Happy Monday,
I am trying to locate the actual code from the Copyright Office for a citation so I can figure out if this statement is true or false, or somewhere in between. Since this statement didn't have a source, I'm trying with no success tracking down the relevant code to verify the accuracy of this. SCENARIO: An instructor requests a copy of a library-owned video in a format that will play on University classroom equipment in Europe or Asia, such as PAL format. GUIDELINE: This would be a fair use if a copy in the needed format cannot be purchased at a reasonable market price. The library may make one copy of the media and place the original in storage until the copy is returned and destroyed. Thanks!

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.
