I am appealing to the collective wisdom of the list! I am helping a dance professor put together an online course on the history of dance. She is using multiple library resources - some will be entire programs with permissions, some will be entire programs with licensing fees, and others will be fair use excerpts.
My question to you all: is there any problem with digitizing vhs material that is the personal property of the faculty member and no longer available for us to purchase for the AV Library? They are legally acquired copies of the professor, and I would apply the same standards of trying to trace rights that I have done for the library material. We would not be keeping copies in the AV Library. The digitizations are strictly for the online course the professor is teaching. I don't think that there is a problem, but I thought that I would check it out with my colleague experts!!

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.
