Cue Dennis to tell you really, really crappy that would look ( Beyond the highly questionable concept of "fair use" allowing the streaming of an entire copyrighted work). Now just be my little evil devil's advocate self,f I have a question for you Carrie. Since ALA believes it is legal (or maybe you believe it should be legal) to stream an entire work to students outside of the actual classroom does this mean you will advice Georgia State & UCLA both of whom have backed down, to NOT settle so this view could in fact be tested in court? I mean that is what we all want right? A clear cut legal ruling would certainly end all this debate.

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.
