This is interesting because I've seen a few items in our collection that,
rather than being purchased outright, were listed as lease for life. It's
just like a purchase in that we paid for it once and we can keep it forever,
but now I wonder if that kind of transaction changes what we can do
We have a 16mm print of Free at Last, from the History of the Negro People
series produced by National Educational Television. A faculty member uses the
print twice a year and has requested that we copy the film to DVD. I've
searched but cannot find who might have the rights to the series. Any
Hi Lyn
If you acquired the 16mm prints legally, you're mostly likely covered for
transfer to DVD (or other formats)under Section 108 of the copyright law.
The issue remains: 108 stipulates that the duplicated/transferred copy be
used within the library building...my personal approach to this
Technically, no one really owns a purchased copy of a piece of media,
ever. You acquire the piece with certain rights and/or stipulations (right
to screen or view it in certain contexts, etc. etc.) Most purchase
transactions are implicitly or explicitly contractual and for the life of

Dear Lyn,
Is this the documentary on Martin Luther King that followed his last few
months before he was shot? (I just ran to storage to find my video tape, but
it wasn't where I expected it to be and I'm just too busy too forage, sorry
to say.) If so, I screened it back in the 1980s. At that
Actually there is no indication 108 would apply at all. I see no indication
the film is on death's door, merely that the Prof doesn't want to be
bothered screening it on 16mm ( which is definitely NOT a dead format)
As for what do to if it did in fact qualify, as usual I find your civil

No court in the land that wouldn't accept 108 as applicable, Jessica.
Let's face it, 16mm, if not obsolete, is increasingly arcane and unusable
in most teaching contexts. I'm totally with you on knee-jerk conversions

Hello, Rick Sayre,
Bullfrog Films offers Nuclear Dynamite DVD, a unique documentary that
investigates American and Soviet plans to use nuclear explosives for
geographical engineering.
The DVD is available in two versions, 72 and 52 minutes.

Dearest Gary,
This is where I have to jump in. As a matter of fact, the interest in, and
study of, small gauge films (8mm, Super 8mm, 9.5, 16, 17.5, 28, etc) is
probably the biggest and best trend in film studies this past decade, thanks

All good points, Dennis...I adore 16mm (and 35 and 70...)
However:
Consider this: UC Berkeley, one of the premiere educational institutions
in the world, does not have a single, working 16mm projector on campus
(the PFA doesn't count...they're a world unto their own).
I'm sure I'm not alone.
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
If anyone is interested I would happy to supply names and contacts of people
around the country who sell fix 16mm equipment. It may well be a budget,
storage convenience issue , but 16mm is most definitely not dead by any
legal or practical definition. I regularly attend festivals where it is

Dear Colleagues,
At your institutions, is DVD and Video selection the responsibility of
subject specialists, or primarily the responsibility of a media
specialist? Or is the responsibility shared?
Thank you very much for your feedback.

Another point about large collections, is the long tail. This is a concept
usually discussed in the context of
At our library we have librarians who are also subject bibliographers,
and they are responsible for selecting materials in their subject
areas. They also serve as liaisons to the departments on campus and
work with the faculty to acquire items needed for their research and
for their students
As the Media Librarian, I probably do 90% of the selection, but I do
solicit opinions from the faculty, and after 10 years here I have a
feeling for what would be useful for our faculty.
