McCleskey Sent: Monday, February 22, 2016 12:31 PM To: '[email protected]' <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Videolib] Digital Repository & copyright Hi Farhad, I think that the best practice for an institutional repository is to seek permission for materials where the submitting author of the University does not clearly own the copyright in the work. For example, I know that in the Scholarly Commons repository for the law school at Hofstra, permissions were sought for (for example) journal articles written by Hofstra faculty but published in scholarly legal journals not affiliated with Hofstra. For recorded events such as panels or conferences, permission must be obtained from participants prior to recording. I think that's pretty standard. Georgetown has a pretty clear outline of their policies for inclusion: http://www.library.georgetown.edu/ir/policies In terms of AV materials, similar policies would apply. If the video is produced by the University, to promote the University or whatever, the University probably retains copyright. But if you're looking at athletic events, music concerts, plays ... the University would need to develop and implement a permissions policy. I think it really depends on the type of av material the repository would include.

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.
