Apologies for duplication, but wanted to remind you of a webinar of interest to this list that has been re-scheduled for tomorrow, January 5th at 2pm EST/11am PST.
Newly retired deg farrelly will be presenting on the Section 108 cooperative database developed by himself, Chris Lewis, and Jane Hutchinson. All best, Brian Boling. CopyTalk webinar: Section 108 video project Starting in the late 1970s academic libraries built collections of VHS titles with an emphasis on supporting classroom teaching. On average, academic libraries have more than 3,000 VHS tapes. Eclipsed by robust and rapid adoption of DVDs, the VHS era is now over. But a crisis is welling for libraries. Of the hundreds of thousands of VHS recordings commercially released, a substantial number never were released on DVD or in streaming format. To compound matters, industry experts estimate that various forces converge against VHS (age of tapes, irreparable and irreplaceable equipment, retirement of VHS technicians) ultimately making the format inaccessible by 2027. Under Section 108 of U.S. Copyright law, libraries have an available remedy to this problem. The law allows duplication of some items if prior to duplication, a reasonable search determined that an unused copy of the title is not available. This session presents a cooperative database, established to capture the search efforts for current distribution of VHS video titles, and to identify titles eligible for duplication under Section 108. Our speaker will be deg farrelly, who has been a media librarian for 40 years, the last 25 at Arizona State University. He has played instrumental roles at multiple companies in the development of streaming video collections and licensing, including the first PDA, the first subscription and the first EBA models.

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.
