Re: [Videolib] Film festival submissions?
I had a copy of a film that we screened at a conference while the film was still on the Festival curcuit. Though the filmmaker was fine with me keeping the copy as a personal copy, she said we would have to wait until they found a distributor before adding it to our collection AND we had to purchase the library copies from the distributor (which we did). I think you really need to go on a case by case basis. kc Kim Crowley, Director Flathead County Library System 247 First Ave E Kalispell, MT 59901 Phone: 406.758.5826 kcrow...@flathead.mt.govmailto:kcrow...@flathead.mt.gov Want more library news?

I would have to say that in some ways a film festival submission is a lot like a studio screener, you may have possession of it, but you do not have rights to it. The festival may not have the right to donate these to the library. It is good that you are going to make sure from here on out that the wording is in place for future festivals to allow for donation to the library. Regards jhs (former media guy now a lurker) John H.

Hello, 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. Thanks.

Re: [Videolib] DVD CD Security
We do the same as you used to do, Becky. Keep the discs behind the desk. We have an architect coming this morning to look at enclosing a space (glass walls?) for our media collection. We will have a self-checkout in the room and, possibly, a volunteer or staff member present. We'll probably still experience loss, but we can't keep doing what we are doing.

Background - until mid January, we double shelved our cds and dvds - empty cases on the shelf, discs in file cabinets in back of the circ desk. For several reasons - promoting self check out, space considerations (lack of in the file cabinets), and the time it takes to retrieve the discs, and then put them away, last fall, we put the discs for all cds but Popular and Spanish in the cases, and so far, have had fairly little loss. The decision was made to do this with the dvds, also. Since mid January, we have lost over 170 titles, all but a very few are feature films. (I know - ouch!) My question is, other than security boxes, such as Alpha, etc., or security overlays, what else is out there for securing cds and dvds in the cases so light fingered patrons don't take them. Oh - we really don't have a security system. I have contacted Midwest Tape about their locks. Thanks in advance for any help. Becky Tatar Periodicals/Audiovisuals Aurora Public Library 1 E.

Re: [Videolib] Donuts, anyone?
We use donut labels as well and we checkout about 150,000 discs of one sort or another each year. We have had about 4 instances over the last several years where a disc has gotten caught in a player. And I think only one of those was in a DVD player; it has usually been in a multi-disc changer in a car (books on CD), which can get very hot. However, the donut is the best system we have found so far for our purposes. By the way, we also clean our discs in a RTI cleaner which could over time add to the degredation of those labels. kc Kim Crowley, Director Flathead County Library System phone: 406.758.5826 247 First Avenue East fax: 406.758.5868 Kalispell, MT. 59901-4598 kcrow...@flathead.mt.gov From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] on behalf of Logan, Michael [mlo...@co.humboldt.ca.us] Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 1:02 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] Donuts, anyone? I've had a DVD processing issue come up, and I'm curious what the custom is among other libraries. Currently, we affix a small round donut label to all of our DVDs, printed with the name of our library. We used to hand-write our ownership information around the center of the disc, but this became too labor-intensive, so we switched to the donuts. Recently, a patron contacted us and informed us that these donut labels had a tendency to peel off and cause mischief inside people's players. This hadn't actually happened to her--it was anecdotal information she was passing on, but she was concerned it would happen in the future. No one has actually contacted us about any problems with these labels in the six months or so we've been using them. What I'm wondering is: 1) How many of you use (or have used) similar donut-style labels on your DVDs? 2) Approximately how long have you been using them? 3) Have you had any problems with them? Any information will be very greatly appreciated--I don't want to continue using labels that will damage anyone's machine, but I also don't want to change our procedures unnecessarily, if this turns out to be all smoke and no fire.
