So do you think it would be permissible under the 'license' wording
below, to buy a home dvd and then only let it be checked out for use
at home? Or because we don't need "public exhibition rights" for
private in-library viewing or under TEACH, can a library disregard
the need to purchase at the institutional price? ($25 vs. $100)
"Home DVDs are licensed for private home viewing only. Institutional
DVDs include full in-house public exhibition rights. These are DVDs
for schools, museums, etc. Home DVD orders placed for institutional
usage are subject to cancellation."VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
