Gail, et al. i didn't read this kastenmeier link, but is this the "10day/35day" rule? Which means, record off-air at faculty request in order to make it possible for students to review something they might miss -- active on the shelves for 10 days and in 'escrow" up to 35 days, at which point it's supposed to be erased?
If you really followed that to the letter I think you could basically record anything -- from food channel to CSI. It just had to serve this make-up kind of purpose. Time shifting for a good reason. Did I get this right?

We've recorded programs off-air at faculty request for 35+ years and, back in the day, licensed a fair number of them to be kept in the collection. In so doing, we have/still do observe the Kastenmeier guidelines, but have always declined requests to record programs off cable stations (basically anything other than ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS). Not being a committed TV viewer, I'm unclear as to the nature of MSNBC (cable exclusively or hybrid station of some sort?) and whether, according to the K. guidelines, it qualifies as a station from which it is permissible to record. If it is, I do understand the convoluted follow-up restrictions.

My first inclination is to say no. Is this correct? Thanks, Gail -- Gail B Gail B.
