[Videolib] media circulation at same desk as regular circ?
There's talk here of getting rid of the media desk, and merging it with the regular circulation desk, in an attempt to same money on the staff budget. I don't like this, but I'm not sure why. We have two collections--one which circulates to students, and I'm sure that could be handled at the circ desk. But we also have a teaching collection, which is booked for faculty in advance--or, which happens often, faculty can call us and book titles on the spot. These videos don't circulate outside of the Library, except for use by faculty in classes, or for faculty preview. It seems to me that having two service desks is a good idea, to relieve stress and congestion. But I don't have any evidence for this, and I'm a committee of one, the only Media Librarian here, and thus, I have a vested interest in keeping a separate media desk. Has anyone gone through this? Does anyone have any ideas pro or con for merging media operations with the print circulation desk? Any help/feedback would be much appreciated! 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.
Re: [Videolib] media circulation at same desk as regular circ?
We have merged all our desks and have most circ done through express check out (self-serve), so the desks can spend more time on problems, information and reference. We've been able to move people to other work by reducing the desk staffing (or move them to higher volume areas). All of our media is paged and put on a hold shelf for customers to retrieve and check out. We page materials every 3-4 hours during the day (and this is part of a larger paging/reshelving process, so it really does not cost us any more than not doing it). This is not optimal (does not allow for browsing), but has eliminated our theft problem. mb Michael Brewer Team Leader for Instructional Services University of Arizona Libraries brew...@u.library.arizona.edu -Original Message- From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Maureen Tripp Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2010 7:43 AM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] media circulation at same desk as regular circ?

Re: [Videolib] PPR for Glue (2006)
OK next time I am charging at least $10 for these searches. The company you want is the Bureau Company in London. I suggest you email them and explain briefly you want to show the film (I hope you have access to a legit DVD) and understand there will be a fee and give them some info on the regular range of fees. Keep in mind if they go along, the will want a SIMPLE transaction as in you agree on a fee and they grant permission and you wire money. They are not likely to want to fill out any tax or other forms. http://www.thebureau.co.uk/ Good luck On Thu, Nov 4, 2010 at 11:36 AM, Jessica Rosner jessicapros...@gmail.comwrote: Sadly some chance this could be caught up in bankruptcy limbo, however in cases like this I suggest you locate the original review from Variety which should list the original producer/company and see if you can google them.

Re: [Videolib] media circulation at same desk as regular circ?
We are a small university (only 6500ish FTE). We just moved into our new library last year, with staffing 'til 2am most nights. Student workers and training them is such a headache, I proposed combining our desks (I technically oversee them both). Circ on first floor; media/reserves on the 2nd floor. The idea was not only to combine student workforce and save money, but also to combine the two public services staffs a bit (those who worked with the Circ counter supervision and Reserves on the first floor/others who deal with shelvers, media ordering, cataloging on second floor)A great idea I thought, however due to the fact that the building is brand new, it was deemed not appropriate to already change things around and take down a counter area that had just been built Timing is everything, and unfortunately, it didn't occur to me 2-3 years ago when planning the building that it should be done. Alas and alack.maybe in a couple more years :) Rhonda Rhonda Rosen| Head, Media Access Services William H.

[Videolib] A fair use question re: faculty development
Looks like we're a chatty bunch today. Let me add, if I might, a hypothetical for the collective wisdom that is videolib. Let's say a campus's multicultural concerns committee (or some such entity) wishes to hold a faculty development session. Said session will be closed, attended by 20 or so faculty members, with an outside guest speaker who likes to utilize a short film in his sessions. Let's say this somewhat-more-than-just-a-clip short isn't commercially available. In fact, it's been produced by a news agency... say, someplace like CNN. You, as the media person, get tasked with determining whether this item can be purchased, whether rights are needed for it to be used in the session and, if so, whether rights can be arranged for an off-air recording if the item cannot be purchased. You with me so far? Now let's say you attempt, via email and phone, to contact the licensing folks at said news agency, you receive an absolutely worthless email in response which totally misses your point, and that in response to your phone inquiry, you are instructed to fax a request form. You do fax this form... and you wait... for a month. You fax it again and still receive no response. So, anyone want to take on any part of this: The need for rights in a case like this? The appropriateness of using of an off-air if no copy is commercially available? How the hell you get rights people to respond to requests? What a reasonable timeframe ought to be or, correspondingly, what constitutes a good faith effort? How one encourages faculty to continue to try to do things the right/proper/legal way when doing so leads nowhere? All hypothetically, of course.

You, as the media person, get tasked with determining whether this item can be purchased, whether rights are needed for it to be used in the session and, if so, whether rights can be arranged for an off-air recording if the item cannot be purchased. You with me so far? Now let’s say you attempt, via email and phone, to contact the licensing folks at said news agency, you receive an absolutely worthless email in response which totally misses your point, and that in response to your phone inquiry, you are instructed to fax a request form. You do fax this form… and you wait… for a month. You fax it again and still receive no response. So, anyone want to take on any part of this: The need for rights in a case like this? The appropriateness of using of an off-air if no copy is commercially available? How the hell you get rights people to respond to requests? What a reasonable timeframe ought to be or, correspondingly, what constitutes a good faith effort? How one encourages faculty to continue to try to do things the right/proper/legal way when doing so leads nowhere? All hypothetically, of course.

[Videolib] From Bluegrass to Broadway: Your assistance needede
Hi all I am currently serving as an advisor on a planning grant funded by the NEH, awarded to the Tribeca Film Institute for a project entitled From Bluegrass to Broadway, a film history of popular music in America. (I've attached a summary of the project.) Tim Gunn, the project director, is looking for ways to use the Internet to enhance the on-site program and also to extend the program to interested persons who are unable to attend the local offering. He would like to discuss the project with librarians who have had experience in using the Internet as part of their public programming, such as: --Promotion and advertising --Distribution of program materials (copies of articles, transcripts, etc.) --Filming, digitizing, and streaming programs (such as lectures, panel discussions, etc.) --Streaming videos acquired elsewhere --Conducting on-line discussions If you have experience in any of these or other ways to use the Internet or have information that might be helpful, Tim would very much appreciate speaking with you. Please email him at: timgun...@gmail.com or call at 212-595-8367. Feel free to forward this note to any lists you think might be appropriate.
