We offer a lab that has a dvd/vhs player attached to a Pc and a MAC to allow analog-to-digital transfers and clipping. A lab assistant is available to hold a person's hand through the process, but we don't offer classes or tutorials on it or 'give them the fish'. There are places on campus that will do it for a faculty member or student, but it costs $$. As to copyright- Fair Use and the 'analog-hole' of the DMCA allow migration and the use of clips.
Cheers from Nebraska! richard From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Laura Jenemann Sent: Monday, July 21, 2014 2:28 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] DIY Analog to digital and copyright instruction Dear videolib, Does anyone out there offer education to their users about making clips from analog sources, along with copyright and fair use information? I see a bit of information out there about universities with clip making services, but can't find anything yet on educating users in a DIY environment. What's the saying? Teaching people how to fish instead of giving them the fish?

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.
