Hello, Lately we have been transferring VHS tapes which we own to streaming files if they are no longer available in DVD or other usable formats pursuant to copyright regulations. I was wondering if anyone knew about streaming theater productions that have been perfumed at our College. Is it legal to copy copyrighted material for archival purposes? Additionally, these are productions of texts, many of which are in the public domain, and the productions themselves as copyrighted material should belong to the College as there were performed here.
Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers, Kylie __________________________________ Kylie Bailin Director of Outreach & Access Services Skillman Library, Room 126 Lafayette College Easton, PA 18042 610-330-5154 Lafayette College Library @LafLib
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.
