[Videolib] Import NTSC Region 4?

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi-

Our Acquisitions staff is uncertain that this film, linked below, is "pure" 
NTSC since it says "Import NTSC Region 4 ," but I think that means this was 
transferred from PAL into NTSC, since it says NTSC on the bottom of this.  Have 
you seen that wording before?

[Videolib] Blu-ray

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi-

What is the current  theory on whether it pays to be adding Blu-ray feature 
films, even when Blu-ray  isn't a campus wide standard, or  where there are not 
classrooms dedicated for cinema studies viewing.  (Northeastern has at least 
four Blu-Ray players available for reservation).   Also we have no Blu-ray 
players in the library yet.  I'd appreciate hearing about what folks are doing 
with this conundrum.  I am sure there have been conversations about this 
before, but I wasn't paying attention.  Unfortunately Blu-Ray players do not 
play regular DVDs, a major issue.

I'd love to hear from you!

Hi-

Thanks for your feed back—I guess I erred—Blu-rays don't play in DVD players, 
and our players in Libraries and classrooms are currently VHS/DVD combi players.

Dear Debra,

Just a quick note that regular DVDs do indeed play in Blu-ray players and there 
are several now that can play all regions of both. And in terms of feature 
films, there is no comparison in quality. Blu-rays look significantly better. 
So if you're playing a talking-head documentary on a monitor, that's no big 
deal. But if you want to project Terence Malick's DAYS OF HEAVEN on to a 
screen, the investment is fairly small in terms of players and discs relative 
to the increased experience.

Despite my lukewarm assessment of HD for feature films in my previous email, I 
feel like I need to hedge a bit after reading Dennis's email and say, "it 
depends on the screen".  On a large screen, yes, the difference is appreciable. 
 However, our viewing carrels are equipped with 18" monitors, at which point 
there isn't a remarkable difference for most titles.  And of course, in a 
campus environment, the investment needed in terms of players and projection 
upgrades becomes a bit more complicated.

Re: [Videolib] Blu-ray

[Mandel, Debra]

Interesting, Scott.

Every institution has its own culture with regards to classroom technology.  
I'll have to find out more what our directions are here, but cinema studies 
used to have its own classroom and with specialized technology—so there may be 
a justification to support this on a small scale and evaluate it success.  So 
maybe bBu-rays haven't been on reserve in your library, which is why they are 
not being viewed there?  Are people watching Blu-rays on their laptops instead?

I had been on the fence regarding Blu-rays for awhile, and now I feel I'm just 
playing catch-up. Can of worms, for sure!

Hi Deb,

I think your last point describes our strategy.  We have 1 Blu-Ray player in 
our media viewing room that almost never gets used.  Also, I meet with our 
Classroom Management folks regularly, and within the next several years they 
would prefer to be out of the physical player support business all 
together...a/v funds for classroom players are limited, and besides there's a 
lot of other cool classroom tech to invest in these days!   Therefore, Blu-Ray 
players are not in many classrooms that I aware of and I'm not inclined to 
enter the classroom management business (i.e., checking out Blu-Ray players).  
That said, we have developed our program being content focused  (in part due to 
Gary), so if we get to the point where the content faculty need is only 
available on Blu-Ray, we would likely purchase it and figure something out.  
For the time being, we are in a holding pattern with the film/video status quo, 
with an eye on the digital future..a review our organization is undertaking 
currently.

Re: [Videolib] Blu-ray

[Mandel, Debra]

I agree Gary--I would be primarily targeting cinema and media studies
classes, nothing on a grand scale.  If our library has adequate funding,
it might be nice to have one or two high-end viewing/listening venues with
HD capability. We would only do this if the University decides to create
similar cinema/media studies viewing classrooms, and hopefully we would
get some additional funds for our cinema studies collection.

But this isn't highest on my priority list--I'm just questioning the
possibilities, should certain things fall into place.

But more importantly, good luck with the plumber!

While the website itself is certainly not objective, I believe the market 
researchers cited (IHS Screen Digest, FutureSource, and the NPD Group) as the

And while I confess I have watched the occasional movie on a very small screen,

Re: [Videolib] Off air record question

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi-

You cannot off-air record and retain indefinitely.  Contact the talk show and 
purchase it if they are selling it.  That way it can be added to the collection 
legitimately or retained in archives. Perhaps they would even sell you a 
digital copy.  Hopefully they will sell it cheaply. Or tell them  how much you 
love their show and they may even give you just the clip you want.

Hi all,

I’ve had a request from an administrator to record a short portion of a two 
hour national morning talk show. Our university participated in a study that is 
going to be reported on during a 10 minute segment of the show. The 
administrator doesn’t have a specific use in mind for it, she just thinks it 
would be beneficial to have as a record.

So, does this fall under Kastenmeier? I always had the impression this 
guideline covered more in class teaching related uses, plus the 10day/45 day 
rules don’t help me out much here.  Is there a legally acceptable way for the 
library to record a segment of this program and keep it indefinitely? Possibly 
even restricted to in-house use?

Thanks,

Subject: [Videolib] VHS to DVD


Good Morning all, I am wondering if anyone knows if the JVC Video Anthology of 
World Music and Dance is available in DVD.  I have been searching for a while 
now and have found nothing online.  There are a few places that state they are 
DVD-R copies which makes me believe they are not original copies.  I believe 
there are 30+ volumes to this set and a few booklets also, it is a 1990 date on 
the spine of the VHS’s.  The instructors what a DVD set if there are no copies 
available in DVD format, would I be able to make a DVD copy of the set.

Thanks in advance for any information.

[Videolib] Looking for Mon Fils a Moi and Monster: the Josef Fritzl Story

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi-

I am trying to buy (ideally US versions) of these DVDs—reached a dead end with 
usual sources.

The two items in question are:

Mon Fils a Moi—French Amazon site has it in PAL—do French DVDs always come 
with English soundtrack?
Monster - The Josef Fritzl Story

The librarian who started this search wrote:
"One of the titles seems to be part of the collection of a British cable 
company that specializes in French movies (Cinemoi).  I've written them to 
inquire about the availability of this title, but haven't received any response 
to my queries.  The other title appears to be distributed by an organization in 
Belgium."

Many thanks,

Debra

[Videolib] Video Cool Dev.Policies Covering Cost and Special Series

[Mandel, Debra]

Dear Colleagues,

I would appreciate if anyone could send me sample policies or collection 
development excerpts which deal specifically with:


 1.  Responding to purchases for single titles from one faculty member over 
$xxx amount (what amount??
 2.  Requests for titles that are part of a one-time series (Humanities Dept., 
Language, special symposium, etc.) How many titles, what amount??
 3.  Policies that covers whose responsibility it is to obtain and pay for 
public performance rights

For example, I recently had a request from one faculty member who wanted the 
library to purchase a DVD for $650 because she was inviting the filmmaker to 
her class and wanted to show his film.  She was not opening this up to a wider 
audience.  Rental was about $395.  The dept. had no funds to kick in.  The 
library will not cover either cost. I had to say no. The distributor would not 
negotiate.

There have been several requests for film series, more than 6 titles.  Neither 
dept. was willing to kick in funds.

We do not have one media budget—selectors order films from their subject areas, 
along with books. Our budget have been drastically cut due to the current 
climate, increase of e-materials and other steadily climbing resources. 
Oftentimes, I will reach out to other librarians to share in the cost of one 
title, but sometimes I get no feedback.

Without a policy, librarians are having a difficult time deciding where to draw 
the line.  I hate to arbitrarily decide on a price, particularly if the film is 
outstanding, is interdisciplinary. and comes bundled with PPR, so I thought I 
would ask you what you are doing. How do you negotiate, say that depts. must 
kick in ---&age for special events, expensive titles.

I have been a media librarian for 100 years, and lately I have felt guilty 
saying no. The reality is just getting harder.

Re: [Videolib] Video (Cool) Coll. Dev.Policies Covering Cost and Special Series

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi Barb-

25% is  an interesting percentage you arrived at,  and that's something I could 
float, but that could be restrictive for the cinema studies area. It sounds 
like you have a separate video budget as well, which we do not have;  our 
reserves budget provides does provide extra coverage and I collaborate well 
with that dept. to negotiate expenditures.

For series, I was referring to a festival type series, not a multi-volume set, 
whereby someone wants to host weekly film screenings and have the library 
pay/or share in costs as a special event.  Sometimes they choose things that 
are already in the collection, but not always.

I like your $1000 account idea for special events where we could work directly 
with student or faculty groups. Do you sometimes get additional funding from 
student groups/student activities for this as well?  Do you respond to these 
requests first come, first served? How do they apply?

Have a great day!

Subject: Re: [Videolib] Video Cool Dev.Policies Covering Cost and Special Series

Hi Debra-

We generally limit departments to no more than 25% of their library allocation 
for non-book purchases.
If the title seems multi-disciplinary, I’ll usually pick it up with my video 
budget.  If it’s pricey and rather specialized, we can split the cost between 
their account and mine.
For series, I usually look at per title cost.  They might have to wait awhile.

We’ve been getting more questions about PPR. Not sure if it’s because less 
funding is available elsewhere, or if people are more aware that they need the 
PPR...
We setup up a small account of $1000 where student groups can apply for us to 
buy a film with PPR for them to do a screening. (Criteria: some educational 
purpose, not merely for entertainment)

Sounds like as much of your dilemma is internal funding structure as are the 
departments themselves.  Good luck.
I have to say that $650, it had better be for a great big public event not a 
single class.

Re: [Videolib] Video (Cool) Coll. Dev.Policies Covering Cost and Special Series

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi Gail-
This was very helpful.  You have some flexibility as you have control over the 
entire media budget (we no longer have such a fund)—nice.  Do departments tend 
to contribute up to 50% for titles over $500, or does it depend on their own 
funds?  By series, I meant film festival type series—I too would not 
automatically buy all the titles in a series, if not requested.

I agree about us doing the research for getting PPR, because that is a 
specialized service we can do well (with help from this wonderful list serv).

Do you actually have this written down as part of your collection 
development/purchase policy if you have to explain yourself in difficult 
situations?

Subject: Re: [Videolib] Video Cool Dev.Policies Covering Cost and Special Series

Debra,
I, too, dislike having to ask departments to contribute funds to a purchase, 
but I do so under these circumstances: single title applicable primarily to one 
discipline, =/>$500; series (regardless of # of titles) applicable primarily to 
one department, =/>$750. I also dislike purchasing only one or two titles out 
of a finite series, so I try to purchase the whole set, if possible. 
Understandably, it is getting more difficulty to do so with budget cuts. If a 
single title or series is truly multi-disciplinary, I do not ask for 
contributions to help cover the cost. I don't know how this would work in your 
situation, because our Media Library budget is separate from the main library's 
budget, so I don't have to be concerned about dipping into other disciplines' 
"buckets" to cover a purchase.

If the only way the Media Library can purchase a title for the collection is 
with PPR, then we do so if the cost falls below the thresholds described above 
or we get cost sharing. We prefer buying titles without PPR, if possible. This 
is a significant change from our prior purchasing guidelines because our use of 
media has changed and our budget is smaller. When we purchase a title without 
PPR, the department, organization, individual, etc.is then responsible to 
purchase PPR if they need it for their specific uses. We will help facilitate 
the PPR purchase, but do not pay for it. Also, if we do have to purchase PPR 
when we acquire a title, we do not purchase additional licenses that may be 
needed for uses outside the original PPR license. For instance, if the original 
PPR license covers non-paying audiences up to 50, and the campus user is 
charging admission and/or is anticipating an audience greater than 50, then I 
will assist in initiating and arranging for a PPR license, but will not pay for 
it.
Hope this is not too muddled to be useful,
Gail

Re: [Videolib] media/digital/transliteracy?

[Mandel, Debra]

Maureen-

Multimodal is a term writing faculty use at NU.  But some librarians are using 
"transliteracy." Here is a link to a video on transliteracy on my media 
literacy tab on my subject guide.

http://subjectguides.lib.neu.edu/content.php?pid=70924&sid=564965

There's a great book called Multimodal Composition: Resources for Teachers, 
edited by Cynthia L. Selfe which is used by faculty here.

I have been asked to talk to faculty about some version of these “literacies”,

My first question:  what is the difference between these terms?
And the second is like it:  what is the preferred term?

Re: [Videolib] Film archives

[Mandel, Debra]

Uncanny--I am also working on this.

I am reviewing my 16mm list and checking it thrice.   Our films are in a 
basement compact storage space, which is undergoing renovation for an expanded 
Archives.  Our collection is quite small now, but yet I find it hard to part 
with these.  Yet I feel someone has to do it.

Is there a way to determine which particular films have value? (I worked with 
collectors when de-accessioning my lp collection).  Today I was asked if "Can't 
Take No More" , available in the Internet Archives, might be valuable because 
the US Gov. required all the prints to be destroyed.  

For now I am holding onto all prints of feature films in response to request 
from faculty, even though we don't have a decent working classroom projector! 
So this is just a matter of sentimentality I know, since we have them all on 
DVD or VHS. We would never use a 16mm as back-up!

I also know a faculty member who integrates 16mm films into her experimental 
videos, and have hesitated giving these to her. But I feel I have a 
responsibility to keep them intact as long as someone has an interest, like 
David, in actually showing them.

Reely random thoughts.

Debra

[Videolib] More media/digital/trans literacy insights!

[Mandel, Debra]

Glad it all worked out, Maureen!

Attached is a link to NU writing instructor  Genie Giaimo's iPad production of 
her experience teaching a class this semester, "community in the College 
Writing Classroom."  The students were tasked with creating a digital media 
reflection as one of their assignments. They visited our department for 
instruction as well as the Archives. Genie wanted to participate  by giving 
herself the assignment to document the class.  I can't emphasize too much how 
valuable it is to have a faculty member actively taking on a media assignment 
with their students to appreciate "media 101."

Genie used specific Apps and royalty free music, and gave me permission to 
share this publicly.

Transliteracy, media literacy, multimodal, whatever— one appreciates these 
terms via the creative process of constructing the message, no matter what the 
medium or technical perfection. This is the YouTube generation, for better or 
worse.

So here goes:

It seems some percentage of students are doing media assignments, but not 
getting enough classroom and production support.  Alas, since we don’t have a

Re: [Videolib] Research on University 16mm Collections

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi Elena and Chet-

Northeastern University Libraries will be maintaining its small collection of 
feature films and important documentaries for the time being, but  we will be 
making decisions about what to do with the remaining two dozen or so titles.  
As the University has not been maintaining/using 16mm projectors for years, and 
because we have replaced important titles in VHS or DVD, collection managers 
don't feel the need to hang on to much that is left. Some titles are on the 
Internet Archives.

Some faculty members in Cinema Studies have mentioned showing 16mm films to 
their classes, but the reality and practicality did not converge. Students  
have been referred to us about using films instead of licensing them for 
rental, but this did not pan out for various reasons.

As a longtime media librarian who was active in a Massachusetts Independent 
School Film Cooperative in the 70's, and who used to set up films, cart them 
around, and splice them, I have a great reverence for these materials. Our 
Archives retains 16mm films related to the University' history and special 
collections. We reformat  them and digitize upon Archives' request. Some of 
these films are suffering from vinegar syndrome, which we obviously cannot 
touch. There is a plan afoot to digitize our old football films, which are in 
16mm.  My new goal is to try and get the 16mm projectors we have overhauled, so 
we can continue to play and reformat 16mm films, rather than outsource 
everything.

I have tasked the question of the AMIA, but have not heard back, is there a 
list of rare and valuable 16mm films?? (I am not a member).

Keep us informed about this!!

Re: [Videolib] Plea from a Media Collection Decimation Zone

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi Jared-

Sorry this came upon you so suddenly.  I feel your shock.  Four+ years ago our 
Media Center collection went to open stacks  (integrated with books!) except 
for a restricted reserve collection to remain in Access Services.  (We are 
still working at qualifying the restricted Reserve policy but working towards 
anything over $200+ and items heavily used for classes and not available on 
DVD).  All of our materials are stripped however,; we did not opt for locking 
cases.  We have lost some materials, and I have replaced what I can.  
Unfortunately, your administration has a very reckless (and heartless) attitude 
about this dictum.  Will they have someone doing regular inventories, add money 
in the budget to replace missing materials?

Best,
Debra

Subject: [Videolib] Plea from a Media Collection Decimation Zone

Media Collections Colleagues,

I send this out at least in part as a plea for support – moral support at the 
very least.  Last week from out of the blue my library director announced that 
we were to move our media collection (about 4000 VHS videos and DVDs) from the 
media room (with closed stacks) downstairs to open stacks around the 
circulation desk.  Although some of the titles known to be heavily used by 
faculty for teaching are to be put “behind the desk” in a limited teaching 
collection,  most of the titles are to be placed in an “outer ring” of shelving 
around the circulation desk open to patrons and the public.

Though we had been told that we would be investigating and planning for such a 
potential move sometime in the new year, this directive came without warning 
and certainly without any significant planning or forethought.   The titles are 
to be put on open shelving.  There are no locked cases involved and none of the 
titles are tattle-taped.   In the media room patrons had to check-out titles 
even if they wanted to view them in the media room.  We could track circulation 
statistics as well as maintain a high level of security.  As of the beginning 
of 2012, no such control will be in place.  In short, the entire collection 
will be unsecure and exposed to whomever deans pull a title off the shelf - to 
view or otherwise.
I have expressed my deep concerns, but the answer I have gotten back is that we 
“will put things out on the shelves and monitor the shrinkage.”  Not the most 
effective way to manage the collection I have noted. Seems akin to putting 
pamphlets on a display that says “take one.”  Seems to me this gets to the 
basic issue of what a library media collection is for, and how should it be 
used and managed?

For the record, my concerns have been echoed by other collages including 
several higher up my chain of command.  But, top level administration is 
un-swayed by such arguments, though I intend to continue to make them even as I 
am compelled to move the collection.  I suspect there are backroom politics 
involving space issues ownership (of the media room) that I will not go into 
here.  My biggest concern, apart from the sheer suddenness of it all, is the 
future security and integrity of the collection.  To go from a closed room 
(with check-out viewing only) to completely open stacks with no security 
control virtually overnight is not a good thing in my opinion.  I fear that my 
circulating collection is about to be decimated and devalued at the very least.

I suppose that in my shock at what I have been asked to do, I need some input 
from those on this list.  My big question to my media colleagues on this list 
is this:  Does anyone out there have their media collection on completely open 
stacks with no security?I’ll take any input (advisory or consoling) I can 
get.

Thanks in advance and happy holidays.

Jared--
That sounds like a tragedy waiting to happen! Yikes!  I tried to find an
article or two detailing great loss from other libraries who went the same
route. Either it always works out for these libraries, or they are too
embarrassed to write about their losses.  I did find an article that was
written by a librarian (in 2006) at a community college in Washington who
was happy with the library's decision to go to open stacks; the article was
written less than one year from the time they implemented the change,
however. Perhaps you could contact that library now and see how things are
working out for them 5 years later?

GOOD LUCK!  Hope your ADMIN has a change of heart!

For those of you who are donating  materials, such as 16mm films, to other 
institutions, do you sign some type of agreement/ exchange documentation with 
those on the recipient's end or just hand them off?

Much obliged.

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi-

That seems right, and of course the donor has an opportunity to review  this 
form with folks from their institution before they donate and return form to 
you.

Hi Debra,

As a recipient of materials from other institutions, I’ve never been ask by the 
donor to sign an agreement.  The only paperwork involved has been the standard 
gift form that my institution requires when taking donations.

[Mandel, Debra]

I guess there's no hard and fast rule, it's more instituion-dependent, more 
important  perhaps for more "official" archival material.

I have not had to fill out any paperwork thus far but am always happy to do so. 
Mostly it's been a "I don't care what you do, just get these things OUT of

[Videolib] Video at Risk's Relationship to new ARL Code of Best Practices

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi-

Does anyone know if the Video at Risk project (dealing with reformatting of VHS 
tapes)  has a relationship with the new ARL "Code of Best Practices" 
undertaking ? Have there been a conversation between these parties?

Just Curious.

Thanks.

Re: [Videolib] Good Night and Good Luck

[Mandel, Debra]

On the heels of all these wonderful tributes, here's another.

Gary, I have had a respectful professional crush on you these many years.
As another old timer, I can admit that I've stuck it out this long knowing
you were out there, keeping us well-humored, informed and centered.
Continuing in these tranches without you will be a lonlier experience.
What will sustain me is the passion you have given to our profession and
your commitment to doing the right thing.

[Videolib] Last Reminder: Please RSVP for ALA VRT Mid-Winter Dinner and Tours by Jan. 6

[Mandel, Debra]

Hello  Everyone,

We'd  like to invite anyone attending mid-winter in Boston,  (our home
town!)  to join the Video Round Table for some special events:


Friday, January 15, 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.  Tour the John F. Kennedy
Presidential Library and Museum, with a special look at the Audiovisual
Archives.  Cost per person:  10.00
Details:  http://www.jfklibrary.org

Public transportation options:From the Boston Convention Center,
take the MBTA Silver line SL1, SL2, or SL3 from the World Trade Center
stop to the South Station MBTA stop.   Then take the MBTA Rapid Transit,
(affectionately known as the T) Red Line (any red line train) to
JFK/UMASS Station.  There's a free shuttle bus (marked JFK) to the
Library every 20 minutes.Maureen will meet you at the door!

Saturday, January 16, 5:00 to 6:00 p.m.  Visit the Media desk at Emerson
College's  Iwasaki  Library., and marvel at the set of the Will and
Grace TV show,  installed in the heart of the Library!!!  120 Boylston
Street, third floor.

Public transportation options:  From the Boston Convention Center, take
the MBTA Silver Line to the South Station MBTA stop.  Take the Red Line
to Park Street Station, and transfer to the Green Line, heading
outbound.  Ride the T one stop to Boylston Station.  Exit and walk to
the corner of Tremont and Boylston Streets -you'll see a Dunkin Donuts.
Walk to 120 Boylston Street, and take the elevator to the third floor.


Saturday, January 16, 7:00 p.m.   VRT  dinner  at Legal Seafood, 26 Park
Plaza.  Stroll to the restaurant with your fellow VRT members after
visiting Emerson, or just meet at the restaurant.

Details:  http://www.legalseafoods.com

(Note:  there are a bunch of Legal Seafood locations, so be sure to
check the Park Square one for menu details.)

Public transportation options:  Walk from Emerson, or take the Green
Line to the Arlington Station.  Exit and walk up Arlington Street,
(heading away from Boston Common)  about  two blocks to Stuart Street.
Take a left on Stuart Street,  and enter  the restaurant at 26 Park
Plaza.

RSVP for any or all three events to Debra (d.man...@neu.edu) by January 6th, 
2010.
Please give Debra your cell phone number in case there are any last minute 
changes. My cell number is 617-240-3086.

Summary

 1.  JFK Library Visit: Friday, January 15, 3- 6PM
 2.  Emerson College Library Visit: Saturday, January 16, 5-6 PM
 3.  Legal Seafood Dinner: Saturday, January 16 7 PM

Public Transportation Costs:
The T is (usually) a subway.  The Silver Line, however, is actually a bus.
The fare is 1.70 with a Charlie card, or 2.00 with a Charlie ticket.
We recommend getting a Charlie card, (which is plastic as opposed to the paper 
ticket) because it gives you the cheaper fare.
http://www.mbta.com/fares_and_passes/charlie/?id=5592#card
We hope the link works, but if not, try to go to www.mbta.com , and look up 
Charlie card info there.
You can get them at T stops, or, if you want to be totally proactive, you can 
order them online.

For those nite owls, Debra will provide some listings of possibilities,  via 
the listserv and at the conference.
If you are interested in getting tickets for plays or concerts in advance check 
out www.Boston.com,  arts and entertainment listings: 
http://www.boston.com/ae/?p1=GN_AE

Remember, Maureen Tripp, Iwasaki Library, Emerson College, and I are ready to 
be your guides.  We're looking forward to seeing you!

Re: [Videolib] Laser Disks...

[Mandel, Debra]

I have gradually replaced many of the laserdisks available in DVD. We received 
some special funding for this when laserdisk players ceased to be delivered.  
We gifted replaced laserdisks  and two players to NU’s Center for 
Interdisciplinary Studies.  Our studio houses the Video Encyclopedia of the 
Twentieth Century, which has a goldmine of footage for educational projects.

 Remaining laserdisks are in compact storage for easy retrieval, for the time 
being.

Re: [Videolib] Grazie! Cont'd.

[Mandel, Debra]

I agree with Gary's points--usually based on faculty demand for classes,
when unavailable in a US format. We also have faculty who go abroad and buy
us noteworthy gifts to add to the collection. Of course, one's nstitution
must also be able to support playback technology in classrooms and library.

[sorry for the duplication--I sent this to Videonews by mistake and it really

I am trying to get our Systems people to move on setting up streaming services 
and the movement has somewhat stalled. Could members of this group simply let 
me know if your library offers streaming services? I want to compile a list of 
libraries that have stream delivery. I just need the name of the library and I 
can then visit your respective library sites.

Hi-

I have been able to find a US vendor that sells the Vittorio De Sica DVD Pane, 
Amore e Fantasia  (Bread, Love and Dreams) in Italian with English sub-titles. 
(Chances are it does not exist) The faculty member does not like the dubbed

Re: [Videolib] Resource sharing of media

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi-

Northeastern University has always been committed to media resource sharing,
and we too moved our collection into open stacks (out of my domain
altogether).  Here is our reserve person's feedback about her typical ILL
woes using our ILL services.As she says, media problems are not necessarily
worse than print ones.


"I do get frustrated when items I need for reserves are out through NExpress
or ILLiad. ILLiad items in particular are usually difficult to recall and
often don¹t come back on time. On more than one occasion I¹ve had to
purchase a replacement copy of an item that eventually came back because I
couldn¹t afford to wait for it any longer. I wouldn¹t say this problem is
any worse with media than for print items though."

Re: [Videolib] Do your institutions have video studios in their library/libraries?

[Mandel, Debra]

Randal-

We have a Digital Media Design Studio in our library.

Here is a link.
http://www.lib.neu.edu/about_us/digital_media/

We are a Mac-based dept. and have small audio and video production studios, 
which get heavily used.

We provide a walk-in service and collaborate with faculty and their classes to 
facilitate the creation of  student curricular multimedia projects. We work 
with Library's development  dept. to record and edit author talks which get 
placed on YouTube.  We consult with faculty and staff who are creating pieces 
for their websites, and/or full-length videos.  We work in concert with two 
other non-library faculty-focused media production facilities on campus.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Re: [Videolib] adios vhs?

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi Gary-

 I feel your pain. Letting go is hard, but also necessary when space is a 
premium.

I first encountered this format dilemma when CDs came into being and I 
de-accessioned my LP collection, except for a special jazz gift collection.   I 
felt sentimental about these materials, and we had lots of turntables set up 
for playback. Shelving space was the prime motivating factor, the new digital 
world another. It was a long process-some LPS got sold to collectors, some got 
traded for used CDs, those in bad condition were discarded, and others were 
donated to the Boston Public Library, which had lost many recordings in a 
flood.  I had anxieties about this, so consulted with music faculty, who even 
took some.  Over time, I replaced the ones most needed for classes and then 
streaming music databases came into being to help  augment the collection.

With respect to video,  most faculty at Northeastern prefer DVD, particularly 
for cinema studies classes.  As we are also experiencing a space crunch here,  
(now that the collection is in open stacks) I will be de-accessioning VHS that 
we have in DVD and selecting DVDS to replace VHS.  A special fund is being made 
available for this. I see no compelling reason to have both a VHS and a DVD 
copy at this stage. If you have concerns, consult some faculty about particular 
titles they may want to continue to use in VHS in the classroom or for 
research.  I also sometimes use reserve records to help me make decisions about 
priorities.

I would love to hear other viewpoints about this.

Hi all

I think I need input and/or moral support:  for various reasons having to
do with space and projected library renovation plans here at UCB, I'm
taking a hard and fairly ruthless look at the collection.

We currently have somewhere around 5K international cinema titles, about
96% of which we've re-bought on DVD.  As an alternative to sending these
out to storage (thereby completely blowing my storage quota), I am very
seriously considering...gulp!...de-accessioning them.  This makes me
nervous and breaks my heart (for which reasons I'm not exactly sure).

Have any of you larger academic collections gone this route?  Are there
compelling reasons NOT to go down this road?  I realize that there are
certain benefits to vhs (such as the ability to easily cue) and that some
faculty prefer the format, still... For a largely non-archival collection,
it seems crazy to hold onto fading formats forever.

What do you think?

 Our "Manuals" page links to a range of information we've addes as specific

Our cataloging folks have been cataloging our circulating DVDs as (mostly) PN 
1995.9, then organized by genre.  They claim they could catalog more quickly if 
they began using some other PN number, then organizing them by director or by 
title.
Is this true?  I am not a cataloger.  Obviously.
Do other academic libraries use LOC to catalog their DVDs?  If so, do you use 
PN 1995.9, or something else?

It almost surely has no current US distributor. You could try contacting the 
French Film Office in New York to see if they might be able to help you 
find/contact the rights holder. I would estimate that literally only about 1 or 
2 percent of films made outside the US have current distribution in the US.

Re: [Videolib] audiocassettes

[Mandel, Debra]

It'a time to withdraw these. Can you adapt your VHS replacement criteria to 
prioritize which ones you would buy on CD or withdraw?
 Do you have a classical CD collection already and/or streaming classical music 
such as NAXOS or ASP? If so, these CDs are superfluos.

Demand for CDs at my institution has really slowed because of MP3 revolution 
and streaming audio.

Spoken word is also available on CD.

I always get input from faculty before I wholesale withdraw a collection, just 
so they know, and I inquire what is most needed for teaching and research. I 
did this with 16mm last year and retained some things they  requested.

Product Notes
The leading lady is recovering from a nervous breakdown, another performer is 
soused on the set, unions threaten to walk, shooting must finish before the 
insurance lapses and a cat can't hit its mark. Is this any way to make a film? 
FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT's sly, humorous Oscar-winning Best Foreign Language Film 
(1973) that speaks the language of everyone who loves movies. JACQUELINE 
BISSET, JEAN-PIERRE AUMONT, VALENTINA CORTESE, NATHALIE BAYE and Truffaut star.
Product Reviews
Known to English-speaking audiences as Day for Night, La nuit am ricaine was 
director Fran ois Truffaut's loving and humorous tribute to the communal 
insanity of making a movie. The film details the making of a family drama 
called "Meet Pamela" about the tragedy that follows when a young French man 
introduces his parents to his new British wife. Truffaut gently satirizes his 
own films with "Meet Pamela"'s overwrought storyline, but the real focus is on 
the chaos behind the scenes. One of the central actresses is continually drunk 
due to family problems, while the other is prone to emotional instability, and 
the male lead (Truffaut regular Jean-Pierre Leaud) starts to act erratically 
when his intermittent romance with the fickle script girl begins to fail. In 
addition to all this personal drama, the film is besieged by technical 
problems, from difficult tracking shots to stubborn animal actors. The 
inspiration for future satires of movie-making from Living in Oblivion to Irma 
Vep, La nuit am ricaine was considered slight by some critics in comparison to 
earlier Truffaut masterworks, but it went on to win the 1973 Oscar for Best 
Foreign Film. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Hi,

I can speak very highly of Julie as we served on the Boston library Consortium 
together in a media interest group and we co-presented at an ACRL meeting about 
our media centers entering new digital realms.  Her presentation was quite 
good. I know first hand of the work Julie did at Boston College and consider 
her a very innovative media librarian and quite knowledgeable and personable. 
There are probably things I'm forgetting because I haven't seen her in awhile, 
but Julie if you're reading this, congratulations on your online course!

[Videolib] Reviewing materials after flood damage

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi-

Recently several stacks of  NU's VHS and DVDs received water damage from a 
burst ceiling pipe. (and cinema studies books. ; -).  They have been returned 
from a very professional company who inspected, cleaned and dried as 
appropriate.

We feel it necessary to inspect the DVDs and VHS to ensure that they work 
properly, but hope that we will have funding to replace the VHS over a certain 
value.

Does anyone have specific pointers for evaluating playback? This will take a 
great amount of labor so I am suggesting a spot check method:

For VHS: play portions in beginning, two in the middle and one at the end.
For DVDs play the first five minutes, then test menu functionality and play 
short excerpts.

What advice can you give me regarding visual inspection, and when to not bother 
with any playback testing.

Thanks!

[Videolib] Games and Game Technology in Your Library or Commons?

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi-

I'd be interested to hear from folks who have successfully integrated games 
collections and use of game consoles in their institutions, particularly in 
those with academic game design curricula. Do you check out consoles?  How do 
you collect games? What are the challenges of becoming a gaming venue? How has 
this impacted your budget?? Your space?

Thanks!

Thanks, Meghann!

This covers a lot of discussion topics we are sure to have here. Headphones is 
a strong consideration for us, since our locations would not be soundproof.  SO 
students are OK with bringing their own headphones?  Because we have gotten 
away from that.

I don't have a list of the titles we are getting yet,  and am just getting up 
to speed with this genre.

Hello Debra,

The UD Library supports a small (~60 titles) collection of video games on the 
PS, PS2, PS3, XBox 360, and N64 platforms (primarily PS2 and PS3).  It began as 
a grant-funded collection which was first loaned and then donated to the 
Library by a Foreign Languages and Literatures professor who teaches courses on 
Japanese games (a PS3 console and ~20 PS2 and PS3 games were donated).  We have 
four consoles: PS2 (which plays both PS and PS2 games), PS3, XBox 360 and N64.  
We do not loan them -- we have set them up in our Viewing Carrel areas for on 
site use.  Most of our gaming carrels are set up to accommodate as many as 4 
students at a time (the gaming exercises assigned often include roles for 
observers as well as players).  Currently there is no separate fund for games, 
although I've been advocating for such a fund.  If / when there is a fund, I 
will collect in the same way that I currently collect for other media -- both 
on request and proactively anticipating student and instructors' needs.  As it 
is, I only purchase games if they've been specifically requested by an 
instructor.

Some of the minor challenges we've faced in the few years we've been doing 
this...

*Noise.  Get a few students together playing Street Fighter while wearing 
headphones -- no amount of signs begging them to be quiet and mindful of others 
using the space are going to keep their enthusiasm from getting the better of 
them.  Ideally we would have soundproof rooms for them to use, and they 
wouldn't need the headphones.  But, that's not the case and we try to be loose. 
 If they become very loud or we notice other users popping up like gophers in 
other carrels and shooting them a stink-eye, we'll go out and ask them to keep 
it down.

*Perception.  The painfully short-sighted "What are games doing in an academic 
library?!"  Ironically enough, our most vocal complainant was a film studies 
professor.  I gently reminded him that this was a challenge routinely lobbied 
against feature film back in the day (and that still persists on some level, 
even within the library).

*Equipment.  Because they are small, portable, valuable, and easy to slip in a 
coat pocket or backpack, we check out the controllers to the student's account 
if they choose to use our consoles.  We do not check out other accessories -- 
headphones, remotes, etc.  This makes it a challenge for our student desk 
attendants to remember to check in the controllers, which means we have to back 
out fines regularly.  A bit of a pain.  Additionally, keeping the wireless 
controllers charged requires a little bit of vigilance.

*Online games.  We've had requests for games purchaseable through the 
PlayStation store.  After talking with colleagues in our Collection 
Development, Systems, and Acquisitions departments, it was determined that the 
licensing terms (written with individuals and not institutions in mind) would 
prevent our ability to meet the needs of that instructor.  I've mentioned Steam 
a few times, but there doesn't seem to be an institutional desire to grapple 
with some of the challenges the need for online games entails.

The biggest surprise for me so far is that the Foreign Languages and 
Literatures profs have been our biggest users of what they've dubbed 'the games 
lab'.  The assignments have much more of a cultural anthropology bent than I 
would have expected -- we don't have anyone using our materials to study, say, 
the technical side of gaming -- we don't have new media folks or art folks or 
any of the other folks along those lines coming to us.  But, we have a Spanish 
prof who teaches a class along the lines of 'Violence at the Border' through 
the lens of videogames like Red Dead Redemption.  And an Italian language prof 
who's assigned Assassin's Creed II as a tool to study representation of the 
Italian Rennaisance.  Etcetera.

Hope this is helpful!

Hi Debra,

By 'charging' I just mean checking out the controller to the student for 4-hour 
in-building use.  We do not charge any fees for the use the equipment.  One 
maintenance issue we've had with our PS3 console -- I recently received a 'must 
update software' message when checking the most recent Metal Gear on the 
console.  I downloaded the software, which promptly broke the backwards 
compatibility of the console.  It was an older model PS3 which used to also 
play PS2 games; now it does not.  This has been frustrating -- it used to be 
that we could use it as a secondary PS2 console, but we can no longer do that.

Not a maintenance issue, but slightly problematic -- certain PS2 games require 
memory cards.  They are pretty cheap, but tiny.  A professor has asked that we 
buy the cards and check them out to students for a semester-loan.  We've 
decided not to do this, since that loan model doesn't fit with anything in our 
collection and the logistics of checking out a (somewhat fragile) piece of 
equipment that small would be problematic.  They are so inexpensive that it 
makes more sense for the students to buy the cards with their other texts at 
the beginning of the semester.

Best.

Rhonda and all,

Deg and Jo Ann’s process is similar to the one that I am researching at GMU now.

As part of the research process, I have compiled different 500 notes for 
expressing Sec. 108 conversion.  If anyone is interested in this list, let me 
know.

Additionally, compiling a public site on ALA Connect about our best practices 
on Sec. 108 is a project that I have been hoping to start up.  It would be 
simple: just needs someone to do the data entry and create the links.

If anyone is interested in developing a Sec. 108 best practices links list, 
please contact me so we can discuss!

Rhonda: I will email you separately with more information.

At the University of Connecticut this is the process we follow. Since it is 
labor intensive and time consuming we invoke section 108 sparingly.


1.   Determine if the VHS is damaged, deteriorating, lost or stolen.

2.   Document damage, deterioration. This checklist developed by Kenneth 
Crews useful for ensuring i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed. 
http://copyright.columbia.edu/copyright/files/2009/10/copyrightchecklist108preservation.pdf

3.   If found to be damaged/deteriorating, conduct due diligence search for 
evidence of new VHS or DVD for sale at a reasonable price. We use this 
checklist (Creative Commons license), http://aladinrc.wrlc.org/handle/1961/16025

4.   If no new VHS or DVD is found for sale then a DVD is made from the VHS.

5.   The VHS goes to our archive and does not circulate.

6.   The DVD goes on permanent reserve. The case is clearly marked, 
“Section 108 Copy: In Building Circulation Only. This material was reproduced 
under the provisions of Section 108 of United States Copyright Law and may be 
protected by copyright.” “For use at UConn Libraries only. No InterLibrary 
Loan. Does not include public performance rights but may be used in the 
classroom.” “Preservation copy of Archival VHS. Not to be used outside of the 
Library.”

7.   The catalog record includes this statement, “For Use at UConn 
Libraries only. No Interlibrary Loan. Does not include public performance 
rights but may be used in the classroom.” And the permanent location is “Sec108 
Copy (Reserve)”. The catalog record for the VHS indicates the location as 
“Sec108 Original (@Dodd)”, our archive.

Alas I was right WB rights expired but they have the rights to the sequel

There are some foreign titles including a lot of the core Janus titles or ones

for a limited number of years.

[Videolib] Publicity Update

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi Lowell,

Thanks for all your hard work! Your announcements have been great, and 
obviously effective in attracting audiences.  Based on numbers for the AMIA 
registration (we are now full up) and interest in the Multimodal humanities 
program (as seen by the numbers of those interested on the ALA scheduler), 
folks feel we can hold off on further publicity.  I was interested, however, to 
see how many programs are still on your to do list, and what their numbers 
looked like on the ALA scheduler.  That would at least tell us that word has 
sufficiently gotten out.

Best,
Debra

[Videolib] Creating digital repositories of students' media projects

[Mandel, Debra]

Good morning,

Digital scholarship and library media production units are creating new 
synergies. Soon I will embark on a project with Northeastern University 
Libraries'  Digital Scholarship Group.  This project will "showcase the 
exciting work Northeastern students have created in Snell Library's Digital 
Media Commons and 
Studios. A collaborative 
facility with state-of-the-art audio and video technology and support, the 
Digital Media Commons has helped students at Northeastern record music, create 
animated films, and produce a range of high-quality creative projects. The 
Digital Scholarship Group will help Digital Media Commons staff celebrate and 
preserve this work."

Please contact me if you are involved in a similar project, can refer me to 
colleagues, and/or send links of examples.

Regards,
Debra

[Videolib] noise canceling headphones in your library?

Hi-


Does anyone circulate noise canceling headphones in their library?  We are

I'm curious to hear your pros and cons.

[Videolib] The Silence of the Quandts: In German with English Subtitles

[Mandel, Debra]

Hi-

The Silence of the Quandts has been recommended for an upcoming event. It is 
about BMW's involvement with the Nazi regime.  It is available only on YouTube 
as far as I can tell.  Does anyone know of a DVD vendor of this version?

Also, does anyone have negative experience using a YouTube video for a program? 
Other than one's own internet connection?  Is there a way to contact YouTube to 
ensure of its availability for a January program?  There are some sites where 
one can download this, but don't know if that would be a viable alternative. It 
seems that much care was taken to making this available.

Subject: [Videolib] websites with movie scripts

Hi all,

I have a professor who wants to make PDFs from websites with movie scripts. An 
example is Kramer vs. Kramer at 
http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Kramer-vs-Kramer.html. She also has a PDF of 
Scarface that she got somewhere, I think from this website 
http://www.dailyscript.com/index.html. She was telling me that Daily Script 
must be legit because the web page for the New York Film Academy 
(https://www.nyfa.edu/student-resources/10-great-websites-download-movie-scripts/)
 links to it...

Am I being overly cautious? I am not going to post a PDF ripped from a sketchy 
site ... but I am even hesitant to link to these sites. Advice??

Subject: [Videolib] reserve fines for media

Greetings everyone,

A question about our reserve fines led me to the belated realization that our 
fines for reserve media items is comically high ($12 a day for daily reserve). 
A quick review of other libraries suggests that the typical rate for reserve 
items is $1 per hour four hourly reserve and $1 per day for daily reserve. Is 
that the case at your institution? If not, what are your rates?

Thanks!

Hi all,
Your thoughts?
Kanopy just lost the license to stream Bicycle Thieves.  G.
Not sure if any other vendor is taking up the slack, but I’m thinking this 
Criterion/FilmStruck deal has something to do with it.
G.
Thanks for any info on Bike Thieves.
Best,
lorraine

Aren't I always correct?
Looks like a cool service if I watched movies online or even on TV which I 
don't much.
Good Luck

Jessica is correct, educational streaming is not part of this service.
Each distributor will maintain their current
non-theatrical/educational structures for the time being. This is
simply a shift of home-media digital platforms.

Hi-

This article in  The Journal of Copyright in Education and Librarianship was 
just forwarded to me, and has particular relevance to our discussion.  Perhaps 
this article has already been discussed, so my apologies if duplicative.

Subject: [Videolib] Streaming Distribution w/o Educational Availability -- 
Conf. Call 12/13 or 12/16?


Hi All,

Meredith Miller and I are hoping to host a conference call next week (either 
Tuesday 12/13 or Friday 12/16) for those interested in participating in a 
discussion about how we can best move forward on the issue of educational 
availability advocacy for media librarians & vendors.  If you would like to 
participate, please visit this link and indicate your availability (times are 
ET):

http://doodle.com/poll/nfr6q7dppcvndfrt

If you are hoping to attend, please indicate your availability by 4pm ET this 
Friday, 12/9.  We'll choose the date / time with the greatest availability for 
interested participants.  Make note of call-in instructions on the site.

Please note: we plan to do our best to keep the meeting to 1 hour.

Thank you,

Thanks, all, for the ideas and input!  And yes, I do understand that there are 
different rights complications depending on whether or not Amazon / Netflix has 
produced the content or not.  I do realize this is a tall order and may not (or 
may not be likely to) result in DVD availability.  But from what I've gathered 
so far, raising awareness of the fact that these companies (and the content 
producers, in cases where they are not the distributors) are leaving money on 
the table and prohibiting content from being seen in certain environments is 
the first hurdle, so crafting some kind of statement in this area with a goal 
towards publicizing it seems like a good place to start.

I agree that a conference call could be useful to begin the process, and would 
be available for one next week or the week after, in case it takes some time to 
pull together.  Meredith, are you able to facilitate?  I could help with the 
scheduling by putting together a Doodle poll that folks could use to indicate 
interest and availability; just let me know.

An interesting idea from Elizabeth at Bullfrog Films is that we could provide 
examples of several of the companies who regularly work with educational rights 
(as Mat described) who could serve as models / references for the process in 
the case of those film and / or music producers who are simply unaware and 
don't know where to start.

I love this idea! I've been pursuing this on individual basis with both Netflix 
and Amazon. My argument has been that this type of licensing is another 
potential revenue stream that they are not considering. I think there is a 
general misunderstanding about the educational licensing market and the value 
that it has - so I think educating them on who we are and why we are important 
is crucial.

I'm happy to dive into this! I think it would be good to discuss strategy 
first. Is anyone interested in a conference call early next week?

I think these are genius ideas from Meghann.  I especially like the idea of a

So who’s the drafter? ;)
