Re: [Videolib] What Is Real? And How Do You Know?

2016-12-24 Thread Sarah E. McCleskey
I proposed this issue as a possible topic of discussion for NMM in Portland 
(October 2017) at our NMM board retreat on November 30. This was just after the 
release of the report from the Stanford study finding that students (middle 
school, high school, college) are woefully lacking skills to determine the 
credibility of "news" stories.

http://www.npr.org/2016/11/22/503052574/stanford-study-finds-most-students-vulnerable-to-fake-news

At Hofstra, one of the most viewed videos in our Films on Demand collection is 
called "Internet Research-what's credible" and another that's very popular is a 
TED talk "Beware of online filter bubbles."

I would like to have some discussion around what we (NMM particularly) as 
librarians, content selectors and consumers, content creators, content 
distributors, can do collaboratively to have a positive impact on this problem. 
The fake news phenomenon is going to require multifaceted approaches.

Dear Videolibers,

I am going to broach this topic, because no one else has, which has left me 
shocked. Given the "normalization" of fake news, and our "post-factual" 
reality, how has not one librarian here brought this up? I am frankly shocked! 
I have no other word. How has this listserv missed this topic for discussion? 
How people evaluate information? It's the core of the profession, regardless of 
format. To me, it seems more urgent than ever that we have a primer in the 
basic understanding of what information is, and what facts are. And information 
gathering is. Is this not the very core of librarianship?Authoritative, vetted 
sources? High standards and scrupulous care that what we approve meets strict 
criteria? What IS that criteria? That hasn't been discussed here, if ever. I am 
having a crisis of confidence, in general, an existential one, some hubris (I 
don't think so), about librarianship's role in mitigating this very public 
handwringing. Why have none jumped? Are we not the purpoted experts in 
evaluating information, and especially, its sources? Seriously, are we 
obsolete? The word "curate" for programming, was co-opted years ago. And not a 
peep. Everyone's a curator, a librarian, is that it? Someone tell me, is it?

I feel better.

These are all good ideas.

I was thinking about inviting representatives from Netflix and Amazon (and 
Filmstruck?? And others?) to NMM 2017 (Portland, Oregon). I am brainstorming 
some sponsorship opportunities, and would like to look to companies outside our 
field of exhibitors. I think that if we could get the big streaming services 
interested in attending/sponsoring an event, we would then have a chance to 
bend some corporate ears about educational licensing, hard copies, etc.

Meredith and I can follow up on this. I think she already spoke with someone 
from Netflix. I am not sure these folks know that we exist, and we need to 
change that!!

I like the idea of a petition.  Who would we target?  Amazon (Prime) and 
Netflix seem to be the primary 'offenders' right now.  (But there are 
individual / self-distributors who are also only selling to individuals via 
stream.)

Another possibility -- maybe a joint letter from VRT and NMM?

Meredith and other vendor allies -- what do you think would be a good way for 
those of us interested in making a joint statement to get the attention of the 
right folks?

Alternately, it might be helpful to attach something like the joint letter or a 
statement with a giant gob of signatories when we're all individually 
contacting distributors.  Like, keep it on your desktop and just clip it to any 
of these individual emails we might send when we advocate for educational 
distribution.  "You might be interested to know that there are many who are 
concerned about this issue, and are interested in purchasing hard copies and 
educational licenses.  Please see the attached letter."

Thanks for passing this along, Lorraine!!  This is exciting!  Although, it

produced by streaming services without any means for libraries to purchase hard

just a week or two ago had an exchange with the distributors of the Netflix

Me: "Greetings, I am a media librarian at the University of Delaware Library.

I'm sure the filmmaker is trying to control distribution and make sure that 
institutions buy the institutional version (and I don't think it's available on

Re: [Videolib] Food policy query

2016-11-08 Thread Sarah E. McCleskey
Hi Lisa,
We have a really lax policy (and we have a café in the library). Our policy is 
– if you make a mess, spill a drink, etc., let someone know so that we can get 
it cleaned up. We discourage smelly food but really it hasn’t been a problem. 
We adopted this policy 10 years ago after a major renovation. We sometimes have 
to replace carpet tiles (coffee spills …) but it’s no big deal. We did get a 
lot of extra trash cans and recycling bins before opening up to food/drinks. I 
like it because no one has to be the food police. Yuck.

We have the main stacks, reference, and special collections in this building 
(but special collections has its own entrance and strict no food policy).

HTH,
Sarah McC

We are seeking your input to aid us in revising and, especially, enforcing a

general collections and some special collections and b) include a coffee and 
food service point.  We have collected food policies from peer institutions 
already; we are especially interested in hearing personal accounts of what

I have asked both copyright experts who are speaking at National Media Market 
to address this particular issue. It raises so many interesting points: 
contract law, EULAs, Section 110(1), collecting physical content for the 
future, acquiring content for now … Eric Schwartz (Sunday evening) and Jonathan

This discussion is very interesting.  I work with acquisitions, licensing, & 
copyright in an academic library, and I have always interpreted "personal" as 
being a family/friends/individual situation.  I think fairness dictates that 
any organization or company activity - even if limited in number of attendees - 
would no longer qualify as personal.  I believe that is why the copyright 
exemption for classroom use exists.  There would be no need for it otherwise.

It's been my understanding as well that license always trumps copyright, 
because you are agreeing to something contractual in nature.

I appreciate the discussions that happen on this listserv.  It's great to have 
an opportunity for professionals of different fields to collaborate on these 
issues and to share their experience, insights, and expertise.

Well, using the I'm not a lawyer just thinking logically approach, a professor 
and the students seems more similar to a public performance than a private 
viewing. Profs may have an affinity for their students but the students are not 
the prof's friends. It is rare that a prof would invite students into their 
home or hotel room, hopefully. However, when you have a public performance it 
is often people with something in common that have an affinity for one another 
but are not friends. It is not "Personal," which is the only right Amazon is 
granting.

I don’t need the stream—we have the VHS and want to purchase/convert to DVD.

The individual who used to handle reproduction requests is retiring at the end 
of the month and the responsibility has been transferred to my department. I’ve 
inherited her documentation which includes an outline of Section 108 (c) of the 
Copyright Act. There is also internal checklist of requirements to follow, and 
one of the requirements is that we make a reasonable effort to track down the 
copyright holder.  I am at that stage right now.

On a related note, now that VHS players are officially no longer being 
manufactured would that automatically render VHS an obsolete format?

Re: [Videolib] DVD vs. Blu-ray

Hi Judith,

At Hofstra professors frequently assign streaming video for students to watch 
outside of class time. Preserving class time for discussion of the content.

Thank you, Scott, for posting this important question. A quick added question: 
are teachers ever assigning streams to their students' syllabi for them to 
watch at home, as they would, say, a book or article?

Re: [Videolib] Subscription platforms

2016-08-29 Thread Sarah E. McCleskey
Since these services are personal-subscription based, I would recommend that 
the professor ask the students to subscribe to the service (or amazon usually 
offers single rental/purchase options) for the duration of the class. If DVD 
sets of the series are available for purchase, I would buy them and put them on 
reserve in the library for students who did not wish to subscribe to an online 
service.

I have assisted a few professors make short clips from streaming videos to show 
in class but it was pretty time consuming. I used screen-capture software to 
create a mp4 file.

[Videolib] Digital Video Summit 3.0

2016-08-25 Thread Sarah E. McCleskey
The National Media Market & Conference is excited to host a unique event in 
Baltimore in October.

Digital Video Summit 3.0: Look How Far We've Come

Tuesday, October 25, 2016 at 6:00 pm
In Spring of 2010, the Higher Education Digital Video Summit was held in New 
York City. At that time, academic media librarians were faced with a challenge: 
for years institutions had concentrated on collecting physical video content, 
but faculty and student demand for streaming video was exploding. Media vendors 
were exploring streaming options, platforms, pricing models, rights management, 
and many other issues. The “Group of 7” who coordinated the Digital Video 
Summit did not represent any particular institution or company, but rather felt 
a professional calling to bring together buyers, distributors, and filmmakers 
for a focused discussion. Some key concerns in for librarians included 
streaming quality and reliability, breadth of content, copyright, provision of 
MARC records, and flexible pricing models. Distributors expressed concern about 
revenue, copyright, and sensible distribution/delivery models. There was also 
general concern about the emerging use of mobile devices. A Summit 2.0 event 
was held that same year, at National Media Market in Las Vegas.

Where are we now? So much has changed in the past six years! Vendors typically 
provide MARC records, and most offer ever-expanding customized pricing and 
licensing options. Most platforms are compatible with mobile devices. 
Librarians have come to expect COUNTER compliant use statistics and closed 
captions. Many platforms also provide interactive transcripts, clip and 
playlist options, and other value-added features. Copyright concerns, while 
still present, are not overwhelming and the environment is less fraught with 
angst over re-use of content without appropriate licensing.

Where do we go from here? Digital Video Summit 3.0 will employ a similar format 
to the 2010 meeting. Distributors and buyers will have opportunities for 
meaningful discussion to identify current challenges in streaming video in the 
academic environment, and work together to suggest goals for the future.

Facilitators for the Digital Video Summit 3.0 include Allen Chou (Passion River 
Films) , Wendy Collins (Films Media Group), Sarah McCleskey (Hofstra 
University), Winifred Fordham Metz (UNC-Chapel Hill), Danette Pachtner (Duke 
University), and Will Whalen (Alexander Street Press).

Your conscience. Your understanding of copyright law, and your good intentions 
to adhere to the US Code. Your professionalism. Your respect for the ALA code 
of ethics. Your thorough search for an unused replacement.

All these will “stop you.” The Section 108 spinner is a good place to start.

Re: [Videolib] Internet Archive Movies

2016-07-12 Thread Sarah E. McCleskey
Considering that it’s available streaming commercially on amazon, I’d say the 
likelihood of takedown is pretty high.

I never use IA movies. I don’t even look there … hmm.

I can’t believe the website says it’s “public domain.”

Wow.

Does anyone have any experience using IA movies?

How often do they get taken down?

Is there any way to verify the copyright information?

Hi Gabrielle,

It's Sony Picture Classics. Last time I checked with them they would not do 
educational streaming rights. But most of their material is on Amazon with a 
pay per view option.

This one can be rented for $2.99 here 
https://www.amazon.com/Merchant-Venice-Al-Pacino/dp/B00RNV4DM0/ref=sr_1_1?s=instant-video&ie=UTF8&qid=1467838636&sr=1-1&keywords=merchant+of+venice

I believe the schedule and presentation slides are online.

Most librarians are trying to be the good guy and not rip other people off. I 
suggest you start actually attending these conferences before issuing 
uninformed blanket judgments from anonymous IP attorneys who weren't even 
there. Context is key.

Out of curiosity I checked with two copyright lawyers I know. Neither actually 
knew of the Kraemer seminars and neither had heard the one law film that was a 
sponsor ( along with many academic groups) but said that person listed as their 
IP leader was a trademark lawyer who was not involved in copyright law. I would 
sincerely be interested in any more information on the IP lawyers and their 
presentations if you remember them. I understand this a conference from the 
Academic perspective but  I remain highly cynical that rights holders were 
fairly represented.

Again my big issue is that too much of this is echo chamber discussion and that 
these issues need to be discussed and debated by a much broader and balanced

Thanks for that link and info, deg. What a strange survey. Some of the 
questions are baffling.

I wonder why Swank Digital Campus was singled out in a question about 
percentage of spending.

And the question about spending money to license or purchase streaming content 
from Amazon Prime, or Netflix...do libraries DO that??

And asking for the "single most popular and useful licensed video resource for 
classroom use in the past year." What does that even mean? It's so subjective!

Primary Research Group has published the Survey of Academic Library Video
Content Provision Practices, ISBN 978-157440-390-9

The study looks at how 31 academic libraries provide video content to
traditional and online classes and other academic and scholarly purposes.  The
study examines the use of traditional and streamed video, the digitization of
existing college video collections (commercial and proprietary), and use of
gratis video from YouTube and other sources. The report helps its end users to
answer questions such as: how much are libraries spending on streamed video?
Traditional video?  How many libraries are making use of video archives of
classes, lectures, special events and speakers and what are they doing with
this video?  What kind of licensing models are libraries using for streamed
video: pay per view, in perpetuity licensing? Fixed term?  What is the role of
consortia in purchasing? How happy are librarians and their patrons with the
video delivery infrastructure at their institutions?  How much are libraries
spending on licenses to convert their existing tradition video assets to
digital formats?

Just a few of the report's many findings are that:

Institutions with less than 3,000 enrollment were most likely to say
infrastructure was underdeveloped (38%). Overall, the research institutions
were the most satisfied,

Most libraries (58%) felt they should spend more on streaming video in the
future, while a small number (6%) felt they should spend less.

Forty-eight per cent of respondents make available for educational purposes
video archives of events, programs or courses such as lectures or performances
given at the college, or tapes of college courses themselves. This was more
common among public institutions (62%) than private (20%).

21% of video content licenses were accounted for by flat fee in perpetuity
license. Community colleges did not report any flat fee, in perpetuity
licensing.

Data is broken out by size and type of institution, by tuition level and for
public and private colleges.

Multimedia Industry Veteran Set To Retire
Special interest retailing pioneer places domain portfolio up for sale

Dean Stevens, founding owner of Vide-O-Go/That's Infotainment!, raises a glass 
of his favorite bargain vino at the Cary, NC, family owned and operated small 
business surrounded by years of excess out-of-print video inventory. "It's been 
a good run," says Stevens, amid the announcement of his planned retirement. The 
multimedia company will be closing its office doors over the Summer of 2016 
following the anticipated sale of its suite of video related internet domains. 
"It's nice to be able to walk away from a productive enterprise on my own time 
and of my own choosing.  I feel incredibly privileged—it didn't happen that way 
for so many of my esteemed colleagues."

Considered an early 1980's pioneer in "how-to video" retailing and special 
interest distribution, Stevens took the business from its small retail roots to 
a nationally recognized multimedia distribution service. Along the way, Stevens 
was the recipient of six VSDA Viddie awards honoring his advertising and 
marketing; he was also a two-time recipient of Video Business Magazine's 
National Retailer of The Week.

Vide-O-Go has evolved from personal corporate deliveries to retail store, with 
a short-lived stint as a Tape Learning Centers of America franchise. It 
outlasted Blockbuster while successfully settling into a distributorship of 
multimedia formats through on-line and mail-order operations. The company's 
flagship franchise storefront was first established in Princeton, NJ's 
Forrestal Village, building a loyal customer base of businesses and their 
employees along the Route One Corridor. It was free to join as a "member" 
customer and $5.00 to rent a VHS video or book-on-tape for three days. A 
nationwide mail-order clientele was soon to follow, along with national 
recognition in USA Today and Entrepreneur Magazine. Not resting on its laurels, 
Stevens' company commissioned a research study in conjunction with the Small 
Business Institute in the late '90s that helped establish a revised business 
plan to further ignite growth.

As VHS cassettes began to disappear and rentals turned into bulk sales, Stevens 
shifted his focus to serve public libraries and schools, recognizing that 
packaged "infotainment" media was a rapidly expanding marketplace. The firm in 
its peak years represented over a hundred studios and publishers while serving

Hi Laura,

I have successfully streamed films on Kanopy via Chromecast using an 
intermediary app called TVCast. This allows users to stream anything on the web 
to Chromecast.  I did this by casting from my iPad to Chromecast, but you can 
also add an extension to Chrome on a laptop or desktop and send any web-based 
streaming video to Chromecast. I have noticed, though, that proximity and wifi 
strength is a major factor in terms of video quality when casting this way.

I hope that helps!

Subject: [Videolib] Where is Lady Day?

Hi folks,

I'm trying to help a faculty member discover a copy of The Long Night of Lady 
Day, which was an American Masters PBS broadcast. Does anyone have any insights 
into how to track it down. John Jeremy is the director with these other folks 
as producers.
oAngus Trowbridge Executive Producer
oAlan Yentob Producer
oWendie Knighton Associate Producer
oJohn Jeremy Director

I've included the email from my colleague looking to find the DVD with any luck:
oThere is a Billie Holiday documentary called The Long Night of Lady Day.  
It was originally made around 1986, and has apparently been broadcast by PBS as 
recently as 2006 as an "American Masters" documentary (at least that's the way 
it looks to me from their site):

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/billie-holiday-about-the-singer/68/

So far as I can see, this video is not currently available anywhere in any 
format except on eBay from Japan as a laser disc (for sale by someone who 
doesn't have a laser disc player to check it)!  I see no mention of a DVD 
available anywhere.  It doesn't look as if [our] library has the documentary.  
A Google search on the title comes up with an Amazon link to a *different* 
documentary, The Many Faces of Billie Holiday, which is currently on YouTube 
(albeit with Portuguese subtitles).

But so far I'm stumped in trying to track down The Long Night of Lady Day. Yet 
it seems to have been a major documentary (it's around 90 min), and it is the 
only documentary listed in the "Selected Films and Videos" section of the 
article on Holiday in Grove Jazz, 2nd ed.  ...

Any ideas about the Long Night documentary?  I'd really like to see it.  So far 
as I can see, it's not on YouTube, except as someone's inaccessible "private" 
video.

[Videolib] Session Proposal for Charleston Conference

2016-04-28 Thread Sarah E. McCleskey
Hi all,

I'm thinking about proposing a session for the Charleston Conference about 
streaming video packages and platforms, analyzing available content, usage, and 
cost. Does anyone want to collaborate with me on this? It would be great to 
have representation from different sized academic libraries.

Another idea I had:  Collection Development policies for video. So many of us 
have different strategies for collection video content, or for making it 
accessible. Are you at a huge library that is collecting at the research level, 
or are you at a smaller institution more focused on supporting the curriculum, 
or something in between? Benefits of purchasing physical materials as opposed 
to streaming rights. Preferred format. What does the future hold. Etc.

Email me if this appeals to you. Here's the call for papers:

The Handmaid's Tale is not even available via pay per view. I've done a lot of 
searching but don't even find new copies of the DVD for sale.
Anybody know the story behind it? Did the rights expire and no one wants to 
renew? Or, does the rights holder not want to reissue or stream it?

Normally I'd contact producer/director (Wolfgang Glattes/Volker Schlondorffbut) 
being a feature film I'm figuring it won't turn up anything.
IMDB show Cinecom Pictures had the theatrical rights, MGM the DVD, HBO the VHS, 
Image Entertainment the video.
The DVD or stream does not turn up on HBO or MGM websites. I'm not turning up 
anything for Cinecom and I've written to Image Entertainment.

It is quite frequently requested for classes here at UConn.

Hello community,

I've had a request from a faculty member for a streaming documentary about the 
use of therapy dogs to treat veterans with PTSD. Ideally it should be about 
35-45 minutes long. I've located some titles that might work and have had a 
look at Kanopy, New Day, California Newsreel, etc.,, but if anyone knows of a 
title like this I would appreciate the suggestions!

Thanks all,

Re: [Videolib] Kevin Smith on the new GSU ruling

2016-04-05 Thread Sarah E. McCleskey
Hi Bob,

The thing is, it's hard to take that ruling and apply it in a useful and 
practical way. The judge interpreted the 4th factor (market effect) using 
exceedingly specific information about each title, information only made 
available by the publishers during the discovery process. She did not use 
information that a regular person would have access to. So it's kind of a weird 
ruling for us in the trenches. Also, it's very specifically geared to mirror 
copying of print excerpts.

Also, maybe I'm being naïve here, but I feel like librarians who are acquiring 
streaming content generally have respect for content providers and want to use 
content responsibly. Of course, different librarians have different 
interpretations of what is "responsible" but speaking for myself, I value my 
relationships with video content providers and I want you all to keep producing 
that content and making it available in easy to use platforms.

Imho,  the more vendors make licenses readily available and affordable for 
streaming content, the more likely that users will pay for licensing. And so 
many (honestly, most!) of you vendors have indeed made it super easy to acquire 
or access your content (frequently in my case, via a PDA package) in streaming 
format. We all have different acquisition models based on our institutional 
mission and curricular needs, and over the past 10 years you vendors have 
really worked hard to provide flexible licensing options to meet those 
different needs.

I honestly can't see why anyone would go to the trouble to digitize and host 
"secret" streaming content for provision to students in one online course, as 
long as it's relatively easy and not too expensive to get a license and make 
the content widely available for your users. Just the costs involved with 
ripping, uploading, having a server that can handle that stuff, legwork running 
DVDs over to another building on campus for the upload ... and then when the 
professor wants to use that same content again next year or whatever, they most 
likely do not have an easy way to go back and find that content, because it has 
no metadata and is just stored as a file name on a server somewhere on campus.

Now, the stuff Maureen was looking for seemed a bit tricky, but I think people 
had some very good suggestions for places to look for streaming short films. I 
suggested YouTube, and certainly there's a lot of illegal stuff on there, but 
there also is often content put up by the filmmaker because they *want* people 
to see their work! Barb suggested indieflix, which is dirt cheap, and Netflix, 
Amazon, Vimeo, Hulu, etc. are all expanding (and of course losing sometimes) 
content, all the time. It's not unreasonable, in my opinion, to ask students to 
subscribe to a few pay per view services, or to pay for a one-time streaming 
rental if you can't afford a license, or if a license isn't readily available. 
It's a cost of education and certainly less expensive than most textbooks.

I stand by my earlier statement that if you cannot find the content legally 
online, and cannot locate the rightsholder after a really thorough search 
(WorldCat, ImdbPro, Variety, Facebook (for filmmaker), LinkedIn, google search 
(for director's name, producer's name, and/or distributor) ... if all those 
come up blank, you could consider whether it might be fair use to stream the 
content, accessible only to the members of the class for the duration of the 
class.

Where is the firestorm? I guess no response means librarians agree with the

market value and GSU only used excerpts is a little reassuring. If a judge

If it were up to me, since she would be using them in their entirety, I would 
try to secure rights. Have you checked to see if any are already available on 
YouTube or other internet streaming video sites? Sometimes for short films that 
is an option.

This is just my opinion, so list, please don't flame me here!!

A faculty member will be teaching an online class on the short film, and wants

wants to post them online.
We have many of the films as part of DVD collections we've purchased--for

It's my understanding that these films are complete works, and therefore can't 
be used in their entirety online.
But it's proving very difficult to find out who owns the rights to all these 
films--is there any possibility that I'm wrong, and that, as portions of a

a complete work?

Yeah, and there is a lot more to the Diversey situation than that summary. I’ve

dissertation. Most institutions have a systematic procedure for students to 
deposit a dissertation or thesis with the library, usually as a final step in 
the degree process.

But this particular situation did not make University of New Mexico (especially 
their department of linguistics) look good. Diversey also sued the University 
in state court for breach of contract and fraud. I’m not sure how that turned

Re: [Videolib] Digital Repository & copyright

2016-02-22 Thread Sarah E. McCleskey
Hi Farhad,

I think that the best practice for an institutional repository is to seek 
permission for materials where the submitting author of the University does not 
clearly own the copyright in the work. For example, I know that in the 
Scholarly Commons repository for the law school at Hofstra, permissions were 
sought for (for example) journal articles written by Hofstra faculty but 
published in scholarly legal journals not affiliated with Hofstra. For recorded 
events such as panels or conferences, permission must be obtained from 
participants prior to recording. I think that's pretty standard.

Georgetown has a pretty clear outline of their policies for inclusion: 
http://www.library.georgetown.edu/ir/policies

In terms of AV materials, similar policies would apply. If the video is 
produced by the University, to promote the University or whatever, the 
University probably retains copyright. But if you're looking at athletic 
events, music concerts, plays ... the University would need to develop and 
implement a permissions policy.

I think it really depends on the type of av material the repository would 
include.

Re: [Videolib] 2016 Kraemer Copyright Conference at UCCS—Registration is Now Open!

2016-02-17 Thread Sarah E. McCleskey
Jessica makes an excellent point about seeking out a different perspective, and 
I have a couple of responses (actually 3 or 4 but who's counting?).


1. This conference in Colorado Springs is excellent. I attended last year. 
Carla Myers does a phenomenal job of bringing people together who share this 
common interest in libraries and copyright. Also, the registration is free and 
if you can possibly go, you should. It's a great time of year to visit Colorado!


2.  I am going to be leading one of the breakout sessions at this conference, 
talking about Section 108 and video content. Most folks on this list are 
probably pretty comfortable with making section 108 decisions, but there are a 
lot of librarians who don't have to face this on a regular basis and I hope I 
can teach them something useful. So in addition to using this as shameless 
self-promotion, I will also say that I'm pretty much a stickler for thorough 
research into rights holders, and I promise to impart my rather conservative 
approach to attendees (with the caveat that it *is* conservative, and YMMV).


3. Speaking of shameless self-promotion, the board of the National Media Market 
is working, as we speak, on securing a keynote speaker who will provide that 
different perspective that is so important to the discussion. Don't forget!! 
NMM 2016, Oct 23-27, in Baltimore. We have some fantastic stuff lined up and 
the hotel is in the Inner Harbor area. You should plan to attend if you can!


I was re-reading the report of the Fair Use and Video Project today, and was 
struck by this particular paragraph:


"Like other groups of librarians who deal in specialized content – e.g. music 
or image librarians – those who collect media often feel a sense of 
responsibility towards the producers of content, which they must balance 
against the needs of both their libraries and their constituents. The producers 
in question are the small, independent filmmakers and distribution companies – 
not the major media labels – that create and distribute the kind of 
high-quality social commentary or groundbreaking artistic work that is a staple 
of most academic media collections. This symbiotic relationship between 
producer and consumer is one that a significant portion of the media librarian 
community would like to protect." (full report at 
https://pages.shanti.virginia.edu/Fair_Use_and_Video/)


Cheers,


Sarah

At the risk of being slammed I would point out that I don't see a single person

bit shocking that what appears to be dozens of conferences, webinars, seminars

[Videolib] Videos about migration from cities to suburbs

The board members of National Media market received this question from Linda

"I used to attend, with my husband Eric White, the media markets.   Certainly 
the vendors there have the greatest inventory of videos created!   I'm looking 
for a video part of which --if not the entire film--might discuss the movement 
from cities to suburbia during the mid-20th century."

Do you all have suggestions for Linda? You can contact her at

Hi all,

First, thank you all for the feedback on the VHS > DVD topic this week.  Very 
helpful, always, even the arguments.



How about this one?  I'm always curious regarding things like this - I have 
faculty (with online class) that want to 'stream' All About My Mother and 
Normal Heart.



Normal Heart is HBO (and HBO GO).

All About Mom is Sony Pictures Classics



All About Mom they could rent from Amazon Video, that's only $3.99

Not sure of HBO GO.



When you have faculty that want films not avail from streaming (esp in online 
setting), are they SOL? Or the faculty suggest to the students ways to watch on 
their own?  Both of these titles 'should' be readily avail at video stores, 
libraries.



Thanks for any advice,

Giving students online access to (our) videos is as easy as 1-2-3.

1. Determine the video(s) you or your department will need for the year, how 
many students need to view, and whether learners will access the videos via our 
LMS or yours*.

2. Find your pricing on the chart below


# of Users


1st Video


Addt'l Videos


1-50


$395


$100 each


51-100


$595


$150 each


101-150


$895


$200 each


151-200


$1,100


$250 each


Call if you need pricing for more than 200 users.

For example, say your department needs to stream 3 videos for various courses 
to be offered throughout the year, and expects to need access for anywhere from 
80-100 students.
You would pick User Level 2 (51-100) and your price would be $895 ($595 for the 
first title, $150 each for the 2nd and 3rd titles.) This equates to $2.98 per 
student per video.
Note: This type of subscription would give you 100 logins; each login would 
have unlimited access to all three videos. (You would not have 100 logins for 
each video separately. For that type of usage, please ask us about 
"pay-per-view".)

3. Call or email us with your order! We'll quickly get you set up on our 
platform, or send you a file for each video chosen.

I wrote back to the vendor and gave them a blunt statement that this model is 
unacceptable, unscalable, and far out strips even the most expensive of 
streaming licenses out there.

Re: [Videolib] No more DVDs?

2015-11-03 Thread Sarah E. McCleskey
This is a very interesting discussion. I think it depends on the kind of 
library you are and the type of collecting you are doing.

Our collection has very much been developed over the years in response to the 
needs of the teaching faculty. Most items have had some use, because most items 
were bought upon request. Over the years, I have transitioned those very 
popular titles to DVD, and now to streaming. But I’m not trying to collect at a 
research level, or to try to purchase everything in perpetuity; it’s not within 
the scope of the collection here. Maybe I am doing future patrons a disservice, 
but at the moment I am getting the current patrons what they want.

So, my licensing would look very different from someone like Susan at a small 
liberal arts college, or Jo Ann, at an ARL library.

I totally see everyone’s point in this discussion. Especially the 
preservation/Section 108 dimension. I don’t think there is a right or wrong 
answer, just many different solutions for many different types of collections.

For UConn also, the only equivalent of a DVD purchase is streaming video with 
perpetual rights, or at the very least, life of file format. Chris’ comments on 
how DVDs are used is classes is the same here.

The cost of licensing a stream for short terms is just too prohibitive. It 
limits the amount of new material we can purchase to have to pay for the same 
material over and over again. We just don’t have the budget for it.

For me, the only equivalent for a DVD purchase is a streaming video with 
in-perpetuity rights that we can host locally. We have many VHS tapes and DVDs 
from companies like Carousel, Films Inc., and LAVA that have gone out of 
business - but we can still use their titles because we own a tangible version. 
That wouldn't be the case if the only option was to license a streaming version 
hosted by the distributor.
I understand that this is the direction the studios are headed because the 
average person has adapted to using Netflix, iTunes. etc. but teaching needs 
are different and specialized documentaries (or features) that are perfect for 
a given class may be used regularly long after a distributor has gone out of 
business. It's just the way that classes get taught. Some professors figure out 
a lesson plan and more or less set it on autopilot for a couple decades.  So my 
hope was that independent educational distributors would be at the tail end of 
the DVD weaning process.

Hi Jonathan,

We have been fortunate to be able to subscribe to Docuseek2 and a number of 
other streaming platforms. I am definitely moving in the direction you are 
talking about. If I can possibly get a streaming license (subscription, 
one-off, 3 years, 5 years, perpetual ...) I will do it instead of acquiring a 
DVD.

Most DVD acquisitions I make these days are for feature film titles, things 
that are readily available from the mainstream vendors. Many are for faculty in 
film studies, comp lit, etc. Not all, but many.

I do sometimes get a DVD along with the streaming license, usually so that we 
can rip and upload to a hosting server.

I would not have any problem buying a film that was only available for 
streaming as long as the license terms were acceptable to the university.

Kenneth Crews at Columbia has written a fairly lengthy article on how Fair Use

No there is NO  3 minute rule. Fair Use has always been deliberately vague. You 
are supposed to use the minimum amount that will achieve your goal without 
compromising the heart of the work or the value to the rights holder. In this 
case I would say 99.9% you are fine but two potential issues.
Is this going to be an event that charges admission? This does not in anyway 
rule out "fair use" but it can raise the bar. The other issue is I think less 
legal than practical, I am going to assume you have a Disney version in the 
mix? They are notoriously litigious and often just best to avoid the trouble. I 
would also be careful to credit each version you use material from.
In general the type of thing you describe is what "fair use" was meant for, 
using portions of works to create a new work without harming the original works.
Good luck

Have tried http://www.newdaydigital.com/ as well as links to individual titles

Re: [Videolib] Grassroots collaboration Was RE: Copyright question: American Playhouse Films

2015-08-26 Thread Sarah E. McCleskey
Thanks, Laura, that is a good suggestion.

Does anyone remember the Digital Video Summit a few of us put together in New 
York back in Spring of 2010? We followed it up with a similar type event that 
Fall at National Media Market.

I felt that there were lasting positive outcomes from those events, and now, 5 
years and many developments later, perhaps we should revisit the “state of the 
union.”

It is important, I think, for those of us on this list, distributors and 
librarians included, to continue to build relationships of trust. Most 
librarians that I know are striving (yes, through in-depth research and 
creative financing) to *not* rip off any 
rightsholders/filmmakers/distributors/etc. Most librarians I know are eager to 
comply with copyright law (while still exercising fair use, 108, and 110(2) 
rights), and to give credit where credit is due, and to pay a fair price for 
content.

Sure there are “outliers.” I’m not trying to say that no college/university has 
ever streamed a film in its entirety without seeking permission. Some 
institutions have adopted what I would call “riskier” policies for provision of 
audiovisual content through streaming. If those institutions have worked with 
their Legal counsel and feel comfortable with their policies, that’s really 
their business. It’s not how we do things at my institution, where we are in 
general pretty risk-averse.

So maybe we do need another summit, just to bring people together and let it be 
recognized that many of us are on the same wavelength, with similar goals of 
creating or providing excellent audiovisual content to our customers or 
constituents. This could also be a good forum for librarians to communicate to 
distributors about *how* we prefer to access and acquire content (EBA, PDA, 
licensing, purchase, subscription, etc.).

I am on the board of National Media Market. We have set our schedule and 
professional development sessions now for Fall 2015, but I wonder if attendees 
and Exhibiting Partners would want to give up a couple of hours of the 
Exhibitor walk-in sessions we enjoy at that conference, one morning or 
afternoon, for a Digital Video Summit 2.0?

Respond on list or off, and I will coordinate your responses and see if there 
is enough interest to make this happen.

Yours in solidarity,
Sarah @ Hofstra

Hi everyone,

I’m late to the conversation and have not read this whole thread, but I want to 
offer up something that I tried to get started as Chair of the Video Round 
Table last year:  getting filmmakers, distributors, and academic media users 
all in one room.

lorraine wochna curated a great program related to this theme at ALA San 
Francisco:

“PPR: Promoting and Programming in Academic Libraries”
More details here: http://alaac15.ala.org/node/28941

As the title implies, there was discussion of PPR here, but there was also 
discussion of the relationship building between educational users 
(non-individual, non-theatrical) and filmmakers.

This is what I would love to see in events that some of us attend like ALA, or 
the National Media Market.  Are there ways that we can make the process easier 
for us to get great content, often underrepresented perspectives in other 
media, to our users?  When, in trying to do the right thing, library staff are 
spending their days calling celebrities’ agents, digging for producers, and 
playing “hot potato” from distributor-to-distributor and coast-to-coast, that 
might indicate that we might need to rethink how we get getting streaming films 
in front of eyeballs – especially those old things that seem like they aren’t 
able to be monetized to individuals, but are in high demand in education.

I actually do sooo much of this research so that I can, in fact, do the right 
thing.

Just a brain-dump from me….

Re: [Videolib] Asking students to pay for streaming

2015-06-23 Thread Sarah E. McCleskey
We do kind of a hybrid model. I license what I can, and have tried to make as 
many titles available as possible through the various streaming platforms. But 
when a film is not available for licensing but is available through one of the 
paid streaming services, I have suggested that to faculty and have not had 
negative repercussions. I think someone else mentioned that (for example) Sony 
Pic Classics will not license for streaming. So if we can direct students to 
amazon, Netflix, indieflix, etc., I think it is a valid option. We have the 
videos in the library if the student doesn’t want to pay. But I think the 
convenience factor far outweighs the minimal cost of a rental stream. I try to 
provide the faculty member with several options whenever possible. I see the 
paid option as a cost of education, similar to textbooks but less expensive.  
Having said that, I suggest the paid option much less often than I figure out a 
way to provide content to students without cost to them.

Subject: [Videolib] Asking students to pay for streaming

Hello again,

Our library has been streaming faculty requests via ShareStream, (almost 700 in 
the fall of 2014) but we're changing our policy to ask that if students wish to 
stream films and they're available via Amazon or Netflix that they purchase 
their own streaming media. Of course the DVD will be available for checkout in 
the library for free. I'm curious if other libraries have this policy too and 
if so how patrons--including faculty--reacted when it was adopted. Has it been 
successful?

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. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
