Actually I think it is more a case of contract law than any copyright/
"first sale" issue. In order to get the DVD or stream from Netflix, the
library ( or someone on their behalf) agreed to a set of terms that may
indeed be MORE restrictive than regular copyright rules. First Sale

We have the Theatre and Dance collections purchased and they are used quite a
bit. We lease American History in Video and it's also very popular. It's a bit
dependent on, I would guess, the depth of your hard copy collection.

Hi Benjamin,
We lease streaming videos from Films on Demand and Ambrose Video.
Both vendors allow for the purchase of individual titles, but also provide
“bundles” for sale
(however, I’m more of an individual title kind of gal).
The videos are used regularly, but I wouldn’t call it heavy use.
I think this is kind of what I'm getting at. When libraries buy something,
they have the right to turn around and lend it. But since libraries are
not buying DVDs from Netflix, they don't inherit the right to then lend
them. It's because it's a difference can o' worms that, I'm thinking,
makes
First Sale has to do with commercial property transfer exclusively, I
think. In other words, it has to do with the rights of legal buyers. The
NetFlix transaction is a rental--a temporary "lease"?--and is, I would
imagine, a different can o' worms. But then again, I'm in no way
positive.

Hi Benjamin
You've asked a question that's difficult to answer as posed.
Alexander St. press offers what are pitched as "curated" collections:
i.e. collections of topically-related or genre-related materials selected
by "a body of experts". As I've written ad nauseum, I have real problems
with
One thing that comes to mind for me that hasn't come up in any of this
discussion (which makes me wonder if I'm off base) is the issue of the
first sale doctrine, which is what allows libraries to lend all that we
lend. Borrowing dvds from Netflix would not confer this right, correct?
Thereby m
We discourage it - cases are labeled "Do not place in bookdrop." But they
aren't penalized when it happens.
We're not too worried about potential damage, but neither have we felt that
it's worth the trouble of removing the labels.
Neither external bookdrop is conveniently located, so they only g
Dear Colleagues,
I was wondering if you could share your experiences with streaming
video, such as Alexander Street Press. I am interested in matters such
as the following:
* Are such services well used by students and faculty members?
* Do you purchase streaming videos outright
Hi Meghann,
We do allow videos to be returned in our book drops (we don't have separate
ones for media) and so far we haven't had any problems.
Cheers,

I believe this was a Disney Movie Club exclusive title that is no longer
available. (Disney putting a movie in the vault--what a surprise.)

Hi Rick,
Filmakers Library has a 25 min film on a crisis during the Cold War
which brings to light the tensions of that time.
It is Voices from the Brink: The Cuban Missile Crisis. The

Greetings!
Never posted before, but wanted to share the lovely review we just received
for "The Red Tail" in Video Librarian (Three Stars!). Would love to see
this film used by schools across the United States and around the world!

Well, unfortunately, some of the best stuff is now out of distribution
(War and Peace in the Nuclear Age; The Cold War (narrated by Kenneth
Branagh); Post-war Hopes, Cold War Fears (Bill Moyers))

Thanks for all the responses on Tattle-tape and laptops. All of the responses
I've received have been on-list, so I won't compile responses. It sounds like
the tape makes the disc unbalanced, versus any magnetic interference between
the tape and the computer. It is disconcerting to hear the tape
Honestly I can't figure it out. I went through the store of one seller and
it seemed legit to me. Perhaps if there is someone here lurking from
Midwest Tape , B& T or anyone that buys directly from Disney they could
check. It is certainly odd for a small time Amazon seller to have a title

A patron has asked us about this title. It's a 3 part episode from 1967
Disney's Wonderful World of Color. It's listed on Amazon, as a Disney

on E-Bay, but I can't locate it on the Disney store. Even though Wo
Hello everyone,
We have just discovered that someone is coming in and taking our Juvenile

It looks like they are taking the games out of the cases and putting the cases
back.
Apparently it is pretty easy to unlock these red/green locked cases.
I looked it up on Google and there wer

I have a faculty member looking for film suggestions on the following topic:

Is anyone aware of a good 1-2 hour film on early Cold War history and politics?
