Hi-
Does anyone circulate noise canceling headphones in their library? We are
doing what we can go keep noise levels down on two floors, but sometimes this
is impossible. I know of the sanitation issues and expense of such phones, but
I'm curious to hear your pros and cons.
Thanks!
Debra
Hi Debra,
We circulate the Peltor noise cancelling earmuffs.

They have been very popular. They are vinyl covered and we wipe them off after
each use j
Hi Debra,
We do circulate noise cancelling headphones from two locations in the library.
We circulate them out of my department, the Music & Media Center, because our
viewing stations for reserve media items are, sadly, in very public spaces so
they are required equipment for us. That said, we
We don't have noise cancelling headphones, but we do circulate other
headphones. It is a popular service.
We have the headphones at media services desk and at the main circulation desk
for patron convenience. They're due at end-of-day (i.e. library close). Patrons
can return to either desk; we s
My apologies in advance if this topic was already covered at length.
We have instructors at my university who would like to have their
distance-education students watch the American Playhouse version of A Raisin in
the Sun (1989) that is currently available through YouTube. This version was
Well for starters youtube is not a legal copy so you can't use that andyou
can't use an entire drama under the TEACH act even if you found a legal
copy, basically you will have to try to find out who the owner is and if
they will license it though older TV titles tend to be very difficult to

Hi Lowell,
You're mixing a bunch of different things here.
1. Is it legally posted on YouTube by the copyright holder? I'm guessing no,
and therefore should not be recommended to the faculty member.
2. Public performance rights are for screening outside of a classroom and are
irrelevant here.
While I am sure there is a lot on Youtube that is posted without copyright
permission, they also seem to do a lot of licensing behind the scenes with
copyright holders, so it isn't always clear what is legal and what is not. Much
of the music that is posted by individuals (not artists) is still
I'm sorry Michael, but *many* YouTube videos with ads on it can often be
another form of copyright theft. There are many "companies" that scan
YouTube for popular sites and if these videos are not officially claimed by
ID, they claim ownership and have the ad money go to them.
Here are some articl
Thanks for the additional information, Dennis. I am sure you are right. I did
want to point out, though, that at least with music, this often happens, making
it really hard to know what is being done legally and what isn’t. It would be
really nice if these arrangements were made more explicit fo
Dennis beat me to it but I would confidently say 99% of feature films on
youtube are illegal. There are literally whole youtube "chanels" made up of
pirate material. It is technically true that youtube will "take down"
something if a rights holder fills out a form but guess what it usually
goes ba
I am going to take a contrarian point of view hereŠ..
Whether or not the video has been posted with the permission of the
copyright holder, the fact is that it has been posted on a publicly
available website, and is discoverable by anyone with moderate Internet
searching skills.
It is my opinion
Wow just screw rights holders/filmmakers if they don't police youtube every
day? RAISIN IN THE SUN is a 25 year old TV Production is so complicated it
can't even be put out on DVD. I would guarantee it has complicated rights
that are owned by more than one party It is 100% illegal. There literally
Oh, deg, I'd have to disagree with you on this. Actually, your moral
responsibility is first to email the distributor (if you deal with them)
and help them out.
And let's face it, you don't have to tell students where to find something
on the internet. That's sorta like telling your child about th

We do not loan noise canceling headphones, but we do hand out on request,
disposable ear plugs.
This started when the library was undergoing renovation, so we had buckets
of the plugs out for the public. Now we just make them available.
No need to sanitize anything, they are all individuall
