Dear Collective Librarian knowledge of what is permitted or not, The following is an exchange of mails, I have rubbed out the name of the University library, My query is: can a library accept a DVD without knowing if they have permission to use it?

It must be misunderstanding It must be a copy that I sent to someone to preview only. The Darien Dilemma contains Archive Stills and Footage for which we paid so as we respect other peoples copyrights we expect that our copyrights will be respected. Let us know If you want to purchase it for your library, please give our catalogue a peek, I recommend our new film "One Day after Peace" http://onedayafterpeace.com/index.php http://docsforeducation.com/ Cheers Nahum Laufer Sales Docs for Education Erez Laufer Films Holland set 10 Afulla 18371 Israel ============ From: Monica sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 3:32 PM To: nahum laufer Subject: RE: The Darien Dilemma DVD on Worldcat This DVD was a donation to the library.

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.
