Re: [Videolib] Tricky fair use question regarding streaming video databases
This may be an instance where contract law may out weigh your fair use rights. I would say you have to check with the contract regarding the licensed database, and look for any prohibitive language. If your university signed a contract to get access to the database, that will trump the fair use rights of the person making the documentary. my two cents backed up only from what i have gleaned from following the list serve. regards and happy holidays jhs John H.

Re: [Videolib] dvd labelling
Pre printed Disc shields are an option, especially if you opt for the kind with the imbedded 3M strips for security. The cover the entire art side of the disc so you do not have to worry about throwing the disc off balance, and in this case can serve three functions: Security from theft, IDing your discs as the ones you checked out, and providing protection to the delicate art layer of the DVD. In my old position we used these for the entire collection. Even if you did not have the preprinting, if your entire collection has been covered by disc shields, it is unlikely that some one else would also disc shield a dummy disc to return.regards, jhs fellin...@aol.com 05/09/13 9:22 AM Dear List We are interested in safeguarding our DVD collection more effectively.

Deg Farrelly deg.farre...@asu.edu 4/12/2013 12:56 PM I suspect that the lack of focus on media services in campus tours is as much an issue of the * library's * focus on what matters. It is well known that historically libraries have treated media as 2nd class citizens (the red-haired stepchild as I call it). Collections get short shrift in budget, in cataloging, in building placement, as resources for research, in access (closed-stacks, anyone?) Libraries often have a say in how they are covered in tours, and provide talking points. If the media collection is not covered on the tour or interview process, it often is because the library has not highlighted it. Same with Dennis' comment about university presidents and funding. The funding is there, but libraries don't put it towards media needs*. Again because that $5000 towards media titles in one time purchase is not as important as that $5000 a year science journal. -deg deg farrelly, Media Librarian Arizona State University Libraries Hayden Library C1H1 P.O.

Re: [Videolib] UCLA has announced NewsScape an online archive of newscasts since 2005 from around the world

Are newscasts somehow less protected than other copyrighted works? Neither the UCLA or Internet Archive site say anything about agreements with the news networks. Chris Lewis *** Yes, newscasts are less protected than other copyrighted works. Creative works have more protection than statements of fact (or even purported statements of fact). This is the second of the 4 factors for fair use. the purpose and character of your use the nature of the copyrighted work the amount and substantiality of the portion taken, and the effect of the use upon the potential market. UCLA has factor 1 in its favor (educational), factor 2 somewhat in its favor, factor 4 in its favor (there is, so far as I know, no market whatsoever for old newscasts). I guess they felt that they could go for broke on the third factor. Also, if this provides text searches it adds a new functionality (transformative platform) to the originals, and the HathiTrust case (where a judge approved of posting the results of searches of as much digital text as the universities could manage, irrespective of factor 2) would support that.

Today marks my 33rd anniversary with the University, and this year my 36th as a librarian (a fact which seems more than a little surreal to me). I’ve been director of the Media Center for about 28 of those years, and there hasn’t been week, good or bad, that has gone by without my murmuring a little thanks for the cosmic hiccups that allowed me to stumble into such a cool and personally rewarding gig. I simply cannot think of anywhere that I would have been happier professionally, or another position in which I would have grown and learned and contributed as much. In some sense, I feel a bit like Mark Twain, who was born during the fiery appearance of Halley’s Comet, and who went out with its reappearance, 74 years later. I began my career in media in the early 80s, at the dawn of the home video age (or the “Video Revolution” as it was often hyperbolically called in the library literature at the time). I’m bowing out of the business at a time when the technologies and economics of video production and distribution, and the video content universe itself are again in a state of radical flux. Along with these changes, video collections and service in libraries are also bound to experience major tremors and evolutionary shifts. I’m not sure whether I’m leaving the scene feeling sanguine or pessimistic about this future, but in any case it’s definitely going to be an interesting and challenging next decade. I am going to miss all my long-time professional pals profoundly, both those on the library side and the distributor side of the fence. I grew up with a number of you in this field, and along the way you’ve become a kind of extended workaday family, complete with the obstreperous get-togethers, occasional bickering, and comforting sympathy. I’m also heartened by the number of young, creative, and energetic colleagues who have hopped on board in more recent times. Definitely makes me less gloomy about prospects for the future. Not sure exactly what I’m going to do next: I’d like to continue teaching film somewhere on campus or off; I’m up for grabs as a consultant; want to write a bit; gotta catch up on all the national cinemas I’ve given short-shrift to over the years; want to log in more gym time; would like to hone my banjo and ukulele-playing chops; want to get back to freelance cartooning and illustration. At very least, I’m aiming at becoming an accomplished and well-known Berkeley flâneur and café personality. As for the fate of the UC Berkeley Media Resources Center* In light of the dire economic straits into which UC has been shoved, it is almost completely unlikely that my position will be filled any time soon. The future of the redoubtable MRC collection and website remains murky, at best. I can’t really think about all of this too much; it’s just too damn depressing to ponder, and I’ve got other things on my mind. In other words, après moi, le deluge, and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it. For the time being, Gisele Tanasse (MLIS), crack MRC Operations Czarina, will look after the shop. She has also graciously agreed to keep an administrative eye on videolib and videonews. (Note, however, that she’s going out on maternity leave from May until around the end of September, so you’re pretty much on your own during that hiatus. Play nice!). Gisele’s email is gtana...@library.berkeley.edu. I’ll be around and wrapping things up for the next few months. My civilian email address after June is going to be garyhand...@gmail.com and I’m also on Facebook. I’d love to stay in touch (but please don’t contact me about anything having to do with copyright or fair use). Best of luck for the future, comrades! Continue fighting the good fight.

The nation rejoices (actually, 95% of them are apathetic about it while the other 20% don't care) while the school administrator (Jeremy Irons) plots to throw out those rusty cans of crap. Ryan's assistant, played by Mara Rooney, must help him find storage on campus that the administrator can never find while in a desperate race to catalog the reels.

Re: [Videolib] Segments of a DVD
Just my two cents, but I don't even think point one is actually against you either. It is my belief that point 1 means if you will be using the clips for direct profit. Yes, your institution is for profit, but the clips in and of themselves are not being used to create a product (like a new movie etc) that will be profited from, but just being shown to students, it is in essence footnotes for the professors lecture. So 2 of 4 points (34) clearly in your favor, one point (1) can easily be argued in your favor, and the fourth (2) just doesn't seem enough to warrant not using the clips. I say use them. regards jhs John H. Streepy Library-Government Publications James E.

If you ask the studio for permission, they will most certainly say no...and my guess is that buying those permissions for segments is going to be very difficult. Gary Handman Seems the consensus on here is that this is fair use: I work for a for-profit college so classroom exceptions do not apply. I have a professor who wants to screen the feature Thank You for Smoking in a classroom setting however he will not be screening the entire film. He will be choosing 5-6 snippets of the film (5 minutes long). Do I need to secure viewing rights for this? I've just been instructed by my Director that there are no exceptions for for-profit institutions and that I will need to get PPR for the film. What she wrote: Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair: 1.The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes 2.The nature of the copyrighted work 3.The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole 4.The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work Still think it's fair use?

Re: [Videolib] Plea from a Media Collection Decimation Zone
I'm curious Gary, out of that 40% that is no longer available, how many are only found at UC-B? That to me is the real part to be concerned about. On another point, shouldn't you be napping. Merry Wookiee Life Day regards, jhs ghand...@library.berkeley.edu 12/21/2011 4:29 PM I'd actually be MORE concerned for VHS collections than DVD... Our studies here at UCB indicate that as much as 40% of our vhs collection (around 25K titles) is no longer available for replacement in ANY format. gary handman We moved our DVD collection from closed stacks requiring retrieval to a strategy where we put the cases on open stacks in alphabetical order by title divided into 7 broad genres, but keep the DVD separated from the cases behind the desk. (The genres are Features, Childrens, Documentary, Performing Arts, Instructional, Television Series, and Foreign.) The patrons can browse the collection, bring the cases to the desk, the disk is retrieved, inserted into the case and checked out to the patron. We did not put any markings on the clear cases we keep the disks in. The DVDs themselves have an accession number on a donut label on the disk, (accession number is a hold over from our closed collection). So since the disks are in clear cases, we can see through to the label and we didn't need to have a one to one match between clear cases and disks. We reordered the DVD cases in alphabetical order, but keep the disks in accession number order. It also helps us manage the space where we hold the DVDs and allowed us to move through the process of getting the DVDs from a closed collection to an open stacks collection much more quickly. I can sympathize with the abrupt nature of the decision and would be concerned at the decision to keep DVDs unprotected in the cases on the shelf. I agree that there is little worry over the VHS collection, but those DVDs will disappear quickly. The worst part of the acceptance of shrinkage in my view isn't even the theft, (because we all know that happens), but that you won't know that a particular disk is missing until someone else wants it...setting you up for failure because another patron will already be disappointed. Recognizing that sometimes that disappointed patron will be a faculty member who needs it in class, might give you some leverage. Four thousand DVDs won't take up that much space. Ask for the clear cases to shelve them behind the desk. Put the DVD cases, and only the cases, on open stacks and let students browse. We have had nothing but positive feedback since making our collection browse-able. The patrons are thrilled and they are discovering so many titles they didn't know we had. I am a strong proponent of having the collection open, but protecting the collection is equally important. Feel free to contact me off list if you want more strategy.

Re: [Videolib] Fascinating Copyright situation
or if this goes to trial and the case goes against the record companies, do we see an all out blitz of remastered greatest hits packages as the record companies try to make as much money off the stuff before it belongs to the artists, thus denying the artist much of a market. Because as I read this, 2013 is the earliest the first batch of artists can get a hold of their stuff. I can see the record companies going out of their way to scorch the earth and cover it in lye if this goes against them. So on one hand it will be great that these artists will have some of the fruits of their labors, but they ain't gonna make any money off 'em for the foreseeable future. Brown, Roger rbr...@oid.ucla.edu 8/15/2011 1:31 PM One part of this discussion is whether the music rights really belong with the recording artists. Work for hire and numerous authors create a difficult legal tangle. Another part of this discussion, which Jessica alluded to, and which is more interesting culturally, is what the artists will do with the music once they get it - market it differently, sell it on their sites, let it be downloaded, rewrite contracts with labels to distribute? Record companies have been behind the curve on digital distribution for the last 20 years - they failed to figure out how to deliver to a new digital native population) - and had contentious relationships with their artists. Now that their business model is eroded, this development may change that although they will kick and scream. The anime example is regarded as true. Companies did not release anime in US and a thriving (and passionate) audience traded dupes, fansubs and fandubs at conventions and online until their number could not be ignored, and it is now a $4 billion industry. Not everyone steals everything always. What this story really foretells, with music rights further fragmented away from music labels, is the final nail in their coffin.

[Videolib] Question
Hello all, Sadly this is the summer of my discontent and I have to essentially shut my department down in the name of streamlining services and fiscal whatevers. All I know is my department is on the chopping block and I have to help move the collection to the circulation department. The head of circ is brainstorming and on of the things she brought up is making the collection browsable. We lack the funding to make the collection secure, so the thought is to go the empty case on the shelf and DVD kept behind a counter. So I am asking those libraries that have this kind of model, how are you storing your DVDs? Do you have them in sleeves, and if so how are they stored? Any help you can provide would be nice. thanks jhs John H. Streepy Media Services Supervisor Library-Media Circulation James E.

Hello All Our copy of At the Death House Door (ISBN 1-56580-849-5) stops about 20 minutes into the program and goes back to the menu. If you start the movie from the scene select window it works fine. We sent it back to Amazon and they sent us a new copy which did the EXACT same thing.

All part of being a librarian -- James Turner Rex Libris Transitus profusum est nocens! ghand...@library.berkeley.edu 5/17/2011 9:41 AM Hi All It's a weirdly rainy Tuesday here, and I'm listless...so I thought I'd share an amusing (for me)flash of cinematic illumination I had recently. I've been a juror for the New York Film Festival for the past 10 or 12 years. Up until the last few years, I was just a name on the masthead (not wanting to shell out for a trip to NY each Fall). Recently, however, the judging has gone online...a really fun thing to do. Somehow I got slotted in a strange mishmash jury category: ads, PSAs, tourism and industrial promos, industrial films, and the odd doc. Here's where the illumination comes in: The group I've judged over the past few years has included a number of ESPN documentaries. Now I gotta tell you: you could search high and low, far and wide on this planet and not find anyone LESS interested in or informed about sports than I. (I've been at UCB for close to 34 years and have never attended a game and I just learned recently that the San Jose Sharks are a hockey team)...does that tell you something?) Nonetheless, I watched. Well, I was blown away. Some of these films were made by big names: Muhammad and Larry by Al Maysles; The Band That Wouldn't Die, by Barry Levinson; Kings Ransom:, by Peter Berg; The Lost Son of Havana by the Farrelly Brothers; No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson, by Steve James. Others made by folks I haven't heard of. In all cases, I was absolutely enthralled by the high drama and skillful storytelling...really amazing stuff. Which just goes to show that in competent hands, almost anything that goes on in the world can be revealed to be worth filming and watching. The good news is that I just discovered that most of the stuff I watched (and more) is available on home video DVD: ESPN Films: 30 for 30.

[Videolib] Streaming Question

I informed him that at best he could steam a clip or two (for that is protected both by fair use and the TEACH Act) but digitizing and streaming a full feature film would violate copyright.

[Videolib] Re: Library CD sampler project
Just to make this into a discussion (something for a shortened week), would Reno's idea have more of a leg to stand on if it was changed to a recorded review of newly acquired music (or to make this more relevant to this list movies) instead of a sampler? The snippets would still be there but he would have to offer opinions on the media, or information on the media. Just wondering what others thought; or what else might have to be added to the project to make it work within the law.

I was wondering if anyone might have some feedback on the following issue: I’d like to create and offer a bi-monthly music sampler CD that would contain ten songs * all by different artists * to expose our patrons to our newly acquired music. I am planning to offer these sampler discs for loan on the honor system here at the Port Library. Currently, I am researching the possible implications of doing so, specifically whether or not any legal issues would arise. Someone I spoke to suspects that one of the major sticking points” would be the reproduction of a work (song) in its entirety without royalties being addressed. He then suggested a possible compromise * instead of entire songs, I could offer snippets of songs (30 to 60 seconds perhaps). Any idea whether the copyright laws would permit the “snippets”? Any suggestions on what my next steps should be?

Re: [Videolib] Public Domain for sale???
I think it is a problem because, yes the item is in the public domain, but what ever wrapper Internet Archives has put on the item is not. I assume Prelinger has put a Cretive Commons License on their additions, but they probably forbid commericalization of their product. Because the stream lists Prelinger Archives in the URL a downloader could think that by purchasing it at Films they are supporting the Internet archives when they may not be.

Re: [Videolib] posing a question
Marti, we use a full overlay, however not the type that is for security. We use them to prevent scratches on the art layer which could effect playback. They are handy for that, they also help stiffen the DVD up making it less likely they will break when coming off the spindle. I can not address their success or failure as a security device as we do not have the kind with the metal strips, but after 7 years of use, they do hold up well. The key is application. Once they go on, they really want to stay. Having a procedure in place is a good way to make sure you avoid problems with mis-application. I have applied every single overlay, but that was over several years, I would not want to do 1600 in a short time span. Hope this helps regards jhs John H.

But if the Library makes a decision, all faculty (whether or not the decision impacts them or not) go into conniption mode and act like the Librarians are complete morons rather than information professionals. I know a vast generalization, but how many have been impacted by a similar situation. jhs John H. Streepy Media Services Supervisor Library-Media Circulation James E.

Jeanne Little jeanne.lit...@uni.edu 4/1/2010 2:32 PM Beth, I cannot believe in an academic or educational setting, that technology staff are not educated in the ways of copyright! It boggles my mind. But then, quite a few things do... We went through a similar experience back in 2000 when our IT department decided not to mess with this any longer and gave our library every 8mm, 16mm, beta, umatic, and vhs copy they had. (Then stopped supplying viewing equipment to classrooms). Guess who got the task of sorting this mess out? I will give our IT department credit, they have come up to speed over the last decade and know they cannot convert anything from a library-owned title when it is brought in by a faculty, staff, or student without our library's permission. What is done with personal items, I don't know. Maybe it's late in the day, and my office is 82 degrees and rising, and I can't even open a window, but I am feeling pretty testy with those who think just because they can, they can. Good luck A crash course in copyright for all sounds like just the ticket.

They also advertised in that same article that they will convert all VHS tapes that faculty use to DVD. They never mentioned anything about copyright - just that because its for educational use then its ok to do the conversion (for a price). As far as I can tell they never talked to campus legal either. Needless to say we were surprised (we have over 5000 VHS tapes in our Media collection). Has any other Media unit dealt with this? I seem to remember this thread but could not find it in the archives. Any help would be appreciated. Please feel free to contact me off the list too if you would like.

Re: [Videolib] help! what would a video librarian superhero look like?
A librarian superhero would always know exactly where to go to find how to defeat the villian, but leave the actual fighting to someone else. Not because we could not do the fighting, but because that is not their role. (unless it is that Japanese Manga where all the fighting is done by Librarians) regards jhs John H.

I just spent ten minutes trying to paste Gary H's face on an Indiana Jones poster (though Gary would probably prefer Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death) for fun but then I realized that the listserv won't take images -- but you get the idea. Maureen, it's a fun exercise and you haven't mentioned why you ask, but if it's a campaign, I don't like making people into superheroes because they can't exist. People like Indiana Jones and Ben Gates (minus the violence, incredible stunts, costly special effects and massive treasure) do exist. And many libraries do have hidden national treasures.
