I wonder how many media librarians working in academia are aware of the fact
that many journal subscriptions are also subject to the same tiered
pricing as is the
distribution of documentary films. For example:
*Families in Society* (annual subscription)
* Individual: $65
* Non-profit agency: $286
* Institution: $315
*Psychotherapy* (annual subscription)
* Individual: $142
* Institution: $425
*Chinese Education & Society* (annual subscription)
* Individual: $149
* Institution: $1462 (paper and electronic)
These examples are very much the norm and not the examples. And as far as
I know, the same institutional rate is applied to all academic
institutions--regardless
if they are junior colleges, small liberal colleges, or large universities.
Just some more food for thought (or...um ...contention.)
Cheers!
Anthony

Not to mention that in this line:
"When filmmakers complete a film, they look for the best opportunities
to distribute their work to different markets and usually work with
different distributors who hold rights to different types of markets.
New Day Films, as many of you know, is a cooperative distribution
company that distributes to the educational market, which includes
university and college as well as public library, K-12 and community
organizations."
. . . there is an assumption that distributors hold right to markets.
That's not something written into any kind of law, it's one of those
assumptions that makes fools out of people!

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.
