Hi all,

Have you seen this?

DuVernay will allow screenings of 13th for FREE.   Now streaming on NF, it's a 
great film.



>From her twitter feed:

Yes. Public screenings of @13THFilm are allowed by Netflix in a 
first-of-its-kind general waiver ever made by the company. Show + share. ???

Re: [Videolib] library instruction

2014-02-21 Thread Junior Tidal
I am in a similar situation. I'm a subject liaison that conducts research 
workshops for intro engineering technology classes. I also lead a couple of 
technology related workshops for faculty a couple times a semester. That's 
about as much instruction as I do.

We usually have a template that we cover for all courses, then we have more 
specific things to go over such as particular databases/subject guides. I do 
mention our media collection, but we have a limited collection that would be 
useful for technology students.

I also do media selections for all disciplines. 

Hope that helps!

I'm technically in the Public Services group. All librarians have 
subject liaison areas. We therefore all do research-type instruction 
with our liaison areas.  As the media librarian, I do media selection 
for all subject areas, but as the public services librarian, I have 4 
departments that I do the liaison with, and that includes instruction. 
This is normally 1-hour sessions, on request of the instructor, often 
addressing specific assignments or specific resources.

I have done some one-off sessions on copyright and multimedia for other 
courses, not in my liaison area, but these are infrequent.

Please: Don't.


As a professional archivist whose business involves digitizing and
preserving films, that's my simple one word of advice.


Film, if stored properly, will outlast all other forms of media. And as
an analog material, it is impervious to technological obsolescence. You
don't need a computer to view them, just a projector -- or a lamp or the
sun, worst comes to worst.'


We deal constantly with clients who converted their film years ago to
VHS – and threw the films out. Now, they are really sorry they did.


If you seriously no longer are interested in them, consider donating
them to another collector or even a business that specializes in film
storage like preservingtheopast.com.

This is a shout out to all of you video/media/audiovisual librarians...  Could 
you please tell me what you call your library or area of the library or college?

The background is this - since the College's existence in 1964, we have been 
called the Audiovisual or AV Library.  I am the Audiovisual Librarian and we 
have an Audiovisual Administrative Assistant.  However, we have just had a 
renovation of the entire library, and the Audiovisual Library has been left off 
of the new signage - we are not in directories, and there are no individual 
signs.  No one knows where we are now that we have moved location!!

The reason seems to be that the administrators of the College think that 
Audiovisual is a dated term.  They would prefer something sexy, evidently, but 
they don't know what.  Actually, I think that the administration would be 
happiest if we went entirely to streaming!!  We in the library still have a 
number of video tapes, cds, and many dvds which are heavily used by faculty and 
students.  And we have viewing equipment.

One proposal is Media Services - tho that has a bad connotation here on campus, 
as that used to be the department creating media productions and delivering 
equipment on campus.  It had a poor reputation.  Multimedia Services is taken 
by our IT department.  I personally would like to keep Audiovisual Library but 
I don't think that our Library Director is going to go with that.  Could you 
please tell me what you are called, or if you have any ideas for sexy, 
forward-thinking titles?

Thanks so much!!

I'd like to find out what types of label(s) you include on/inside your
media cases when cataloging.  We've recently merged with the main
library and I have some concerns about what is being left off.  However,
I'm hoping maybe I'm just over reacting.  Ours may have been a little
overkill as we included, inside the case "For face-to-face teaching/ No
public performance license" and  "Duplication of copyrighted material is
prohibited…"  on narrow bright orange labels. Ours is in a closed stack
so there are no security strips needed.  When applicable, a label
stating the item cost over $100 was also affixed. Also, do you keep the
dvd cover on the case?  Your thoughts and opinions will be greatly
appreciated ! You may email me separately if you prefer.

Re: [Videolib] Blu-ray discs in academic libraries

We've been building a blu-ray collection since the summer last year. 

We usually order the blu-ray version of most newer films and not the DVD. 
Sometimes we find that the DVD/blu-ray combo packs are a comparable price to

streaming media will probably replace both those formats.

We were wondering how other academic libraries handle this new-ish format.  
 
In particular:
1. Do you order blu-ray discs as a matter of course or only as a special 
request?  
2. If you order the blu-ray version, do you also get the film on DVD?
2. Do you try to get those DVD/blu-ray combo packs whenever you can?  (They 
look like a pretty good deal.)
 
And does the media crowd here expect blu-ray to replace DVDs in the near future?

We've also seen that our audio CDs also do not circulate as much.

Hi -
For academic librarieswhat are you doing with your audiocassette 
collections?
We no longer have players in our media area and obviously the format is 
obsolete...while I'm actively replacing VHS with DVD - I am not sure I want to 
go this route with audio
We have mostly classical music and spoken word.

Any ideas?

Re: [Videolib] Media circulation terms

2011-10-27 Thread Junior Tidal
Good morning Lisa, 

We allow faculty to check out two videos at a time for 7 days. Sometimes we 
make exceptions (like a multi-volume set). We also do lend out films to faculty 
who have fines on their record which at times, can lead to very interesting 
discussions. 

Even though we are part of a university system, we do not allow faculty from 
other colleges to check out our videos. We used to lend videos to other 
colleges, but too many ended up missing.

Good morning everyone,

Our library has what I believe is a very generous circulation policy for our 
media items but a handful of my faculty complain vociferously that it is too 
restricted. Could those of you with an academic media library collection share 
how many films a faculty member is allowed to have out at one time and for what 
duration?

Your information is much appreciated!

The film was distribute in the US by New Yorker but that was a long
time ago and it is doubtful they still have rights. However check with
Linda Duchin there and see if they have any info on who it was bought
from. Alas since the company went under but is now back, their records
may be spotty.

General word of advice. IMDB is a TERRIBLE source for PPR rights.
First place to try is NY Times review assuming it had one. That will
tell you at least who owned when it was released in the US. If you
dead end there , get the Variety review which should have info on
overall production/sales company.

Re: [Videolib] media editing lab equipment?

2011-01-05 Thread Junior Tidal
I'm in the process of adding some editing equipment in our media lab as well. 
Currently, we have a couple of mac towers loaded with Final Cut, iMovie, and 
iDVD. The iMovie and iDVD is primarily for users who have beginner skills at 
video editing. We also use Garageband and Audacity for the same reason, but if 
money was not issue, then I would load these machines with Pro Tools.

We also have an analog to dv box so we can place vhs material (usually from the 
college archive) onto the machines. I would also recommend getting additional 
external hard drives for back up purposes. Right now, we're using a couple of 
WD My Book Studio drives.

We use two Avid Media Composer systems in our media lab.  The academic price is 
$300 ($500 for a large bundle with other software).  I use Avid primarily 
because it is the most common in our TV market and many of the editors in town 
also use the product.  I would never claim its better (or worse) than any of 
the other products.  Much of the video industry uses Final Cut or Avid.

For $300 it's a great program.

Hello all,
I am trying to develop a perfect-world, money-no-object scenario for a pair of

more fully equip our nascent labs, but the scenario will also play into some 
request for monies.

Based on your experiences and expertise, what would you include in such a

How are libraries dealing with the 2 year site license agreement for

place to alert you to the expiration date so the license can be renewed
