This is a perfect candidate for making a replacement using 108 or 107. If you use 108, you'll need to make an analog copy for circulation (you could also make a digital one to keep on site). If you choose to assert fair use, you could make and circulate a digital copy (with restrictions - like only for in class uses - if you feel that makes your case a better one). Doing this under 107 would carry some risk. Any fair use may be challenged in a court. I feel like the risk here is minimal and there could be many ways to keep it low by protecting the copyright holder's interests (like having a policy that you'd replace it with a new copy, should that become available).
I await Jessica's response :) mb Michael Brewer Team Leader for Instructional Services University of Arizona Libraries brew...@u.library.arizona.edu -----Original Message----- From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Jean Reese Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2012 8:27 AM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] Help Locating an old film for replacement Good Morning, We have a vhs tape in our collection titled "The Achievers" (1973) from Southerby Productions. The tape has become worn, and since a faculty member has expressed interest in continuing to use it, we are hoping to find a replacement. So far, no luck. In fact, I was unable to find an entry in WorldCat. I did locate a little blurb on Southerby Productions but all it lists is Long Beach California. Does anyone have any contact info for them? I believe Norm Southerby is/was the President. Has anyone ever heard of this film? The subject is Psychology(Motivation)and tells the story of ten young people who demonstrated dedication, hard work, and goal setting to achieve success in their lives. If the film is not available, got any suggestions for something else on this subject. Thanks for your help with this.
