Re: [Videolib] Surveys for Users of Library Video Collections?

2016-08-01 Thread scott spicer
Hi Meghan,

I concur with deg that we need more data on specific user experiences with
library based commercial video collections. IMHO Jane Otto's 2014 C&RL
article on the topic is a decent reference point (includes survey and
qualitative focus group methodologies):

Otto, J. J. (2014). University Faculty Describe Their Use of Moving Images
in Teaching and Learning and Their Perceptions of the Library’s Role in
That Use. *College & Research Libraries*, *75*(2), 115-144.

Similarly, in Spring '15 to capture some case studies as part of a
streaming task group initiative, I sent out a survey to known instructor
users of our licensed streaming video content asking about specific
pedagogical use cases, content value, streaming affordances, and technical
experience with these materials.  I am not certain if it would be helpful
for your question, but feel free to take a look at a public copy I made of
this survey: http://z.umn.edu/publicvideousesurvey.  Further, I would be
happy to share some of the general results if anyone is interested.

Best,
Scott

Re: [Videolib] Streaming media in collection development policy (Laura Jenemann)

2016-02-01 Thread scott spicer
Hi Laura,

We had A/V integrated into various subject collection development policies,
but nothing that expressly called out streaming.  Therefore, I developed
this Recommended Title Level Licensed Streaming Selection Criteria
guidelines (
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wFEfq4AQf0vOq0QMteJ-MllmuxMQEiGC4SY_mQXQR_4/edit?usp=sharing)
with colleagues.  Note: this guide has been vetted internally with various
UMN Libraries staff and groups, though I would not consider it necessarily
as an official streaming collection development policy, but more as a
guidance document.

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] License templates for physical media purchases..

Hi Everyone,

In response to the increase in some unusual, highly restrictive DVD
purchase usage terms, we are developing some internal guidelines for
agreeing, denying, or negotiating terms.  Does anyone have such documented
physical media purchase guidelines (e.g., as a stand alone document or part
of a CDP)?  If so, please feel free to share here or contact me directly.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

I concur, an update to the Summit "5 years on" would be a great idea.
Unfortunately, there are many like myself who are unable to attend.  If we
do have this forum, my guidance would be to seek some kind of mechanism for
remote live participation if at all possible (e.g., Hangout, Skype, WebEx,
etc..) for at least part of the discussion.

Re: [Videolib] lab protocol videos

2015-08-13 Thread scott spicer
Laura, I guess that depends on what you mean by "anything similar to JoVE?"


   - If you are talking about a STEM journal that includes virtually 100%
   video abstracts on each article, than I am not aware one (to approximate,
   see video abstract article below for potential publishing venues that offer
   similar content in discipline specific journals)


   - At the risk of a shameless plug, if you are talking about STEM
   journals that offer the option and frequently include video abstracts with
   their articles, there are several of them highlighted in my article last
   year on the topic and related data set.  You could also find many of these
   video abstracts curated on the WeShareScience website (
   https://wesharescience.com/)

   Spicer, S. (2014). Exploring Video Abstracts in Science Journals: An
   Overview and Case Study. *Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly
   Communication* 2(2):eP1110. http://dx.doi.org/10.7710/2162-3309.1110


   - If you are talking about journals that have articles that sometimes
   include video content of lab experiments, some of those experiments are
   occasionally included in certain video abstracts or separately as
   supplemental content files; found using a database such as ScienceDirect
   (use image search engine, further limit to video post results)


   - If you are talking about online scholarly science research videos in
   general you could check out resources such as the TIB|AV portal (
   https://av.getinfo.de/?20), the aforementioned WeShareScience or even
   sites such as ScienceCinema (DOE) http://www.osti.gov/sciencecinema/ if
   you have a specific discipline in mind.

   Hope this helps.

   Best,

   Scott

[Videolib] International VCRs in your media centers?

2015-05-26 Thread scott spicer
Collective Wisdom,

The international VCR in our media center is on the fritz, and we are
having a heck of a time finding a replacement. We have a fairly limited
collection of international VHS tapes in our primary media collection (42),
and according to our usage stats only 2 of the titles have been checked our
a whopping 3 times over the past 2 years.  I realize this is imprecise as
what limited use there is of these titles may be viewed in the space
itself.  Further, I have the sense that some of the again limited demand
may come from our users own international collections as well.  So how many
of you are currently providing international VHS playback capability in
your spaces, and do you see this as a critical service for an academic
media center in 2015?

Until I have the sense that more of our community deems VHS to be
officially obsolete, I am kinda on the side that this is something we
should offer, but this particular issue is not one that keeps me up at
night, to be honest.

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] A Couple of Google Custom Search Engines for Licensed/Open Streaming Video Shared on ALA VRT Connect...

2015-03-27 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

Pardon the cross post:

Just a little Friday gift for y'all...  I've been dabbling with Google
Custom Search Engine (CSE) and decided to create 2 streaming video CSE's,
heavily inspired by the Digital Video Collections Guide
<http://connect.ala.org/node/183711>. One searches several well known
educational media licensed vendor hosted and popular sites.  The other
searches most of the freely available websites listed on the guide.  These
tools are a bit crude, and are the product of a quick and dirty test
prototype from me playing around a bit, so no guarantees. That said, I have
already found them very useful for my work in tracking down content and
perhaps you will too.  Let me know what you think!

I have posted more specifics on a new VRT ALA Connect page:
http://connect.ala.org/node/237479

You can also access them directly here:


*Many Licensed and Popular Educational Media Streaming Sites*

*Open Streaming Video Resources*

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] Experiences with OnArchitecture?

2014-11-10 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

We are considering the OnArchitecture.com and I was wondering if any of you
can speak to your experiences with the product?  I defer the quality of
content selection to our Architecture Librarian, but I would be interested
hearing thoughts related to the unique licensing terms, apparent [lack of]
catalog discovery support, apparent barriers to embed within CMS, your user
experiences with the video, and general product perspectives.  Please feel
free to contact me offline, unless you feel your feedback is best shared
with the community.

Best,
Scott

Re: [Videolib] Future of educational media distribution - institutional obsolescence

2014-10-01 Thread scott spicer
Jane,

Thank you, I missed your reply before I posed my question to deg regarding
your study.  If you are considering adding this question, I think it would
be useful for us to touch base.  Just out of curiosity, did you target
classroom management professionals in your survey?  If so, do they
represent multiple levels of higher education and Carnegie classifications?


We believe the institutional obsolescence issue is so important, that it
may require a dedicated study targeted toward the classroom management
audience with care taken to cover multiple levels (e.g., all ARL, NITLE,
AACC institutions).  This is something Andrew and I are interested in
researching, so we would be happy to contribute if you think your survey
could meet this goal.  Otherwise, we may conduct a separate one.

I think these responses could dovetail nicely with your past survey in that
we would also need to get the librarians point of view on what impact
(pressure) lack of classroom playback has or may have on their
perceptions/strategies for scaling digital delivery.

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] Future of educational media distribution - institutional obsolescence

2014-10-01 Thread scott spicer
Andrew,

Yes, I agree we should be surveying classroom management professionals to
get our fingers on the pulse of future institutional physical media
classroom support.  Of all the research topics we have discussed, this one
may be the most pressing!  I will follow up with you offline to discuss
further, pending deg's response.


deg: in your study with Jane did you survey classroom management folks on
their plans for future classroom physical media playback support?  If not,
are you (or is anyone else here) aware of a relatively recent study that
has?  I will also research the higher ed. a/v support/educational
technologist literature to see if this issue has been tackled elsewhere.

Thanks,
Scott

PS:  If the classroom player issue isn't enough, heightened federal
regulations for disabled access to online educational materials (equal
access to digitally delivered format) is probably not too far behind.  See
yesterday's piece in the Chronicle (
http://chronicle.com/blogs/wiredcampus/for-bill-on-disabled-access-to-online-teaching-materials-the-devils-in-the-details/54651)

[Videolib] Digital Video Collections Guide Updated!

2014-09-15 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

Pardon the cross post.  Thanks to you all for continuing to make the
Digital Video Collections Guide (http://connect.ala.org/node/183711) an
invaluable resource to the community!  Feel free to forward this message on
to your moving image colleagues that might be interested.

Though the Guide is continuing to go strong after 2 years, like any living
document, it was in a need of a little TLC.  Therefore, this morning I
undertook an audit to determine if there were any issues with the resources
(e.g., links no longer functioning/rerouting to another site, content no
longer available, etc..). I also added a few more of the streaming
resources the UMN Libraries have recently licensed.

Most of these resources are still working great, though I discovered 3
sites that have new URL's (American Indian Film Gallery, Berkeley Online
Media, and USDA Food Safety Videos); 2 sites that are no longer offering
content and were therefore removed from the guide (Babelgum.com went out of
business, LookNews no longer appears to offer access to their video
archive); and 2 resources that have issues and are on watch, but have been
retained (Museum of Broadcast Communications Archive moved to a new URL,
but there is a message that the site is undergoing construction, and the
biomaterialsvideos.org page is not rendering).

For a complete listing of all changes, please consult this Google
spreadsheet: http://z.umn.edu/updatedvideoguide.

For questions/comments, please do not hesitate to contact me directly (
spic0...@umn.edu) or in public forums.  Also feel free to share with me how
this resource has been useful in your practice. This feedback is useful for
determining whether to continue this support, and potential future
enhancements we might want to make to strengthen this resource.

Best,
Scott Spicer

Hi Everyone,

Did anyone (outside of the presenters of course) attend the "NFAIS Virtual
Seminar: The Emergence and Rise of Video as a Scholarly Content Format"
yesterday?  If so, can you please contact me offline, we are considering
whether to pursue access to the content (if this is an option).

Re: [Videolib] library instruction (Brannen, Michelle)

2014-02-21 Thread scott spicer
Though the Media Services unit that I head has both media production and
resources support services in its portfolio, the bulk of my instruction is
similarly customized course media production support.  As Michelle
suggested this can vary according to the assignment and instructor learning
objectives, but typically includes an overview of available campus support
options; production process overview; media project asset management and
backup; suggested equipment, software, and quality composition specific to
the genre of media project (e.g., PSA, digital story, adaptation, vodcast,
etc..);  media resources collections (for mixed media projects);
copyright/fair use; and media attribution.  If the instructor requests it,
we will provide a hands-on workshop for a specific piece of software or
equipment.  I stay away from non-course related, decontextualized software
and equipment instruction.

This is all part of a richer outreach program that might also include for
example, an upfront consultation on the assignment development,
coordination of resources and on-demand production support in the SMART
Learning Commons space that I also provide guidance to, then later class
visit for project screenings, and project debrief to discuss what the
students learned, where we can tweak support next time, and how we can
improve our services where relevant. I have formally supported roughly 150
media projects (~100 unique instructors) over the past five years and I
typically work with about 20 different courses per a semester these days.

The other type of instruction I provide is partnering with our campus IT
department to teach 1-2 workshops a year on approaches and benefits of
integrating media resources and student projects into curriculum (e.g.,
media literacy concepts, learning objectives).  This is an important tool
in convincing instructors to consider evolving their instruction with media
in the first place.

As our digital media collections program is developing, I would be
interested to hear more about the different types of instruction related to
media collections (e.g., general instructor education on library/open media
content, course specific media collections, and pedagogical affordances of
using digital media, such as a flipped model of assigning students BBC
Shakespeare videos to view outside class so they can practice for in class
performances).

Best,
Scott

Re: [Videolib] More proof that media is the redheaded step child

2013-07-16 Thread scott spicer
deg,

I agree with your assertion to a large extent. That said, point of fact,
the report does provide some nods to trends in media intersection with
academic libraries. There are several members of our community, such as
myself, who are additionally engaged in services related to these trends.


Variety of formats (sometimes code for media): (p. 2, "Librarians will be
challenged to provide services in a variety of formats, for a variety of
students who are attending their institution (and others).")

Multimodal Scholarship: (p. 10, "publications that support embedded media
formats"; p. 15, "encourage and use digital media formats for broad
dissemination of information.")

Media Production: (p. 23, "Universities and libraries that do not embrace
the potential for multimedia production, project management, and university
services (Johnson, Adams, and Cummins 2012) could quickly fall behind the
curve.")



Still, agreed, it is a bit stunning that educational media collections and
concomitant issues are completely absent, particularly at a time when
eLearning seems to be all the rage.  A/V preservation of local collections
appears to be overlooked as well, even when the authors had a prime
opportunity to explicitly include it (p. 15, "Methods for providing
discovery, access, delivery, and preservation of nontext scholarship (cell
lines, data sets, etc.) will continue to change the landscape of scholarly
communication.").  We have to keep pushing the rock, while rolling with the
times!

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] Suggestions for anti-bullying media (in addition to Bully)?

2013-05-14 Thread scott spicer
Collective Wisdom,

One of our Social Work faculty members is updating a resource guide
directed towards parents on the topic of school bullying and has requested
some materials that are not sensationalist or full of scare tactics.  I
have not seen Bully, but it appears to have received tons of press coming
from Weinstein, with the film's initial R rating and associated in-school
anti-bullying movement.  The reviews I read have been mixed, with the
greatest criticism being that the documentary is overly emotional and fails
to consider the complex dynamics of school bullying, as well as backgound
of the students featured.  More than one critic appreciated the attempt,
however, calling for additional documentary films to be made that provide
greater balance to the issue.

Does anyone know of other quality films that perhaps I might recommend?
Again, the audience for this resource guide is parents, so some of the
educational media you may recommend may not be accessible.  Still, I will
forward relevant suggestions to the faculty member.  Sadly enough, it
appears this issue may be too new to our public consciousness for the
material to develop.

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] VRT Membership Media Interests and Engagement Survey Results (Fall 2012) Report Published

2013-01-23 Thread scott spicer
Pardon the cross post:

Hi Everyone,

This fall the VRT sent out a survey to better gauge current membership
media related library roles, interests, and preferred strategies for VRT
outreach and engagement.  An additional goal was to capture topic interests
for a potential, much subsidized, VRT sponsored pre-conference at ALA
Annual 2014.  A report of the survey results has now been
posted<http://connect.ala.org/node/198600>on the VRT section of the
ALA Connect blog.  We had a decent number of
responses (57!), and the feedback provided insight that will no doubt be
useful.  Capturing this information is just the first step, with further
discussion to follow in order to determine possibilities for future
directions.

A discussion around the results of this report will take place at the ALA
Midwinter 2013 Video Round Table Membership and Executive Board Meeting
(OPEN to all) (Monday, January 28, 2013 - 8:30 - 11:30am - Jefferson
Room (Sheraton
Seattle Hotel <http://alamw13.ala.org/node/8610>)).  If you will be at
Midwinter, please feel free to stop by and contribute to the discussion.
If you want to offer feedback either on the blog or to me directly feel
free to do so.  Also, the online survey form <http://bit.ly/VWkRm7> is
still open.



Best,
Scott Spicer

PS: I am looking forward to seeing those of you attending Midwinter this
weekend!  If you have not already reserved your dinner reservation this
Friday evening, please contact (antho...@usc.edu). Opened to all (VRT
member or not)!

Re: [Videolib] Human anatomy animation (Nellie J Chenault)

2012-12-11 Thread Scott Spicer
Hi Nell,

In addition to the Miracle of the Human Body title, you might want to also 
check out Acland's Video Atlas of Human Anatomy and a...@tomy.tv (links listed 
on our digital video guide 
https://www.lib.umn.edu/libdata/page.phtml?page_id=4139).  Our Bio-Med digital 
image guide (https://www.lib.umn.edu/libdata/page.phtml?page_id=3939#toc145131) 
also has a number of open and licensed digital image collections dealing with 
anatomy that likely include video as well. 


Note: These sites are mirrored on ALA Connect: Images - 
http://connect.ala.org/node/152079 and Video - 
http://connect.ala.org/node/183711, if you find a resource please let me know 
so I can add it to the list.

Best,

Hey Rachel, 

Congratulations!  If the content you are dealing with at IMF is digital video, 
do consider adding it to the digital video guide I posted on ALA Connect: 
http://connect.ala.org/node/183711.  I know that video pertaining to the global 
role of the IMF and World Bank on developing nations is integrated into at 
least one of our courses (not necessarily favorably, to be frank), but at least 
the instructor I knew was very careful to try to find content that provided a 
balanced perspective for discussion.  This content could supplement titles such 
as Life and Debt, amongst others, perhaps.

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] Digital Video Collections Guide Published on ALA Connect. Open for Community Contribution (ALA member or not).

2012-07-18 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

Pardon the cross post.  I have published a somewhat extensive Digital Video
Collections Guide (http://connect.ala.org/node/183711) on ALA Connect (VRT
Section), consisting of quality licensed and open digital video
collections.  This guide is a mirror of the one we use at Minnesota, and
was developed with great support from deg farrely (ASU), John Vallier
(UofWash) and content from the LibGuides Community.  This is published as
an Open Doc with the hopes that media interested individuals (ALA member or
not) across institutions and constituencies, will feel free to contribute
links/descriptions of excellent digital video collections and repurpose as
they see fit (suggested guidelines on page).  I plan to continue
maintenance checking for active links annually as practical.

Last summer, I published a similar Digital Image Collections Guide (
http://connect.ala.org/node/152079) on ALA Connect, and the response was
very strong (7,500 views).  I am told for image resources communities, that
guide has been a valuable resource, so I am hopeful this guide may be of
assistance for various video interested professionals as well.
Particularly, as a VRT outreach strategy for building depth of media
expertise in ALA, similar to the recent EBSS/VRT Annual program
collaboration.  Please feel free to share with your colleagues!  Finally,
please send me any feedback you have, this is by no means a comprehensive
guide or finished product.

Best,
Scott

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder that we are still seeking vendor sponsorship for the ALA
Annual 2012 VRT GALA in Anaheim.  Sponsorship can come in the form of a
financial contribution or donation of DVD titles for raffle prizes.


*About the Gala at ALA Annual 2012 (Sunday, June 24 6:30-9:30)*
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, Trillium Room C

Drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be served along with a dynamic presentation
from Mark Quigley, Manager of the Research and Study Center at the UCLA
film and Television Archive and Stephen Davison, Head of the UCLA Digital
Library Program. Both these leaders collaborated to create the UCLA silent
animation preservation program. This program has produced a website which

Re: [Videolib] Good Night and Good Luck

2012-04-03 Thread scott spicer
Gary,

I think Newton's quote, "If I have seen further it is by standing on ye
sholders of Giants" fits this occasion best.  As a relative newcomer to the
profession, I owe you a great debt of gratitude for contributing
significantly to the development and sustainibility of our institutions
(VRT, NMM, VideoLib, MRC Site, to name a few) and at the professional
level, for helping to instill in me a respect for the craftsmanship of
media bibliography, and the criticality of media preservation, media
copyright, media advocacy, and "damnit, you gotta just get the instructor
what they need."  Finally, thank you most of all for helping me to
understand that the voices of oracles able to swiftly provide responses to
"I need exemplar titles with tracking shots of Paris, suggestions?" will
fall silent without advocacy for media.  Business models and copyright
debates considered, I am entirely optimistic that we are entering a rich
era where our users will increasingly engage with media in a number of
ways, some very different and most very exciting.  Hopefully, building off
some of the foundations you (and other modern founders) have helped lay we
can continue to lead in this transition through familiar and emerging roles.

Mazel Tov,

Scott

[Videolib] University Theatre instructional video collections support?

2012-03-07 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

I am now working with our Theater Librarian and a Theater faculty member to
improve discovery and collection development of instructional theater
videos, with an emphasis on performance (for now). In terms of discovery,
to supplement our general a/v guides, this will include the development of
a guide with catalog links to various facets of performance videos (to
increase discovery beyond the cataloging).  Gary's guide provides a nice
start on some classifications and a Theater grad. student staff/Theater
Librarian will provide even more granularity.  To assist in this process,
can anyone recommend an exemplar Theater video guide with more sub-classes
than the MRC?

Second, we would like to audit the collection in collaboration with the
Theatre Dept. to determine if our video collection is meeting their needs
and would like to provide suggestions to certain titles that we may not
already own.  Does anyone feel their theater instructional video collection
is particularly distinctive and/or would cite one that is in terms of
breadth and depth of performance videos (e.g., direction, technical how to,
stage performance, international performance, famous performances, acting
technique) from which to reconcile for consideration?

To be clear, I am not looking for suggestions on any specific titles or
streaming video packages at this point (please no vendor email), simply
trying to audit this part of our collection and related services as a
terrific engagement outreach opportunity.

Thanks much,
Scott

[Videolib] Looking for "Faces of Japan" PBS series..

2012-02-28 Thread scott spicer
Howdy folks,

I'm fairly positive it is out of print, but does anyone know where I might
be able to score copies of the 26 part (1987-1988) PBS series, "Faces of
Japan" narrated by Dick Cavett, produced by TeleJapan USA?  We have an
instructor who uses it frequently, but ILL and "26 part VHS series" is just
not a happy combination for a course offered regularly.  As a fall back,
can anyone recommend a documentary that might capture the stresses of
contemporary Japanese society (which I suspect was all the rage in the
roaring '80's), from a first person account?

Thanks!
Scott

[Videolib] Experience with Video Quality Evaluation?

2011-11-04 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

This seems like a question straight out of a media librarian's handbook,
but I am going to ask it anyways.  We are about to house a collection of
approx. 200 videos of Peruvian prison dissident government satire plays
from our Latin American Studies department. Due to the sensitive nature of
this ephemera material use will be restricted to on-site viewing. Given
that they are currently mostly in VHS format we are looking at outsourcing
conversion to DVD for longer term access, not necessarily of archival
quality (I would prefer to digitize for streaming, but it is not in the
cards right now).  I have been asked to examine some of the DVDs that have
already been encoded and compare with the VHS copy for quality to determine
if we should have the whole batch redone for consistency or if those
already converted are of high enough quality.

Is anyone familiar with a relatively straightforward technical test to make
this assessment, in the absence of color bars?  Is a more objective test
even necessary, or would a perceptual evaluation be sufficient?

Best,
Scott

Re: [Videolib] Media circulation term

2011-11-01 Thread scott spicer
3 day loans, with circulation student staff leeway to extend up to 14 days
provided there are no bookings in the Aleph Booking Module (auto-prevents
extension beyond X hours of advanced booking).  Beyond that, all patrons
need to request an extension or renewal through the Multimedia Consultant,
which is granted on a case-by-case basis pending demand.  On some titles
that are instructor specific, we have extended up to a month.

We have a limit of 2 renewals typically, but for more than 2 weeks we often
will suggest short term or semester long course reserves, with the
understanding that we may be requesting to mediate, with instructor
permission, a short term loan to another instructor for class screening or
patron viewing onsite in the case of reserves.

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] Experience with asiapacificfilms.com streaming service?

2011-10-07 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

Continuing the theme of streaming collection services, one of our librarians
recently received a trial offer for the Asia Pacific Films streaming
service, and I was wondering if anyone could speak to personal experience as
it related to the quality of this resource and if so, who the audience is
for it it at your school?  Our institutional context is that we have the
Ames Collection which is a special collection dedicated to south asian
materials, but we do not have a South Asian department and from my
understanding, limited course offerings specifically related to Asian
Studies.  That said, there may be subject content here that is applicable to
other disciplines, I am just not familiar with these titles.

Feel free to contact me offline or respond here.

Best,
Scott

Re: [Videolib] Strange Disappearance of Bees deal (Ball, James (jmb4aw))

2011-07-05 Thread scott spicer
Correction:
The pricing for The Vanishing Bee should not have the "PPR interpretation"
by it.  I had on for this title previously, Langworthy's site which is not
as clear on pricing and $300 at the institutional rate.

Jon,

I pitched this to our Entymology Librarian, and we are in for "The Strange
Disappearance of Bees".  So 98 more to go for the $200 price? ;)  I don't
want to play my hand but one of our Entymology faculty, Dr. Marla Spivak,
just won a MacArthur Genius grant and I'm told we have this new Bee Lab to
study this monumental problem, so we will likely need to purchase the 3 or 4
bee disappearance films.   Come on folks, just need 98 more...  Jon, we'll

[Videolib] Groupon suggestion..

2011-07-01 Thread scott spicer
Apologies for the spamming, but this got buried in the thread on post.  I am
interested to hear folks take on this, and it appears Jessica reached a
similar conclusion at the same time:

Just a thought experiment here...

I understand that smaller distributors do not want to devalue their
collections by cherry picking individual titles for substantially lowered
costs and am sensitive to Jessica's claim that lowering prices would not
necessarily make up for lost sales in terms of volume.   You gotta give us
video librarians a fighting chance.  Challenging times call for creative
solutions.  So I propose we crowd source this thing...in the spirit of
Elizabeth Stanley, we need a Groupon/Social Living service for
Indies/educational media.

Picture it: for one day (or week) only, The Strange Disappearance of Bees is
$200 or The Big Sellout is $100 (PPR negotiated separately if needed).
Let's say price predicated on collective volume sales of at least 50 units,
offer ends at 500 takers.  Only 5 titles can go up at any given point, and
only once a year.  Open to all filmmakers/distributors targeting the
academic market (with a small percentage of sales recouped for promotion and
maintenance).

Thoughts?

[Videolib] Seeking Sponsorship for the Video Round Table ALA Annual Gala, "A Tribute to Helen Hill"

2011-06-08 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,


We are seeking vendor sponsorship for the 2011 Video Round Table Gala at ALA
Annual, *A Tribute to Helen Hill*. Helen
Hill<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Hill>was a social activist and
artist of experimental animation who lived and
created in New Orleans. After the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Hill's
work expanded into the preservation realm as she promoted do-it-yourself
techniques for film archiving and restoration. Her films have received
awards and honors, including entry in the Library of Congress’ National Film
Registry. Join Video Round Table and friends of Helen Hill for an evening
celebrating her life and work. Proceeds from this event will be donated to
the Helen Hill Award for the Orphan Films Symposium. If interested in
sponsorship of this event, contact Tom Ipri: tom.i...@unlv.edu or Danette
Pachtner: danett...@duke.edu



Don’t let not being present hinder you from supporting VRT in New Orleans!

A few years ago during our move to open collection, we recataloged fully

[Videolib] Ophuls Liebelei on DVD?

2011-04-06 Thread scott spicer
Howdy folks,

A faculty member is looking for Max Ophuls' Liebelei on DVD (we have a VHS
version).  I thought I had tracked one down from Germany, but having
received it apparently this is a theatrical performance.  Does anyone know
if this title was ever released on DVD, maybe Kino?

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] Circulating locally captioned versions of film?

2011-01-13 Thread scott spicer
Howdy folks,

I have a fun one for the community to discuss, and I would like to get your
feedback.  As I mentioned before, our campus Disability Services (DS)
recently started a video captioning unit.  They always seek permissions from
the rights holder prior to captioning, apparently required by our Counsel.
Until now, from my understanding, the resulting copy in whatever medium has
always been given to the hearing impaired student.

However, for the upcoming semester, I have a faculty member who would like
for us to purchase 2 copies of a film series that is being sold directly
from the filmmaker, that has not and will not be captioned.  This faculty
member is requesting the titles be captioned by DS, in this case for
international students in her class to better understand complex foreign
relations concepts, not a hearing impaired student.  Further, the students
will be required to watch these titles outside of class this semester, so
the titles will likely be on library reserve, which would break new ground
for us from a policy perspective. Thus far, the Libraries have not been
involved in dealing with modified/captioned copies of original content.  We
are considering this because the instructor (and others) will be using the
videos every year in their classes, and this discipline has some hearing
impaired students as well as several non-native speakers.

Three questions:
1)  Does anyone currently circulate captioned/locally modified copies of
commercial content in their collection?  You can contact me offline, if you
think this is sensitive information.

2)  What does our filmmaker/producer/distributor community think about the
possibility of circulating captioned copies in our general collection?
Would your thoughts change if the rights holder gave permission to caption
because they could not and originals were made inaccessible so as not to
impact market forces?

I have considered having our Acquisitions Dept. request a captioning waiver
written into the purchase agreement, but I am ethically uncomfortable with
making captioning a contract condition.  I believe captioning should be
protected as an anti-circumvention exemption and covered under fair use (if
not ADA), points I may submit for consideration during the next round of
Hearings.

Best,
Scott

Re: [Videolib] [Videonews] Here we go again...

2011-01-03 Thread scott spicer
Christine,

I was asking myself the exact same thing so I did a little digging.  Though
I am certainly no lawyer (take this with several grains of salt) there
appears to be some strong, potentially related case law where online
published terms of service have been enforced (however, not necessarily in a
First Sale Doctrine context) (see:
http://www.brookspierce.com/news-publications-42.html).  These laws appear
to vary somewhat by state, and state and federal courts have occasionally
ruled against the seller, so you are right to ask Chris. The legal wording,
notice, and mechanism for agreeing to terms appears to have been a
consideration in these decisions.

Accordingly, I agree with consensus that demands for higher payment
post-purchase may not be legally enforceable when a home viewing copy is
purchased from a major online retailer like Amazon (depending on stated
notice at the point of purchase).  When it comes to some of the smaller
distributor sites, as noted, legal enforceability gets fairly nuanced, but
may lean towards seller enforceability.

Re: [Videolib] Seeking recent media journal citations..

2010-12-01 Thread scott spicer
Thank you everyone for the citations, keep them coming!  As Gary noted, I
have received a couple emails citing the Library Trends articles.  In fact,
it was this issue that inspired my suggestion to include a media
bibliography in the newsletter.  I'm trying to shake the tree a bit to see
if there are other media related articles or published presentations in the
past 9 months or so, such as Carleton's CCUMC reminder.  If there are still
other recent articles or perhaps, relevant (and electronically accessible)
quality presentations, please drop me an e-mail.

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] Seeking recent media journal citations..

2010-11-30 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

The Video Round Table is considering the republishing of a newsletter for
the membership, and for one of the sections we would like to gather
citations from our media colleagues for recent publications and/or published
presentations (~past 9 months) related to media services domains (e.g.,
video resources, media production support, video preservation, media library
spaces, video cataloging, video copyright - fair use/licensing, media
related literacies, etc..).  Please send your citation(s) to me if you would
like to share (spic0...@umn.edu).

Best,
Scott Spicer

[Videolib] Have you seen De Soto?

2010-09-29 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

We have a faculty member looking for the title, "Death March to De Soto" as
our copy is just about dead, at least audibly.  The catalog record says it
was released in 1998 - though I believe this is likely in fact the same
program originally broadcasted on The Learning Channel in 1993.  Assuming
they are the same, the producer was Arkios Productions and the title appears
to have only been released on VHS and distributed by Films, but no longer
available in their catalog per Films website and phone customer service
(Doug, can you confirm?).

Does anyone know where we might be able to secure a copy?  The faculty
member mentioned this title is vital to her class (and according to our
circ. history, several others!) and has resulted in spurring good quality
discussion - always a good thing!

Thanks,
Scott

[Videolib] Appeal to producers and distributers on captioning..

2010-08-12 Thread Scott Spicer
Dear producer - distributer friends,

I generally find rants to be counterproductive and I am still earning  
a soap box to stand on, but there is a practice that I need to call  
out as particularly odious.  This past year, the Disability Services  
Department on my campus has started a unit that will occasionally  
caption videos for hearing impaired students, when a captioned copy  
does not exist on the market.  They are very careful with fair use  
interpretation, and for better or worse at least with respect to  
accessibility (I'm not a legal expert on ADA, though this purpose does  
not appear to be exempted under DMCA), they always seek permission  
from the rights holder before transcoding and captioning the  
material.  In addition, it is my understanding that they receive  
legally acquired video (usually DVD) from multiple sources, including  
faculty, departments, and the library for class screening use.

 From my discussion with a Disability Services representative, on at  
least four separate occasions since they started this year, upon  
request, the rights holder came back and required they demonstrate  
that the material was purchased at the academic rate before they would  
give permission for this unit to caption the film.  I  will  
acknowledge that I do not have the specific details for each of these  
cases, as this is another unit of the university (though I have been  
involved at the tail end twice - read on).  I wasn't on debate team,  
so I'll go one further and even concede that maybe there were some  
mitigating factors that I am unaware of.  I also understand that  
producers/distributers may have contractual obligations regarding  
release of reproduction rights, and/or policies in place to insure a  
copy was indeed, legally acquired before granting them.  I get it,  
really I do.

That said, I would like to place a broad logic appeal to producers/ 
distributers for a moment to please take off your skeptical hat when a  
campus Disability Services unit requests permission to caption a  
film.  This is a time intensive process, and certainly not a gateway  
to wholesale infringement (would they contact you or even me if they  
were so inclined?).  Furthermore, universal access is not a privilege,  
it is a right.  These students should not be held hostage because a  
unit on campus designed to help people, [that in this case] does not  
even acquire media, is unable to demonstrate academic purchase only to  
then have to wait while other campus units scramble to determine who  
is responsible for what, and who is going to fund additional  
(otherwise unnecessary) permissions.  I've participated in this  
senseless exercise once already 2 months ago, and now need to once  
again.

Finally, it should go without saying that all new productions, whether  
it be VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray, View-Master stereoscope, or streaming needs  
to be captioned.  My library has yet to adopt this rule as formal  
collection development criteria, and as I have limited oversight over  
single title purchases it may not be.  However, I can assure you going  
forward, that any vendors looking to sell us streaming video packages  
will be at a severe disadvantage if this option is not included with  
every title, unless the content is absolutely necessary.

Rant over, soap box returned, thank you for your time.

Scott Spicer

Re: [Videolib] Academic libraries with dedicated privileged media search boxes?

2010-07-09 Thread Scott Spicer
Thanks Tom,

That's exactly the type of example I am seeking!  If you would be so  
kind, I understand that you were unable to get cross-search  
functionality of databases, but is there a reason why you chose not to  
list your music/video service info. and perhaps links to select video  
and music collections? While being sensitive to information overload  
(say filling the entire tab), this kind of information would seem to  
be helpful to the user for serendipitous discovery.

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] Academic libraries with dedicated privileged media search boxes?

2010-07-09 Thread Scott Spicer
Collective brains,

Our library is undergoing a website redesign using Drupal CMS, and  
fortunately, the web design team has decided to privilege media search/ 
discovery (images, audio, video) on a tab right along side books and  
journals/articles.  I have been charged with leading on consulting the  
design of this tab.  Within the media tab, I am planning to have 3 sub  
tabs for video, images, and audio, each a little different reflected  
by the ways in which the respective media is discovered by their  
users.  I am also proposing to add some additional functionality for  
federated search based on what we can technically offer (somewhat  
limited).

 From a video perspective, this also provides us an opportunity to not  
only offer traditional catalog video search, but perhaps promote/ 
search intergrate some licensed streaming content (mostly in the  
catalog already), our Media Services, and a for now, a link to curated  
open video collections.  For an example of what I am describing please  
see USC's "Images" tab using Webfeat: http://www.usc.edu/libraries/

Please share some innovative media search interfaces at yours or other  
institutions.  So far, the only institutions I have found that have  
explicitly dedicated media search on the main page at the same level  
as books/journals are UofTexas (CD/DVD), UofWashington (Audio and  
Video - no Image), USC (Image only), Uof Illinois (Media), Kansas  
(Images search off to the left side).

Thanks much,
-Scott

Re: [Videolib] JFJ disk cleaner

2010-06-09 Thread Scott Spicer
John,

We have been using the single arm JFJ Easy Pro for a couple years, and  
I am a fan.  This "dry" cleaner/resurfacer is fairly user-friendly for  
polishing and minor scratches, but I have found repairing deeper  
scratches to be a time consuming art form.  At up to $300 a  
replacement pop though I think definitely a good investment.  The 4  
different sander/cleaner discs do wear out over time, but we have  
ordered backup discs and blue/white cleaner.

Best,
Scott

Ditto here,

We have a circ. notes field that lists each additional item and alerts  
our circ. staff to count verify all materials upon check in/out.  In  
the case of larger study guides (particularly with respect to video)  
we will sometimes barcode them separately and interfile next to the

Re: [Videolib] Pricing of DVD's

2010-05-13 Thread Scott Spicer
Likewise, welcome to the videolib Curtis,

For you and others,

I think we all agree that both indie/educational filmmakers and media  
librarians are facing difficult challenges due to shrinking budgets.   
As you suggest, we both believe in the power of film to educate and  
engage people.

I have not seen this discussed often (at least since I have been here  
the past couple years), but in the age of streaming media with  
indefinite permanence (though varying quality), a business model  
predicated in part on replacement of damaged physical objects, is not  
likely to elicit a lot of sympathy.  From my [brief] experience, I  
have observed that frequency of use is not always directly correlated  
to the rate of damage (we have had copies used as little as a few  
times before they came back damaged).  At my institution and I suspect  
others, it is challenging to ascertain who was responsible for said  
damage, and if the last user was faculty especially, to recover  
replacement fees.  It is also important to understand that for media  
use in a curricular context, even the slightest scratch that makes a  
video skip at a certain point or impacts audio, can be a rationale for  
seeking replacement.   We have a machine and try to repair the DVD,  
but if the material is once again reported damaged it gets withdrawn.

I know that some vendors offer lower replacement fees.  Unfortunately,  
due to the nature of large academic libraries, for those with a  
central purchaser, it can be more cost and policy intensive to  
coordinate replacement objects then to pay the full cost.  As Gary  
mentions in this month's Library Trends series, streaming is an  
attractive option in part due to the replacement budget issue, but of  
course new business models need to emerge.

Best,
Scott

Re: [Videolib] Media and equipment scheduling systems

2010-03-31 Thread Scott Spicer
Hi Lori,

Not certain if our setup is relevant to your context or useful for  
budgetary purposes as it is relatively free, but here it goes:

For advanced media booking we use a combination of the webform  
mentioned below, email process below, and the ILS (Aleph) booking  
module.

Here is the webform for media: http://www.lib.umn.edu/media/advance.phtml

For advanced equipment booking, over the past year, we have been using  
a combination of a webform (php script that emails myself, our  
Learning Commons operations manager, and our student staff at the  
front desks who enter the data - send confirmation) and a Google  
Calendar system where we have created a calendar for each resource.   
Patrons fill out the webform and we then capture that data and request  
date as an event.  Each piece of equipment has a barcode, and it is  
circulated through our ILS like any other.  This system has worked  
very well for us.  I would be happy to share more details offline to  
anyone interested.

Here is our webform for equipment: 
http://smart.umn.edu/equipmentreservationform.html

BTW:  We don't use the ILS booking module for equipment, because media  
booking is generally restricted to faculty/instructors, the booking  
module is setup to generate a pull report 3 days in advance as we are  
an open-stacks collection, and the equipment loans have quick turnover  
so a head/tail time would be detrimental.

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] Documentary on Southhall London or possibly Punjabi/Indian/Pakistani media representation?

2010-01-25 Thread Scott Spicer
Howdy folks,

I received a request from a Cultural Anthropology professor looking  
first and foremost for an ethnographic documentary on the Indian/ 
Pakistani populations in Southhall London.  If such a documentary does  
not exist, she has requested a film on the representation of Punjabi/ 
Indian/Pakistani people's in US/UK media (specifically, a non-fiction  
piece; so critical media discourse).  Ideas?

Best,
Scott

Re: [Videolib] YouTube to offer [and target] Indie/educational filmrental..Thoughts?

2010-01-21 Thread Scott Spicer
Really Gary?  Focusing on the technology?  I agree it matters a lot -  
if you assume that is the same quality experience paying folk will  
receive - but let's not focus on the ants and miss the elephant in the  
room.

To address the technology issue, however:  I don't have a great deal  
of experience with retail streaming services, but I know YouTube  
offers H.264 on some of their stuff (and I would certainly assume if  
YouTube is looking at this seriously to make money, they will strive  
to offer at least SD if not HD 720 @ full-size on rentals with an eye  
on improving quality).

Honestly, I don't have a strong feeling either way, but the topic was  
thrown out there to get perspectives on: impact and development of new  
business models; consumer attitude - ubiquity of YouTube use in the  
classroom (ignoring it doesn't make it so); and the cachet from  
particularly, an indie film producers' perspective, of distributing  
content through highly-respected distributers.

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] YouTube to offer [and target] Indie/educational film rental..Thoughts?

2010-01-21 Thread Scott Spicer
Just a little provocation for my friends in videolib land:

Came across this announcement 
http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/01/youtube-movie-rentals-today-sundance-tomorrow-the-world/
 
   and I am curious to get some different perspectives (I can guess  
some already)?  I know that Amazon/Netflix/iTunes offers [mostly  
feature film] streaming for individual use, but if YouTube expands to  
truly target indies/educational media folks is this somehow a game  
changer?  Will any self-respecting producers actually sign up?

Best,
Scott
