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

[Nancy E. Friedland]

Thanks Meghann.

I am most interested in this discussion but neither day works for me. I
look forward to hearing more of the outcome - as this is a big concern for
me as well.

Re: [Videolib] DVD vs. Blu-ray

[Nancy E. Friedland]

I continue to buy DVD format for all genres. Blu-ray is preferred for
feature films for our Film Division faculty -- with a few exceptions.  Most
of our electronic classrooms on campus for courses outside of film do not
support Blu-ray players yet. DVD and Blu-ray are still preferred for
projection -- I agree with Meghann's points here. We have had mixed
experiences with projection of streaming video. I also consider it
important to continue to collect the artifact -- we will have it into the
future. For feature film content, DVD is still the format that provides the
largest catalog in support of our curricular and research needs.

I acquire streaming video either through purchase or subscription database
collections if the content supports our curricular and research needs. We
prefer when MARC records are provided and can link from our catalog -- this
remains a relevant discovery tool. Streaming licenses for individual titles
are acquired if requested for course reserves. If we have the streaming
access through a database, we link to it through a reserves list or faculty
can provide link through their course module. If we purchase the license
specifically for a course -- we link from the reserves list.

As all of us are facing major budget challenges in support of streaming --
and I assume many of us are still facing workflow issues.

Re: [Videolib] Promised Land

[Nancy E. Friedland]

This is an excellent question. I think the issue here is perpetual access.
The subscription service does not provide perpetual access. The library
should have the right to replace the VHS with a hard copy in accepted
format such as DVD. I also agree with Michael's point of use and purpose --
the hard copy is required for research and teaching needs.

Re: [Videolib] An outrageous pricing model

Thank you, deg. I agree - this is not sustainable, and, honestly, find it
outrageous. I would have the same response. I am finding many of the models
unscalable and unsustainable. I appreciate keeping this conversation going
and hope we can find some reasonable common ground on pricing.

Neil -- I am guessing that this is for total campus and not for the
individual class. Likely the license extends to the campus community. We we

Re: [Videolib] No more DVDs?

[Nancy E. Friedland]

Thank you Jonathan Miller for reaching out to this community of librarians
involved in curating these collections.

My apologies for coming late to the conversation but want to add a few
thoughts.

First, I second these comments -- and emphasize that budget is a major
concern for both large and small universities and colleges. DVDs are more
affordable and offer a longer-term collection building model. Models based
on short-term subscription, PDA, etc. are difficult to budget for and as
you know -- we operate on fiscal year spending cycles. Based on earlier
responses to this thread and another active discussion on streaming -- many
of us are deciding to focus purchase on license in perpetuity for the life
of the file and limiting to purchase when the film is needed for a class
reserves.

Another concern -- streaming for presentation and classroom use. This can
be an issue depending on network capacity, quality of the digital file etc.
-- Another issue, the ability to pull clips from a DVD is a favored option
for instructional use as well -- this should be an option with a streamed
file.

I think offering the option for DVD purchase is essential -- at least for
the near term.

Nancy

Re: [Videolib] preferred streaming service

[Nancy E. Friedland]

Monique,

I agree that the tiered pricing needs further discussion. We seem to have
consensus that there is a preference for titles needed for course reserves
on a title by title basis however I question without attention to the
tiered pricing models, is this sustainable. Most recently, I was working
with a colleague to fill a long course reserves list for streaming access,
most titles were not available, and two that were found to offer streaming
license ended up costing more than $1,000 for purchase of DVD plus
streaming. The two titles were feature films (already owned in DVD format
purchased elsewhere for approximately $25 each long time ago), license is
for in perpetuity as long as the file maintains -- which is questionable,
and we have to host the content locally. I don't know if this is a
sustainable model as we are only going to see requests for streaming access
for course reserves increase. We are unable to fill all needs and the cost
for these individual titles -- some of which only offer one-year terms.

I think PDA is an interesting model however it is difficult to predict
budget needs. I am not in favor of a model that may be turned off during a
budget year because usage was higher than expected. We had this happen last
spring -- which resulted in messages back to our users that the institution
does not license this title, which resulted in our technical staff needing
to pull titles not purchased for one-year from the catalog. Workflows in
multiple departments were impacted. This is separate from the acquisition
budget issue but still an important consideration for these new service
models.

EBA is interesting -- have you tried EBA?

I appreciate this conversation!

Re: [Videolib] preferred streaming service

[Nancy E. Friedland]

I too agree. We are in the process of formulating a policy for streaming as
new models emerge -- which has been under discussion and evaluation for
many years. What seems to make the most sense in relation to course and
research needs, library budget and workflow, is to move forward with
database purchases (after careful evaluation of content) and limit title by
title access for streaming license to those films specifically requested
for course reserves as required viewing. This is an issue as the "curated"
databases don't always include what is needed specifically for courses, we
will need to pursue license for individual titles and accept that only a
small but growing percentage of those films will we be able to obtain
license for. The database packages are invaluable for the excellent content
that continues to be in demand. I suspect the limited term agreements for
individual titles are not sustainable in the long run -- whether it is
locally hosted or linked to a hosting service by the vendor for a multitude
of reasons -- budget being a major factor. I prefer in perpetuity but
recognize that this is impossible in many cases.

 Oh Collective Wise Ones,

 Can anyone suggest some recent, or classic, films about women in
 journalism?  For a class described thusly: JR368: Women in the Media: From
 Nellie Bly to Arianna Huffington, from Margaret Bourke White to Lara Logan,
 from Pauline Frederick to Diane Sawyer, women have struggled throughout
 history to pursue careers in journalism. Many suffered discrimination,
 sexual harassment, sexual assault, lower-paying salaries and the proverbial
 “glass ceiling.” The major obstacle was their gender. This course will
 explore the history of women in the media, present day conditions, and
 study the issue of whether the future will provide gender parity.

Re: [Videolib] Who do you report to?

[Nancy E. Friedland]

Our media operations has always been supported by the undergraduate
reserves department. Until four years ago, reserves reported to the
director of the history and humanities division -- reserves now
reports to the director of access services. I continue to report to
the director of the history and humanities division -- we are all
subject selectors and public service librarians. I continue to be the
main selector for the media collection and to some extent less
involved in the operations -- however this is difficult to nearly
impossible since expertise is required for many questions that arise
e.g., streaming, copyright, public performance, VHS to DVD
preservation project, etc. -- I am directly involved with these
issues.   Both directors report to an associate university librarian
(one of three)  that reports to the university librarian.

 Okay, just about every sports movie ever is about the finish line. And many

 course, I included some where they totally lose.

 Subject: [Videolib] Cool reference question...your assistance?

 Hi all

 An ex-Berkeley faculty friend has posed a very cool reference question...I
 can use your help:

 I'm looking for examples of films that do interesting
 things with words, either written or spoken, or (at the other extreme) try
 to do without words. I've got lots of silent films with title cards I can
 use, but I am looking for others. Some that come to mind include The Man
 with the Movie Camera, My Dinner with Andre, and Koyaanisqatsi. Any
 further suggestions? I'm interested in credits, subtitles, words on sets,
 dialogue, voiceover, etc.


 I've come up with Bob Dylan's lyric cards for Subterranean Homesick Blues
 in Don't Look Back; the meta credits from the movie Stranger Than
 Fiction; Buster Keaton in Samuel Beckett's Film(1965); and--oddly
 enough--two Steve Martin Films (LA Story's sentient freeway sign and C.D.
 Bales' [i.e. Cyrano's] hilarious put-down speech: Let's start with...
 Obvious: 'scuse me, is that your nose or did a bus park on your face? )

 I think Adaptation might have some relevant stuff, but I can't quite
 remember.

 What do you say?
