flexible, evolving doctrine that is often helpful to scholarly and educational users and users of new technology. Section 110(1) and (2) specifically address the issue of educational use of films, but they are less flexible. Whether these provisions will allow for a particular use will depend on the details of the use as well as how a court chooses to interpret certain key parts of the Act. To view the issue brief, please visit http://www.librarycopyrightalliance.org/bm~doc/ibstreamingfilms_021810.pdf. The Library Copyright Alliance is a coalition of library associations made up of the Association of Research Libraries, the American Library Association, and the Association of College and Research Libraries.
