Hey Jessica - Can you hear me giggling? Summary of pretty much every conversation with students: Can we show Zombieland? No. You have to license it. Do you have money? No. Are you sure? Yes. Let me show you some great documentaries and a few independent films that you can show with no extra charge, cuz the Library has already paid the big bucks. Um, nevermind.

I have been working on a few docs that are not available retail and can only be bought with PPR rights, they may not exactly be Transformers 3 , but they are if I do say so myself very good feature films that did indeed play in a limited number of theaters as well as other venues. Take all those titles you had to buy with PPR and see if group can find stuff to program On Thu, Sep 29, 2011 at 4:35 PM, Bergman, Barbara J <barbara.berg...@mnsu.edu<mailto:barbara.berg...@mnsu.edu>> wrote: It's something new we tried out last year - we started getting more requests from student groups. Not sure if other funding disappeared or if someone is paying better attention to copyright. Thus far it's first-come. Obviously, the money isn't going to cover more than a couple of PPR film purchases, but it's a way to funnel the requests.

You mentioned that you set aside $1,000 for PPR and that student groups can apply for it with the criteria that the screening has some educational purpose. Do the students apply on a first-come basis and then when the money is gone then it's gone?

If the title seems multi-disciplinary, I'll usually pick it up with my video budget. If it's pricey and rather specialized, we can split the cost between their account and mine. For series, I usually look at per title cost. They might have to wait awhile. We've been getting more questions about PPR. Not sure if it's because less funding is available elsewhere, or if people are more aware that they need the PPR... We setup up a small account of $1000 where student groups can apply for us to buy a film with PPR for them to do a screening. (Criteria: some educational purpose, not merely for entertainment) Sounds like as much of your dilemma is internal funding structure as are the departments themselves. Good luck. I have to say that $650, it had better be for a great big public event not a single class.
