[Videolib] Pagen in der Traumfabrik. Schwarze Komparsen im deutschen Spielfilm
I'm trying to figure out a way to get a copy of this film. I don't speak
German but the faculty member does and would understand it.
Title: *Pagen in der Traumfabrik. Schwarze Komparsen im deutschen
Spielfilm*("Pages
in the Factory of Dreams. Black Extras in German Feature Films")
Director: Annette von Wangenheim
Distributor: Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR)
It looks like the documentary originally aired on the German TV station
WDR, which is the entity that also distributes the DVD. I checked the WDR
website, but couldn't find a way to watch or purchase the film.

Re: [Videolib] Suggestions for reaching Law School Librarians?
Jessica, What is the film? I will not be at the NMM? I am on some listservs of law librarians and can forward it on, probably not until the week after next as I am out of town. There are a variety of listservs. The main one, law-lib, covers law librarians at all kinds of institutions not just law schools. Among law school librarians, there tend to be many specific ones for librarians involved in reference, acquisitions, etc. I am on some of those. Because I am out of town, I don't have instructions at the moment for whether they are open or closed or whether anyone can post or not.

[Videolib] short docs -- economic justice, poverty, etc.
I have a professor who would like to have an evening montage of short documentary films (sort of in a rotating format) dealing with poverty, homelessness, the recession, income equality, undocumented workers, labor issues, etc. It would be helpful if the films are in the 10-30 minute range because some of the more feature length films have shorter versions that are 40-50 minutes and we could not feature as many if they are closer to an hour.

[Videolib] HBO
I am wondering how other libraries deal with faculty requests for HBO documentaries that they don't sell on DVD, like the recently aired Mea Maxima Culpa. Some faculty have individual cable access for personal viewing but most don't. The university pays for generic cable aired in the student union, lounges, etc. but don't think HBO is included. I cannot figure out how to acquire, or a faculty member to view, or show in class, one of these films. I called HBO customer service and never got beyond recordings.

[Videolib] films on undocumented workers
I have been asked to come up with a list of films on the lives of undocumented workers. The films need to focus on workers and their labor issues, as opposed to films on other parts of the undocumented experience (i.e. wonderful films like "Inocente").

We already have: Domestic Violence (2 part title from Zipporah)Breaking the Cycle of Domestic ViolenceThe Healing YearsBattered HeartsBattered Women (films for humanities)Behind Closed DoorsDefending Our LivesA Love that KillsTerror at Home These will be viewed in class as part of a seminar on the topic.

Re: [Videolib] question about public performance rights
I would never make copies of the VHS tapes. I was trying to buy DVD's of old VHS tapes. I was trying to BUY dvd's for convenience sake for those patrons that prefer that format and in each case was willing to pay for public performance rights. In cases where that was not a possibility, I decided that we would hang on to the VHS tape and keep using it. I just wanted to make sure that in the cases where we keep the VHS tape that we can still use the VHS tape for public performance rights, like campus film festivals. Many of the titles I found out cannot be purchased in DVD or VHS format any longer. They are simply not available in any format. But, we get requests for them so we use the VHS. I am sorry I was not clear. I only wanted to know if we could keep using the VHS for public performance.

Re: [Videolib] UCLA case
Since I have not read all the legal pleadings, it would be helpful if someone from UCLA could post a response to this list explaining exactly what they did do (and I am new to the list so I apologize if this was done before). It would be helpful to hear from someone at UCLA describe what they streamed and how they did it (did they use a proxy server so all students on campus have access and from home or just for specific courses through course management software? Did they stream titles in which they had paid for public performance rights or feature films? How many films did they stream?).

[Videolib] DVD cases
Many of our DVD cases are in sad shape. They are cracked, will not open or close properly and in many cases the hub no longer works and so the DVD is loose in the case. I am willing to spend money on top quality cases that will actually last. These ones from Gaylord looked better than average but I thought I would poll this list and see if there is a gold standard for cases other than the cheap ones most distributors use.

Re: [Videolib] another film outfit wanting to sell performance rights
Perhaps slightly off topic but how to you all handle situations like this when a faculty member buys a personal copy (perhaps for home use, perhaps also to show in class using their personal copy) and then later donates that copy to the library.

Re: [Videolib] Licensing issue - First Notice
I had a similar email about a year ago from a filmmaker from New Zealand. I can no longer recall the filmmaker or the DVD. She did not "insist" that we pay the educational price but she emailed to say that she saw the title in our online catalog and she was at least curious where we purchased it and how much we paid for it.

I wish there were a way to educate filmmakers and film distributors about not only the legalities, but also the realities, of pricing for the library market. It's simple accounting: libraries can make more films accessible to their patrons if the cost of the videos is low. If the cost is high, our budgets will accommodate far fewer purchases. So if a video is expensive, it better be a stand out. It's also a matter of what the market will bear. If libraries continue to pay $250 for a dvd instead of $29, why wouldn't sellers ask us for the higher price? And, yes, I've heard the song about filmmakers and distributors having to make a living, but don't we all? Libraries shouldn't be responsible for subsidizing vendors; making resources available to our patrons is what we're about.

[Videolib] Aghet
I am wondering if anyone on the list has any ideas about how to acquire this film, preferably as a DVD. There are YouTube clips of the entire film but I don't know if they are legitimate. The films web site does not have much information. PBS told me they wanted to get the rights to broadcast it and hopefully sell the DVD. The film is German. amazon.de has it but I doubt it has the english subtitles of the youtube clips. http://www.amazon.de/Aghet-Ein-V%C3%B6lkermord-Michael-Klaukien/dp/B004OY596S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303418727&sr=8-1 It has been broadcast before Congress with English subtitles.

[Videolib] iTunes question
I apologize if this question has been asked before; I am new to this list. We have a professor that wants her students to watch a video. Its possible that she will show it in class, but its also possible she will ask each of them to watch it outside of class. The title is: Robert Blecker Wants Me Dead. She asked the library to purchase a DVD or maybe a few copies. I have tried and its not available in this format (not from Amazon, the film home page, robertbleckerwantsmedead.com, not from the distributor, Atlas Media). I contacted the distributor and they said they had no intention of putting the film on DVD but only marketing it through iTunes. It is available on iTunes for $7.99. I am curious how other libraries have handled situations where the only source of a film is iTunes. If she decided to show it to the class, I don't see it as a major problem because I think fair use would allow it to be shown in class and we would buy one copy for her iTunes account and she could show it from her laptop in class (and they are not marketing it with public performance rights anyway). But what about students who miss class? Or if she decides to have each student view it outside of class. You cannot share files on iTunes with other users. Its not like a link that can be sent among the student body. And, what if other students or professors want to watch it but have the library pay? It really is a compelling film if you are interested in the death penalty. I am told there are programs that will allow you take stuff on iTunes and convert it to DVD but its probably of questionable legality and also time consuming for my staff. I am disappointed in Atlas Media for not marketing this as a DVD. Any advice appreciate, Matthew Matthew Wright Head of Collection Development and Instructional Services William S.
