I had a sample several years back that I put on a DVD and never had a problem with the DVD coming back unplayable but just never looked into it further. Jeanette Francini Lucy Robbins Welles Library 95 Cedar Street Newington, CT 06111 860-665-8714 jmerc...@newingtonct.gov -Original Messag

[Videolib] Another question about PPR from a newbie...

2010-01-22 Thread Carolyn Jardine (Cary)
Hi all... And this is more of a request for reassurance than a question! We're a small academic library which primarily purchases DVDs that will be used either for personal viewing by students or by faculty in classes...we have so far not gotten into any PPR purchasing. But we've now had a reque

Basically you have it right. Feature films are very different from the non-fiction educational films which are often sold with the PPR rights. Studio product is never sold with PPR rights. You need to get a license from Swank, Criterion or whichever company has those rights from the studio. Often

Yes, you do have it right, then you have to decide if it's the *library's* responsibility to use its materials budget for PPR when you could buy the thing on amazon in a couple of weeks for $24.99 or whatever. I know that in this situation, I would let the department know that they were respons

Thanks, Sarah. That's my thinking too! I haven't received a quote from Criterion yet but I'm guessing it's going to be more than we'd be able to pay. I think the department should be responsible for this too, especially if we don't want to set the wrong precedent. Cary videolib@lists.berkeley.

[Videolib] strange license agreement

2010-01-22 Thread Andrews, Sarah E
Videos seem to be about the only thing that a library orders that come with license agreements-and it is implied that you return the item if you don't agree to the terms. Many times these terms are on the INVOICE, which is only seen by acquisitions/finance folks. I would recommend checking your

You should make the department pay for it-you are right about the precedent, and they might have some conference money anyway. What I always told folks was "the library will purchase MATERIALS/ACCESS" and if it includes screening rights as part of a purchase price-great. If there are additiona

I am seeing 'click through' licenses that come with material accompanying monographs, such as DVDs and websites. Almost all electronic resources, including databases, e-books, and e-journals also have license agreements. It's a good idea if a license isn't immediately evident, the invoice be chec
