FYI: New post from Brandon Butler at American University's Glushko-Samuelson Intellectual Property Law Clinic:
"Fair Use, MOOCs, and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act: Frequently Asked Questions" "In October 2015 the Librarian of Congress issued an important new rule permitting faculty and staff creating MOOCs (massive open online courses) to copy short clips from video media protected by digital locks. The rule was the result of a petition brought by clinic students Mark Patrick and Sarah O'Connor.....To help MOOC faculty and staff understand and apply the new rule, Peter Decherney and I have prepared a short FAQ." http://ipclinic.org/2016/01/22/fair-use-moocs-and-the-digital-millennium-copyright-act-frequently-asked-questions/ The PDF is at the bottom of the page.

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.
