Re: [Videolib] Library Journal publishes article on VHS duplication for preservation

[Dennis Doros]

Thanks, deg! I agree with everything there!

Ha! Surprised you all. :-)

The only points I would make:

1) The story to find Chester Novell Turner is meant to illustrate the "not
reasonable effort" to find a copyright holder. This story is not about a
librarian and really champions the efforts of distributors willing to go to
on lengthy and often frustrating expeditions to retain rights and release
films to the public. (And it's very common by the way -- I just got rights
to a film that I first tried to get in 1989.) But since it *is* mentioned,
I would point out the caveat that a librarian/archivist *should* go to
these lengths if the film or video is historically important to the
collection and not available elsewhere. Creating a digital copy from the
VHS is the legal right, but there's probably 1% of every collection that
deserves more. Everybody's best friend Elena Rossi-Snook is doing this at
the NYPL with film and video and there are many others doing
librarians/archivists doing the same thing around the country. It would be
a great Library Journal article in fact!

2) I would add IMDBpro as part of a reasonable search -- and a
cost-effective one. There are a number of directors and copyright holders
who would provide a newer, better DVD at a reasonable cost. I even know
several people and places that provide DVDs free upon request.
