My university is considering creating a digital repository. It will include faculty and students' scholarly works, theses, dissertations, archive, etc. Eventually it will include AV materials about the university. does anyone have experience with this project? How do you deal with copyright issues? I've noticed some universities are modeling their copyright statement based on YouTube's saying that we digitize and post all materials and if someone has the rights to a work posted and does not want the work be accessible freely by all can contact us and we will remove it from the repository. Is this a legally sound practice?

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.
