Re: [Videolib] Now Showing @ ALA Film Program - ALA Midwinter in Atlanta

[Threatt, Monique Louise]

I was thinking the same thing, but there may, or may not be some red-tape 
affiliated with its showing at ALA.

Someone will need to be there with a Netflix account to gain access.

But, what the hay, submit and see what happens!

It's way past midnight in Los Angeles, and this might be a sleep-deprived idea 
- but in light of our recent conversations sparked by 13th, combined with the 
revolutionary decision by Netflix and DuVernay to allow free public screenings 
of the film - maybe VRT should submit it. Even though it's widely available on 
Netflix, it could draw a good crowd and we could have a lil' Q afterwards 
informed by our upcoming conference call on educational availability of 
Netflix/Amazon titles, among other things.

Is this crazy or what?

Wondering if screening "Here Come the Videofreex" would be useful, even though

I believe Phil H is getting that set up for Chicago.
It would bring more attention to our Gala event.
Or not.

Hi everyone,

ALA Midwinter doesn't always have the film program, so in case anyone didn't

still accepting submissions this week.

Hello Team Videolib:

I think the issue here is not Netflix at all or FilmSprout who typically just 
handles community screenings.

Netflix does NOT hold EDU rights and doesn't seem to plan to at this point. I 
had lunch with my buyer at Netflix 2 weeks ago and discussed this with him 
specifically. If you want a film for EDU, the best method would be to contact 
either the filmmaker specifically or a distributor who can help acquire the 
film for your library.

An example of how this worked out perfectly was via a VideoLib post last year 
when a librarian was looking for the Netflix title MY OWN MAN.

I had never heard of the film before, but after seeing a high interest from 
libraries, found the filmmaker and acquired the rights directly, so I can offer 
to libraries. Our company can easily make that contact as well as most 
distributors on this e-mail chain.

We have worked with other Ava Duvernay documentaries in the past, so right now 
I am in the process of contacting her production company to speak with them 
directly about the high interest from educators. Hopefully, I can be an outlet 
to help get the title offered to you if they don't have a company locked in to 
do so yet. If they do, I will let you all know.  No promises, just an e-mail 
and a phone call for now, but on the case!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Best,

Mat

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

If it were up to me, since she would be using them in their entirety, I would

A person's relationship to a university or lack thereof does not have any

Re: [Videolib] due date slips for av material?

[Threatt, Monique Louise]

We currently provide both an e-mail notification, and printed receipt/date due 
slip.

Hmm, I may need to have a conversation with our Circ supervisor to find out if 
it's more efficient to only send electronic receipt notifications.

To Barb - yes, indeed.  I have at least 3 people in mind who consistently do 
not comprehend the verbal meaning of "this item is due back on ."  And, I 
just love those patrons who argue with me stating that they have returned a 
DVD, and it's the library's fault that we can't find it on the shelf, only to 
write me back several days later to say "Oops, I found it!  I'll bring it to 
you as soon as I can"  I can only laugh at the excuses sometimes.

Subject: [Videolib] due date slips for av material?

Greetings everyone and apologies for cross-posting,

We are exploring the idea of going paperless and doing away with due date slips 
for books. Before extending this to media materials, I'm curious to know if any 
of you with circulating CD and/or DVD collections have already abandoned the 
due date slip and, if so, how you inform patrons about due dates and how this 
has worked to get materials returned on time.

Thanks!

Kudos to Kino for making NPR news this morning regarding their about to be 
released Pioneers of African American Cinema. I watched some of the clips they 
recently sent out and I think they will be valuable additions to our 
collections, for film studies, costume studies, history, and social commentary, 
and more.

[Videolib] Looking for Rights to reuse photographs from the film "The Million Eyes of Sumuru" (1967)

[Threatt, Monique Louise]

Hello,

I have a doozy of a request.

I have a scholar from Russia who is trying to track down permission to reuse 
images from the film "The Million Eyes of Sumuru," (1967).

He is also interested to find archival resources as well.

I've checked the imdb.com database, but I was unable to find a link to the 
original production company.

Worldcat lists UCLA Film & Television Archives as owning a film print.  
However, when I visited the UCLAF website and searched their catalog, this 
title did not appear.

Any help is greatly appreciated about where a person might find the rights to 
reuse images from this film, as well as which archive, if any, has film 
memorabilia, etc.

Best,
Monique

Hello Monique,
I had the same thoughts as Jessica about claiming fair use for the images, but 
also--like Jessica--wondered if the international nature of the scholarship, or 
publisher requirements, were driving his search for permissions.

Anyhow, I think I may have some useful information for your scholar.  I noticed 
this film was used in an episode of MST3K, leading me to wonder if it might be 
public domain.  Alas, the film's copyright was renewed in 1995:
Type of Work: Motion Picture
Registration Number / Date: RE703392 / 1995-06-29
Renewal registration for: LP035115 / 1967-05-17
Title: The 1,000,000 eyes of Su-Maru.
Copyright Claimant: Sumuru Films, Ltd. (PWH)
Names: Sumuru Films, Ltd.

It appears that Sumuru Films, Ltd. was subsequently dissolved, but that their 
holdings would have transferred to (Sumuru director) Harry Alan Towers' company 
Towers of London (Film) 
Limited<https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/07750328>.  The current 
director of the company is Veronique Beatrix Van Broekhoven.  The researcher 
can contact her via snail mail at 2 Castle Gate Mill, Cragg Vale, Hebden 
Bridge, West Yorkshire, HX7 5SJ in the UK.  Towers' widow--Austrian 
actress/Jesus Franco regular Maria Rohm--has a website and may be able to 
provide a more modern form of contact info for the company.

http://www.mariarohm.com/contact-maria/
The BFI catalog<http://collections-search.bfi.org.uk/web/search/simple> lists a 
print of the film and a small collection of ephemera, including press books and 
a script treatment, in their Special Collections.

Wow you sure come up with obscure ones.
I am not clear what the scholar wants the images for but if it for something in 
the US it would almost surely be covered by "fair use" since he only wants 
images. One problem might be that if he needs them for a book or similar 
publishers often require clearance  even if it is not legally needed but then 
again use outside the US is not so clear.

There is a good chance the film does not even have a valid US copyright however 
since it was not made in the US,  a retroactive copyright could theoretically 
be filed.
There appear to be some copies of questionable origin floating around the 
internet.

No idea if they still exist after such a long time but it is a place to

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.

Dear Videolib friends

As many of you know Icarus Films has been helping to build, and currently has 
over 300 titles on, Docuseek2, to provide colleges and universities streaming 
access to our collection over the internet.

Yes, we continue to invest in producing and releasing DVDs of the same titles. 
And, as streaming usage increases, selling fewer and fewer of them.

It is making me wonder if we should stop selling DVDs altogether, not producing 
them at all for new films, and not ordering any more once we sell the last one 
of an older one.

What do you think would happen if we did that?

How many of you would definitely NOT buy or use a film that a professor or 
collection development librarian wanted to have, if it was ONLY available via 
streaming?

I’m serious in asking this question, I think it may be time to take a (perhaps) 
drastic step, and not another small incremental one.  What do you think?

Monique and I actually talked about this a bit while at National Media Market.  
(Hint:  If you don’t go, YOU SHOULD!!)

While I’m one of those who feels the need to mention our school’s small size 
(925) because it helps to explain both a small budget and very modest potential 
usage, I get what Monique is saying about large school frustration.  And while 
I would continue to “argue” that large universities can more readily manage to 
build collections and provide access than can small schools, it is because of 
the size of the acquisition budget more than because of FTE.  (I mean, let’s 
face it, if we each preview and desire the same 95 films from Market, a budget 
in excess of $100K is going to be able to manage that much better than a budget 
of $20K!)  But I have begun to see the benefit of what Monique suggests in  
basing any tiered pricing on BUDGET, rather than on FTE, since FTE isn’t 
*necessarily* directly proportional to budget.

Also, many community colleges and public libraries have budgets much larger 
than mine, and yet they are often grouped together and given a substantial 
discount compared to the college/university group which contains such vastly 
differently-sized populations and budgets.  Another argument, imo, for a 
budget-based setup.

Okay, that ends my campaign for tiered pricing based upon FTE or budget, rather 
than on classification. :)

To more directly answer the original question:  our first foray into streamed 
video services were Swank’s Digital Campus and several Media Education 
Foundation titles through Kanopy.  We have since begun a (modest) step into the 
Kanopy PDA model and are anxious to see how well it is received on our campus, 
and we have a subscription to Criterion on Demand’s collection.  Beyond this, 
we simply can’t commit to streaming service, as any commitment to that format 
means a direct reduction in physical format acquisition.

Hello,

I too agree with Deg, and Nancy’s comments.

My university subscribes to numerous platforms, many of which are mentioned 
below.

My preference is to purchase the DVD w/ perpetual streaming rights which can 
then be hosted on a local server. Otherwise, for commercial platforms, using 
either the PDA or EBA model is my first choice.

I would also like to see more independent, and studio filmmakers participate in 
future conferences to address economic ways to provide Rights to their films.

I really liked what Ana said during her presentation at Market.  To paraphrase, 
just because we are a large university does not mean that we have unlimited 
budgets to purchase streaming titles.

The idea of “tiered-pricing” really needs to be restructured.  Large 
universities continue to ‘take one for the team’ when it comes to purchasing 
documentary DVDs. We still pay the $200-400 price tag w/PPR, because we believe 
in the content, and we believe in supporting the filmmaker, and distributor.

However, it’s not a sustainable model to purchase the $300 DVD, and then be 
charged an additional annual fee of $150 to have access to its streaming 
counterpart.  There is also the concern (well, there are several) of vendors 
losing their right to distribute heavily-used documentaries.

In closing, just because a school may have nearly 50,000 students, I assure you 
that less than 10% of the student population are actually accessing the films.  
A hike in stats usually is the result of a required film course assignment.

There needs to be a better solution to lowering the cost of streaming so that 
it is affordable for all schools.  Perhaps, vendors should market their 
streaming platforms based on budget, and not FTE.

I know I’m not alone in my comments.

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.

I am the media librarian for a large public university.

It is my preference to be able to purchase videos directly, with streaming 
rights in perpetuity (life of file).

I know that I am not alone in this preference and that many other librarians 
that I know, do not want an access model that requires us to repeatedly re-pay 
for the same content.

We are accustomed to purchasing a DVD and owning the DVD for loan or classroom 
use.  Having to pay for a title again after one or three years (a predominant 
licensing model) saps our acquisition budgets and limits our ability to acquire 
additional new content.

Many of us have our own hosting systems.  While we may (and most of us do)

Hi, all,

This probably has been discussed before, but I can't remember.  A patron 
donated several DVDs and CDs that had been distributed and have a label 
indicating that "Item is for promotional use only, sale or other transfer is 
prohibited, must be returned on demand of the recording company."   Can we add 
this type of material, or is it destined for our booksale?

Hi Bob,

I know the topic is not a popular one among certain groups, but for many media 
librarians, it is an issue that I hope we can address in the near future.

I'd be interested to know, off-line, how many media librarians have received a 
substantial budget increase within the past two-to-five years.

Good weekend, all.

Subject: Re: [Videolib] preferred streaming service

Monique and I actually talked about this a bit while at National Media Market.  
(Hint:  If you don't go, YOU SHOULD!!)

While I'm one of those who feels the need to mention our school's small size 
(925) because it helps to explain both a small budget and very modest potential 
usage, I get what Monique is saying about large school frustration.  And while 
I would continue to "argue" that large universities can more readily manage to 
build collections and provide access than can small schools, it is because of 
the size of the acquisition budget more than because of FTE.  (I mean, let's 
face it, if we each preview and desire the same 95 films from Market, a budget 
in excess of $100K is going to be able to manage that much better than a budget 
of $20K!)  But I have begun to see the benefit of what Monique suggests in  
basing any tiered pricing on BUDGET, rather than on FTE, since FTE isn't 
*necessarily* directly proportional to budget.

Also, many community colleges and public libraries have budgets much larger 
than mine, and yet they are often grouped together and given a substantial 
discount compared to the college/university group which contains such vastly 
differently-sized populations and budgets.  Another argument, imo, for a 
budget-based setup.

Okay, that ends my campaign for tiered pricing based upon FTE or budget, rather 
than on classification. :)

To more directly answer the original question:  our first foray into streamed 
video services were Swank's Digital Campus and several Media Education 
Foundation titles through Kanopy.  We have since begun a (modest) step into the 
Kanopy PDA model and are anxious to see how well it is received on our campus, 
and we have a subscription to Criterion on Demand's collection.  Beyond this, 
we simply can't commit to streaming service, as any commitment to that format 
means a direct reduction in physical format acquisition.

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

[Threatt, Monique Louise]

I totally agree with you, Jessica.
For those of us who were able to attend the various ALA sessions in the past 
(sponsored by VRT) with Carrie, Patricia, and their lawyer, it’s still amazes 
me that we find ourselves going around and around in circles about this very 
issue.
Perhaps, there are no solutions to this dilemma.

And, I’d like to stress that vendors have their hands tied in the types of 
films, and rights that they can legally license to academic institutions.  
Vendors are not the problem.

If only institutions could legally partner with Amazon on Demand, Netflix, 
Hulu, iTunes, and other popular sites, then what a wonderful world this would 
be. ☺  Disney, are you listening? *sighs*

On the other hand, this thread makes me want to explore other national 
conferences where all parties are represented and not just the usual suspects.

Is anyone aware if these types of topics/panel discussions are held at 
independent film festivals where you are likely to engage in conversations with 
independent filmmakers?

Dennis does a great job covering copyright issues here  but I think in order to 
add real balance to the discussion of copyright, fair use  streaming issues 
the academic community (and here I am thinking more ALA than NMM) needs to 
reach out and include lawyers who can present the view of major rights holders. 
I agree with Dennis that many of them ( MPAA cough cough) are pretty clueless 
but it is essential they participate in these discussions be they webinars or 
sessions at ALA and NMM. I can think of one terrific intellectual property 
lawyer who did participate in the one conference  that did invite major rights 
holders ( the one at Columbia a few years ago). He has represented both non 
profits and major rights holders and knows more about the state of copyright , 
fair use etc than anyone I can think of. However his day job is at a very high 
end law film so I don't know if he could attend something like NMM but you 
never know. It is however crucial in my view that ALA  and the academic 
community outreach to large rights holders and invite them to participate in 
these ongoing copyright events because by an large you are still getting a 
very one sided opinion and it is somewhat shocking that the library community 
in particular would not make an effort to get differing opinions.
PS I am happy to pass on whatever contacts I have to folks setting up any type 
of copyright on or offline session.

And I too have to send my regrets, but as those on our mailing list know, Amy 
and I have produced our first feature film ever 
(http://filmbysamuelbeckett.com/) --ironically, some of it's based on fair use 
-- and it's having it's world premiere on October 17th. To be honest, my travel 
these days is mostly regarding the politics and laws to save films, the fight 
to preserve ALL materials (outtakes and unknown films along with digital-born 
works are being left behind), and any of my knowledge of copyright is just an 
outgrowth of those efforts. Distribution allows me to afford to do that.

I do agree with Jessica that most of these meetings on fair use have been 
unbalanced without representatives of rights holders present and there's a lot 
of wringing of hands over the perceived strength of the copyright holders. The 
reality is that with the internet, copyright infringement is so vast that the 
rights holders have almost zero control of their materials these days. And most 
studios are afraid to sue over new technology uses because they are afraid of 
losing. And they're fairly ignorant on copyright as it turns out. (I hear about 
their meetings and it's not impressive.) The multitude of copyright laws across 
the world also create further confusion.

BUT -- I've stayed with this listserv for many years and have waged battles, 
expressed sympathy and celebrated triumphs with many of you (still waiting for 
that Cubs miracle) because I do believe that this is the best forum for 
discussing our differences. I do have a life long love of librarians as the 
keepers of culture. (Though to be brutally honest, if you truly believe you are 
preservationists, you would be participating in AMIA and attend their events 
because the preservation world in regards to multimedia is changing rapidly. 
Did you know that polyester mag tracks are now threatened? That was last week's 
news at The Reel Thing.) So, if we could discuss a 2016 NMM meeting, I'd love 
to come out and work with you all on a platform where institutional budgets and 
rights holder interests can be debated and a statement of best practices can be 
made.

rights holders. Those made outside the US may never have had US distribution , 
others may have in the past but the contract has expired and reverted back to 
someone outside the US. They are difficult but not impossible to track down but 
frankly in the majority of cases they are not interested in making a deal for 
one film for one institution. Its a bitch but it is their right. Likewise a lot 
of American indie films have expired contracts and have pretty much identical 
issues with the foreign films. Even if you find the rights holder there is 
reasonable chance especially with a film older than 10 years that they do not 
own those rights because the were not in the original contract and require 
getting permission and paying multiple parties. Fun stuff.
On the positive side streaming is something most rights holders want to offer 
so they are usually aggressively working on it but there can be all kinds of 
legal, financial and technical issues that they have to clear.
I think librarians need to make a concerted effort to fulfill a streaming 
request but at the same time they also have to accept and get the instructor to 
accept that not every film can be streamed and they might have to consider 
options like a different title or actually having students watch it on a DVD ( 
if you have a legal copy of that)
Librarians and rights holders should absolutely be working together on these 
issues. Clearly if a rights holder has to surmount  costly issues to make a 
film available for streaming then knowing libraries want to purchase it will 
help. I think accessing feature films at least through Hulu, Amazon, Fandor etc 
is honestly more practical in many cases at least for films that played in 
theaters not those made or focused on the educational market
Bottom line educational institutions and rights holders must work together but 
it needs to be broader group of rights holders  and instructors need to 
understand that they can't stream every film they might want.

to preserve ALL materials (outtakes and unknown films along with digital-born 
works are being left behind), and any of my knowledge of copyright is just an 
outgrowth of those efforts. Distribution allows me to afford to do that.

I do agree with Jessica that most of these meetings on fair use have been 
unbalanced without representatives of rights holders present and there's a lot 
of wringing of hands over the perceived strength of the copyright holders. The 
reality is that with the internet, copyright infringement is so vast that the 
rights holders have almost zero control of their materials these days. And most 
studios are afraid to sue over new technology uses because they are afraid of 
losing. And they're fairly ignorant on copyright as it turns out. (I hear about 
their meetings and it's not impressive.) The multitude of copyright laws across 
the world also create further confusion.

BUT -- I've stayed with this listserv for many years and have waged battles, 
expressed sympathy and celebrated triumphs with many of you (still waiting for 
that Cubs miracle) because I do believe that this is the best forum for 
discussing our differences. I do have a life long love of librarians as the 
keepers of culture. (Though to be brutally honest, if you truly believe you are 
preservationists, you would be participating in AMIA and attend their events 
because the preservation world in regards to multimedia is changing rapidly. 
Did you know that polyester mag tracks are now threatened? That was last week's 
news at The Reel Thing.) So, if we could discuss a 2016 NMM meeting, I'd love 
to come out and work with you all on a platform where institutional budgets and 
rights holder interests can be debated and a statement of best practices can be 
made.

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

[Threatt, Monique Louise]

Hello,

Just my nickle’s worth.  This is indeed a wonderful post, and I would like to 
see a forum held in the near future either during Market, or at some other 
venue which could (re)address these issues.
Libraries across the board are suffering deeply with budget/travel cuts, so it 
would be interesting to know which conferences are most likely to attract the 
necessary participants for this discussion.

I think one of the underlying problems for most instructors is the “wait” 
game—that time between an instructor’s need to have immediate access to a 
streaming title versus the prolonged time it can take to track down, and obtain 
written permission from a rights holder.
This is a very frustrating process for instructors.  It would be helpful for 
someone to develop a white paper, or other form of correspondence with clear 
cut instructions and options for instructors to follow.  Right now, the search 
is a tedious process.
However, if an instructor is aware that it may take up to a month to receive an 
answer from a rights holder, then h/she may want to rethink which films they 
would want to add to their syllabus, etc.

Again, this topic has come up before at other conferences such as CCUMC – do we 
want instructor’s to have free will to dictate which films they would want to 
show in class, or do we leave it to vendors to say this is what we have, take 
it or leave it?

To sum up how I feel about those who take risks, and those who don’t.  I 
attended a copyright conference earlier this year, and what I took away from 
that conference is that you have some lawyers who are risk-takers, and some who 
are not.
Interpreting copyright and fair use laws/guidelines as they apply to media is a 
sticky subject and debatable topic.   I need only to read the posts here on the 
videolib listserv to see that we are a diverse group with diverse opinions.
As a rule, and as mentioned here, it is always advisable to consult with your 
academic Counsel.  However, some institutions may find themselves hiring 
Counsels over the years with differing opinions about copyright, etc.
I think there are exceptions to the rule, and nothing is clear-cut, black or 
white.

I will say that I love having the opportunity to be able to provide my patrons 
with access to various streaming models, and vendors.  However, there will 
never exist the “dream-team” or “magical” bundle package to meet the needs of 
my patrons.  Vendors need to take into account that instructors today are using 
current contemporary films, and we need to find a way to provide streaming 
access to those films.  Otherwise, the money is going to go more and more to 
Netflix, Hulu, etc.
It’s no secret that I wish to see better models offered and a better selection 
of films from commercial vendors.

Thanks,
Monique

Sarah, I couldn’t agree with you more – on all points!

The vast majority of video librarians with whom I communicate are in that same 
camp of working their butts off to do things right and to develop and maintain 
positive relationships with producers and distributors, and to do their best to 
educate members of their campus communities about what’s kosher and what’s not. 
 (Or at least what our college attorneys have indicated they’re willing to 
consider kosher and not.  Like Sarah, ours tend to be fairly risk-averse.)

I love this idea of an impromptu Video Digital Summit 2.0!

BTW, if you are a member of Videolib who DOESN’T typically attend NMM, I would 
strongly urge you to consider coming.  Not only are those professional 
development sessions wonderful, so are the relationships you will begin to 
create with the distributors… and so are the discounts you will realize.  
Besides that, it’s a bargain to attend, we have loads of fun (because, really, 
who is more fun than people who work with film?? ;)), and you almost certainly 
will more than cover the cost of your attendance with the accompanying 
discounts on post-Market purchases.  Really – there’s no reason not to go!

Spoken like an NMM board member, huh? ;)

Here's the full message from WGBH rep:



The first thing we would need to do is determine if we legally have

the right to make this program available on Open Vault.  We do this by

asking for a non-refundable $60.00 payment to conduct rights research.

We do this by reviewing contract and other documents and then consult

our legal department.

If we determine we cannot publish the program on Open Vault, then

unfortunately, you've spent $60.00 to help us determine that.

If we determine we can make the program available then the next step

would be to collect the remaining fee to actually digitize, add

metadata and publish to Open Vault.



The fee can change depending on the format we have in the Archives for

that specific program.  I've quoted prices between $250.00 and $375.00.



If you would like more information or a more accurate quote, please

let me know.



Thank you for your interest in Open Vault.

Retracting my comment about how long.

What I'm hearing is that if an institution, or consortium agrees to pay the 
research fee, and the cost to upload the film (if available for digitization), 
then the whole world has access to that film?

Hmm, I'd be willing to possibly contribute a small amount to this project if 
other institutions are interested.

Subject: Re: [Videolib] Looking for annual data on video circulation in 
academic libraries

It is, indeed, a very interesting question since different vendors count views 
or engagement differently. I was recently looking closely at views/engagement 
for some streams from different vendors for a course and comparing vendor data 
with data from Ares. The Ares data shows user id by date/time. When you look at 
this level of granularity you see multiple hits by the same user within very 
short periods of time, sometimes 10 hits or more in a minute. Clearly they are 
not watching a full film in that short space of time nor are they gaining a 
meaningful browse or “engagement”.  This type of data must be taken with a 
grain of salt. Someone should be able to devise an algorithm based on data 
(patron behavior, hit length, and computer issues) that could be applied to the 
hit data to provide a more realistic picture of what patrons are actually 
watching.

Engagement, depending on how it is defined by the vendor, is probably a better 
measure but still requires some framing. For me, engagement would have to be at 
least 15% or more of the total run time. Certainly not a hit of 30 seconds or 
less, even a couple of minutes for a two hour films is questionable. And, if, 
over time, a film never shows that it is watched in its entirety, should we be 
paying full price or purchasing access to the desired clip? Or, dare I say it?, 
claiming fair use instead.

We need to ask vendors pointed questions about the data they are supplying us. 
Vendors need to be very transparent about that data collection and presentation 
process in order to avoid being labeled as the fox guarding the henhouse .

What data are you counting? Hits to a url or some percentage of the total film 
length a user spent with a film (engagement)?
If its number of minutes watched, what percentage of the total films did those 
minute comprise?
How do you define engagement?
How many different users engaged?
What was the date range of the engagement/hits?
What was the last date of engagement/hits?
Were the hits/engagement all for the same portion of the film (clips vs. 
watching a film)?

Streams are expensive and I am sure we are not the only library to be taking 
budget hits. We need to be sure we are paying for streams our patrons are 
actually watching and not just browsing or pinging on trying to get them to 
load, or some other computer issue that is clouding patron use.

I would advocate for a different model altogether, purchase of streams outright 
for a reasonable price the way we purchased VHS, then DVD. Actual ownership of 
the format until it changes to a new format. Then all this counting could be 
amortized over a much longer period of time, the enormous and expensive 
investment libraries make in purchasing licenses, tracking licenses, and 
renewing licenses could be better spent on other activities. And perhaps we 
would have the time to devise an automated way to track patron viewing behavior 
that would provide us with meaningful and reliable data on which to base 
purchase decisions.

I think Jonathan asks a very interesting question. The different platforms for 
streaming report “engagement” or how long someone viewed the content, with 
varying degrees of granularity. But I know that for us hard copy circulation is 
steadily declining and streaming use is growing every year. Unfortunately our 
hard copy collection also took an accessibility hit a couple of years ago when 
I had to reduce hours in the Film and Media Library, because of a rather 
unexpected staff loss due to a layoff.  So I think the physical collection has 
had several strikes against it. I have hatched a scheme to move the physical 
collection back to the main library for greater accessibility, but that may not 
come to fruition for several years.

Accordingly, I am adding fewer and fewer DVDs and more and more streaming 
titles.

Hi everyone,

I have a faculty who would like to introduce 'global health' issues (any and 
all) using a FEATURE FILM.  Not a documentary.
I am tapped, cannot think of any titles that cover the subject of global health.
She is willing to go outside the box - Blood Diamond is too far outside the 
box, but she is looking for any issue on global health (AIDS, viruses, dirty 
water causes malaria, etc.)
ANY ideas are greatly appreciated.
Really though, no docs.

[Videolib] Best Practices old vhs tapes / Best Practices for Discarding VHS tapes

[Threatt, Monique Louise]

Hello,

There has been numerous posts on this listserv about the use of Section 108, 
and recycling vhs tapes.

I’m glad to know that many of you will be involved in the process to create a 
best practice guide to be posted to ALA Connect. I hope guidelines for 
discarding vhs tapes will also be included in that document.

I’m positive that we all follow guidelines similar to the one outlined by Jo 
Ann at UConn (see below) with some minor exceptions. I’m sure that we all 
engage in doing our best to donate or recycle old vhs tapes.

I will be giving a brief presentation on archiving and recycling vhs tapes in 
the near future.  I want to create a very basic slide for recycling vhs tapes, 
and I welcome your input to tell me if I’m missing something.

Suggested Tips to Discard VHS Tapes

Preface:  Follow best practice guidelines as outlined in Section 108, Copyright 
Act.  If space permits, preserve one master vhs copy in your collection in case 
archival replacements become damaged.
The following guidelines apply to the removal of duplicate vhs titles.


Ø  Remove the record from Catalog, Workflow, etc.

Ø  Is there a book sale at your academic institution?  Public Library?

Ø  Create a list of local businesses, such as Goodwill, shelters, prisons who 
may be willing to accept vhs donations.

Ø  Create a list of local, state, and national recycling centers.  Is there a 
cost associate with shipping?  Is it a do-it-yourself operation, or will the 
company pack the items for you?

Additional Resources:

How To Dispose VHS Tapes:
http://www.toysgowhere.com/how_5121738_dispose-vhs-tapes.html


Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Best,
Monique


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.

Re: [Videolib] Netflix Streaming and Face-to-Face

Hiya Kim,

This is a very good topic.  I'd be interested to see where this discussion 
leads to, because I have concerns about what do when an instructor wants to use 
a film for class that is not commercially available on DVD, but only available 
via Amazon stream, NetFlix, or iTunes.

Hi all,

Is there any consensus on the legality of faculty using their own person 
Netflix Streaming account in a face to face classroom situation. I have always 
assumed it was fine. Access was legally acquired and would fall under 110(1).

Another support department on my campus is saying, no, it's not legal because 
Netflix's terms of service trump 110. They are coming to this conclusion based 
on advice from an inhouse 
articlehttp://www.library.unt.edu/news/may-one-stream-netflix-video-class-use 
written by our Scholarly Communications Librarian.  I never saw eye to eye with 
this librarian on media related copyright issues, his interpretations do not 
necessarily reflect those of the  campus legal office AND he recently left the 
university.  So I'm trying to find something  else solid that addresses this 
issue.

I flipped back through Ciara Healy's Library Trends article, but it doesn't 
seem to address the copyright issue. Can anyone point me to something?

Thanks!

That link is from almost 2 years ago.

It was not a second case it was an appeal.

The case was never tried on merits.  The judge dismissed on the basis of AIME 
not having standing and UCLA having sovereign immunity.  In my opinion the 
judge clearly overstepped in adding to the dismissal other comments on fair 
use, PPR, and licensing.  They were not germane to the ruling and only serve to 
cloud the issue.

To date there has been NO case that has ruled on the legality of digitizing for 
streaming purposes complete in-print copyrighted videos.

Thus we do not.  

According to the Survey of Academic Library Streaming Video, (Hutchison, J. and 
farrelly, d. (2013),  58% of academic libraries that provide streaming video DO 
NOT digitize and stream on request.  Of the 42% that do digitize and stream on 
request, 25% limit to clips or segments only

In short, we don't do it!

The library is unwilling to assume responsibility for the stability and 
continued access to content that we do not own (or have licenses access to)

My Streaming Video Libguide (http://libguides.asu.edu/streamingvideo)
provides a tab that lists Internet sources.  But the site includes a
disclaimer:  ASU Libraries is not responsible for any of the content linked 
from these sites.  We cannot guarantee availability of the content they 
provide, nor assume responsibility for the functionality of these sites.


Many of these sites restructure, change URL paths, or otherwise alter content.  
The library has limited staff to deal with the myriad herculean tasks of 
providing metadata and catalog records for the content that we do own or 
license.  Dealing with open access content is just too much to take on.

That said, it would be interesting to see if media professionals could mount a 
web 2.o/crowd source solution pointing to excellent sources on open access 
sites.

For example:  The Amish:  A people of Preservation is on Folkstreams.

Hello,
I'm gathering information about the processes around the inclusion of 
open access streaming media in library catalogs/discovery platforms.
I'm curious about selection guidelines, cataloging best practices, 
technical issues related to access and playback, popular collections, 
and philosophical discussions about collection development and the 
inclusion of open access content in the library catalog.
Best,

For those of you who couldn't attend the National Media Market this year -

We are happy to announce the winner of the 2013 Best of Show. Please join us in 
congratulating Rosner Educational Media for their winning entry, Nuremberg: Its 
Lesson for Today. You can see a 10 minute clip of the film here

About the film:
Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today shows how the international prosecutors built 
their case against the top Nazi leaders using their own films-devastating 
evidence of atrocities that are still shocking today. The trial established the 
Nuremberg principles, the foundation for all subsequent trials for crimes 
against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

Anthony,

Actually the Hot Topics tables was held during VRT at ALA, and it was a great 
success!

Not all media librarians/paraprofessionals are able to attend the National 
Media Market, although I do remember the Hot Topic tables at NMM were also a 
tremendous success.

Just my two cents.

We did a similar program about a decade ago - with tables with specialist to 
discuss topics like acquisitions - collections - reference - equipment - 
cataloging.  I can pull my old info from the program.  You could spend time 
with a topic, then there was a call to move to another group.We had about 2 VRT

Well attended, and attendees could focus on their area of interest.

Colleagues! As a matter of curiosity, I was wondering just how much formal 
training did you receive in assuming your roles as media librarians? I ask the 
same question also for those who are not media librarians (like myself), but 
still do a fair amount of media work as part of their jobs. I assume many of 
you probably have degrees in film (or communications) studies, but did you ever 
take any media classes at library school. I know that many library schools 
offer courses in government documents, but does anyone know of any library 
schools offering video librarianship courses? Might there be any relatively 
recent books on the subject of video librarianship?

Or did many of you learn video librarianship from what you picked (or are 
picking up now) on the job?

I pose these questions because the Video Round Table is considering

 I agree, and I think part of the success of the Hot Topics tables at ALA was 
that we could reach a broader audience, including all the acquisitions folks 
that deg has referred to as becoming the next group of media folk and others 
who get swept into media work without the background or experience.
Oh my gosh, you've sucked me out of my lurking status, ack! :)

We did a similar program about a decade ago - with tables with specialist to 
discuss topics like acquisitions - collections - reference - equipment - 
cataloging.  I can pull my old info from the program.  You could spend time 
with a topic, then there was a call to move to another group.We had about 2 VRT 
members with each group.

Well attended, and attendees could focus on their area of interest.

work as part of their jobs but are not media librains)

Colleagues! As a matter of curiosity, I was wondering just how much formal 
training did you receive in assuming your roles as media librarians? I ask the 
same question also for those who are not media librarians (like myself), but 
still do a fair amount of media work as part of their jobs. I assume many of 
you probably have degrees in film (or communications) studies, but did you ever 
take any media classes at library school. I know that many library schools 
offer courses in government documents, but does anyone know of any library 
schools offering video librarianship courses? Might there be any relatively 
recent books on the subject of video librarianship?

Or did many of you learn video librarianship from what you picked (or are 
picking up now) on the job?

I pose these questions because the Video Round Table is considering the idea 
(among other proposals) of possibly holding at next summer's ALA a program 
entitled Video Librarianship 101:
a workshop for librarians just getting into video librarianship or for those 
librarians who are not exclusively 'media librarians' but have positions which 
entail  having a fair amount of video responsibilities. Topics might include:

* PPR/institutional rates

* Tracking down PPR for a single campus or community showing

* Working with faculty, other librarians, students, and public library 
users in building up and publicizing video collections

* Streaming: opportunities and challenges. Hoopla?

* Allowing video collections to fully circulate and displaying them 
openly (as opposed to keeping them behind the circulation desk).


Would any of you out there find such a program to be of any interest?


Cheers!
Anthony

Hello Collective Minds,

I am interested in subscribing to the online version of Rosetta Stone, but I 
would like more information/ feedback from academic librarians.

I've attended two of their online workshops, but I was not overly impressed 
with the presentations.

If you are currently subscribed to the Rosetta Stone database, I'd like to hear 
from you.

Re: [Videolib] Circulating Media Equipment

[Threatt, Monique Louise]

Anne,

We circulate iPod Touch, FlipUltra cameras, digital voice recorders, and analog 
tape recorders.  This service is expected to be transferred to the Information 
Commons, which is open 24/7, possibly within the next year.   Policy and 
description can be found here: 
http://www.libraries.iub.edu/index.php?pageId=3757.

We have an internal tech person who oversees the maintenance of these items.  
Maintenance is performed twice a year during down time over semester breaks.  I 
work with that person to recommend the purchase of digital equipment.

When we first started circulating digital equipment, almost 12 years ago, we 
could not keep the equipment on the shelf.  Today, most students are able to 
afford their own digital equipment.  Within the past five years, the demand for 
digital voice recorders continued to rise. Therefore, we met the demand by 
purchasing an additional 20 voice recorders. 

Our UITS department circulates laptops, headphones, and headphones 
w/microphone.  Students can also purchase ear buds, and thumb drives from our 
East Tower circulation desk at a low cost.

What service point handles the device circulation? (main circ desk, media lab,

Is that same department/person responsible for recommending models to purchase?
Do you have trouble keeping up with patron demand for these devices?

Re: [Videolib] Question about video games

[Threatt, Monique Louise]

Like Jodie, I too purchase video games to serve the teaching, research, and 
leisure needs of our patrons.  Any patron may borrow up to three video games 
for 7 days, with the option to renew for an additional 7 days.  We currently 
have approximately 150 games in all formats, to include PSP.  The IU 
Bloomington campus offers over 30 courses related to gaming: design, practice, 
and theory.

To build the collection, I will ask my students for input, as well as peruse 
other university sites to see what types of games are being purchased. I have 
not run into licensing problems with the games.  But, like Jodie mentions 
below, my problem stems from PC games/key code.   I was terribly upset when our 
patrons could no longer download the PC version of Skyrim due to various 
restrictions, such as someone forgetting to uninstall the game.

I no longer purchase PC games, but will accept PC game donations if they are 
still playable without restrictions. Speaking of donations, one patron donated 
the PC version of Dr. Doom's Revenge complete with an original comic book and 
super hero handbook.  Unfortunately, someone stole the comic book.  My games 
are in security cases, but where there is a will, there is a way.  Also, we had 
a few patrons who try to sell our games to local merchants.  I had to literally 
write letters to local merchants advising them not to accept any games with our 
identifying labels.  I also made the decision to move the gaming collection 
from an open browsing area to a secure area.  Students can still browse the 
collection, but they are within eyesight of our staff.Although I had wanted 
to create a gaming room here in the media center, complete with various 
consoles, I was reassured that a gaming room will be created in the Information 
Commons which is open 24/7.

One final note about games.  Over the past two years, I was able to collaborate 
with faculty from our Telecommunications department to create a permanent 
Reserve Board Game collection here in the library.  I have about 12 board games 
in the collection.   The faculty are responsible to provide me with the board 
games, and I create brief records. The board games cannot leave the room.  All 
board games must be played in-house.

Jodie, I look forward to your panel discussion at ACRL.

Subject: Re: [Videolib] Question about video games

I purchase video games for our library to support a video game design 
certificate and degree emphasis. Our games do circulate outside the library for 
three days and any student/faculty/staff can check them out regardless if they 
are in the video game design classes or not. The circ stats are through the 
roof and I've been working with the student run Video Game Club for suggestions 
on titles to purchase.

We also turned one of our study rooms into a gaming room with PS2 and 3, Wii, 
Xbox 260 and Nintento Game Cube. Anyone can use the room while the library is 
open, bring their own controllers or games, or check out controllers from the 
circulation desk. The controllers and accessories are not allowed to leave the 
library.

I have not run into any licensing issues with the Playstation, Xbox or Wii 
games. The only issues I have run into is with PC games. Typically the key code 
to install and play PC games can only be used a finite number of times. Unless 
the person uninstalls the program after each check out, then once those key 
codes are used up, you can't install or play the game. We've run into this 
issue many times to the point where I no longer purchase PC games.

I had one faculty ask if we could purchase an Xbox game that was only available 
via download. I think it was a Scott Pilgrim game that he wanted the students 
to play for a comics class. I never got a chance to try this out because the 
professor left the university before the course was offered. Oh well.

Feel free to email me off list if you have any other questions. Also this gives 
me a chance to throw in my own shameless plug. I'm co-presenting a panel 
session at ACRL on video games collections in academic libraries. I don't know 
the location, but it is Thursday morning at 10:30 am.

Subject: [Videolib] VRT at ALA Midwinter?

Is it too early to ask about Video Roundtable programs/activities at ALA 
Midwinter?

Usually there is a dinner gathering, sometimes a program or two...

I understand that Brandon Butler will be conducting focus groups for the ARL 
Best Practices in Fair Use investigation.  I've volunteered, but haven't heard 
anything yet about specific date/time or even if I've been selected.

Any word on other activities?

Hello,

Can someone suggest either a distributor for this film, or possibly know how to 
get in contact with its director Carol Amoruso?

Thanks in advance.

I assume it is at McCormick place but you can get there on the bus or train. 
You can also find the nearest ALA hotel and sneak on the shuttle.

Hi All,
Landmark Media is thinking of attending mid winter ALA in January (who wouldn't 
want to get out of Chicago in January?).  Would love to know from all of you 
who usually  attends in the way of  media exhibitors and buyers.  We know it is 
not as heavily attended as mid summer but can you give some good reason to be 
there?  Would appreciate any info you care to share.
Thanks
Bev

Hi All,

My annual appeal to the collective brain:

I have a women's studies instructor who teaches a class on gender issues in 
world film each fall.  She tries to use all new titles each semester, and it 
can be a challenge for her to find a new slate each year.  Any recent releases 
that come to mind would be greatly appreciated.  Here are the topics / areas 
that are of particular interest for her:  intersexuality, reproductive rights, 
marriage choice, prostitution, religion and cultural gendered practices.

She is ONLY interested in feature films -- not documentaries.

Thanks in advance,

[Videolib] THANK YOU...WE HAVE ENOUGH TITLES -- Recommended DVDs on envrionmental sustainability

[Threatt, Monique Louise]

A massive THANK YOU for your generous time, and effort to provide titles on 
sustainability.

We have gathered enough titles to further build and promote sustainability on 
our campus.

Environmental sustainability continues to be a huge theme on many college 
campuses right now.

We will share our suggested/recommended titles with you within the next week 
or two.

The list is by no means a definitive one, but it's a good start for collection 
development building.

Many thanks,
