[Videolib] anatomy tv
Dar Wisdom, Have any of you used the database called anatomy tv?: http://www.anatomy.tv/ For me this is not a video database. For me this is mostly a sciences database (kind of textbook made into a database) or maybe is cool for some of you Any thoughts. Reason I asked if someone wants me to pay for it as video. I remember 10 years ago seen a really cool software on anatomy, that was really fantastic for that time and for sure is not this. But have no idea of name or anything. Anyone can suggest something more interactive for health sciences?

Re: [Videolib] Permissible amounts in fair use
It's worth noting that Judge Evans actually emphasized that it is legitimate to excerpt an entire chapter (even a chapter written by a different author from the rest of the book) in order to provide students with a context for the material to be discussed. That is, she justified including MORE THAN the smallest possible portion. She also stressed that transformative use of academic materials (i.e. the kind of factual reports involved in the case) is not only not necessary but is precluded by the nature of the materials and the way they are to be used. There is nothing in the decision, in fact, about video materials, nothing about transformative uses, and nothing about the Section 110 face-to-face + TEACH question. It's all about library e-reserves based on nonfiction books, though obviously Judge Evans's reading of Fair Use is relevant to educational use of media.

Re: [Videolib] Permissible amounts in fair use
Well we now have a 10% ruling from a Federal Court but since the material in question was non fiction it would almost surely be less for works of fiction. There is about 100 years of case law which gives fiction work significantly more protection (and non fiction less). HOWEVER there is also significant case law that amount used should be the MINIMUM needed to achieve the purpose and that is what I was stating. Sadly too many people and groups have simply ignored actual copyright cases so I am not too hopeful they will accept the GSU ruling. I have yet to hear from a single proponent of the you can use the whole work if it is REALLY needed theory, respond to this ruling (Deg?). I expect this might well be appealed by the publishers on a number of grounds but like I have said I am just fine with a 10% rule. One side issue I just want to mention because it drives ME NUTS. The GATT treaty which retroactively ( yes but that is because the rights holders basically never had a chance to copyright their material) copyrighted tens of thousands of films was attacked by virtually the same people now claiming you can digitize and stream an entire work. We were told it horrible, it would be then end of Public Domain and The Supreme Court would strike it down. Instead it led to huge number of foreign films for the first time being available in high quality copies and the Supreme Court completely upheld it. However unlike the institutions I know are illegally streaming whole films in the 10 years the GATT case wound it's way through the courts it was enforced.

Re: [Videolib] Permissible amounts in fair use
Good points -- I see another healthy debate on the horizon. Hold football for Lucy, hope for the best, rinse, repeat. If I'm not mistaken it was the Kinko's case here in Ann Arbor, where some of these specific percentages were discussed. I think the prof. had copied 30-40% of a book, but the additional argument that had some substance centered not so much on the large percentage but that the good parts were primarily what was copied. Good parts core substantive argument, etc. Qualitative, not quantitative. At any rate, it seems to me that stating something as exact as 10% is an effort in futility -- doesn't that miss a lot of the point, even though it is one part of the fair use review?

Re: [Videolib] Permissible amounts in fair use
Honestly I am not obsessed with 10% especially if the material is say under an hour, my problem is and has been the absurd claim that an entire work of any length could be digitized and streamed in its entirety I should also confess that actually thought most of the material in the GSU case was actually a lot longer.

Program schedule is available on the CIP website www.umuc.edu/cip2012 *PRESYMPOSIUM SEMINARS*—*June 6*: *You will have the choice between 2 workshops offered throughout the day. Three-hour workshops include:* •*Copyright 101 *- Nancy Sims, Copyright Program Librarian, University of Minnesota: This interactive session will provide you with some solid foundational knowledge in copyright, as well as help you build confidence in addressing complex copyright issues in ways that will work well for your institution. •*Policy Creation and Revision* - Steve McDonald, General Counsel at Rhode Island. Institutional Copyright Policies: Who, How, What, and Why? Copyright law is increasingly important to colleges and universities, which are among both the biggest creators and the biggest users of copyrights at a time when copyright is itself increasingly important to our nation’s economy. But at the same time, copyright law is little known or understood on our campuses, and its default provisions frequently are at odds with our practices. The unfortunate results of this lack of knowledge and attention can include lost opportunities, internal misunderstandings and conflict, and litigation. To a significant degree, such problems can – and should – be addressed through the development and implementation of institutional policies. This practical workshop will focus on the who, how, what, and why of doing so, from both an ownership and a use perspective. *SPEAKERS:* *We have dynamic speakers and panelists this year!* Keynote speakers: Lawrence Lessig, Director, Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University, IP Scholar and author will be the opening keynote on June 6! Peggy Hoon, Scholarly Communications Librarian for the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) and UMUC's IP Scholar and Karyn Temple Claggett, Senior Counsel for Policy and International Affairs at the US Copyright Office will present keynote addresses on June 7 and 8.

Re: [Videolib] Permissible amounts in fair use
I once took that personality test online and it said I am most like Lucy in Peanuts. My husband, who is most like Schroeder, doesn’t let me forget it. Nickels welcome. Judge Evans talks about the Kinko’s and Michigan Documents cases, and disagrees about the “good parts” argument. In only one of the cases she considers does she say that the excerpt constituted “the heart of the work.” I’m not sure whether this is because a plaintiff argued it or it was her own analysis. NB she looks at 74 cases, of which 27 fail the prima facie copyright violation test because either the plaintiffs were not able to show they had the rights, or else the excerpt was never accessed by students (e.g. the course was cancelled). So there are 47 cases where she looks at fair use. In 100% of them she considered that the library providing free access to the excerpts (factor 1) strongly favored the defendants, and that the nature of the works (scholarship relevant to the courses) favored the defendants (factor 2). In the 5 cases where she found violations, factor 3 had to favor the plaintiffs (that is, the amount had to be more than “distinctly small”) AND factor 4 had to strongly favor the plaintiffs (not only was permission available in a reasonably convenient way, but the book in question actually made money on such permissions). There is no 10% rule. The rule is that an amount under 10% of a book with fewer than 10 chapters, or one chapter of a book with more than 10 chapters, is “distinctly small.” So in some cases 5% of a book could be more than a distinctly small portion (if it was a huge book with many chapters). I suppose that if you had a book with 12 chapters, and one chapter took up 20% of the book, that chapter could be used and still be “distinctly small.” But if the permission is difficult to come by, the amount is irrelevant. In 13 cases, factor 3 favored or even (in one case—30% of the book!) strongly favored the plaintiffs but the judge found for the defendants based on factor 4.. I shall now go fly a kite into the kite-eating tree. Judy Shoaf Good points -- I see another healthy debate on the horizon. Hold football for Lucy, hope for the best, rinse, repeat.

Re: [Videolib] Permissible amounts in fair use
So I ask again even under your view how can an ENTIRE work of any length pass a fair use test? This case apparently involved a large number of smaller excepts and I don't really care if it was only a few out of 74 that were upheld the point is the LONGER ones were found in violation so it is not brain surgery here. I never took the Lucy personality test but my friends often compared me too her and I am a big fan. That will be 5 cents for this by the way.

So there are 47 cases where she looks at fair use. In 100% of them she considered that the library providing free access to the excerpts (factor 1) strongly favored the defendants, and that the nature of the works (scholarship relevant to the courses) favored the defendants (factor 2). In the 5 cases where she found violations, factor 3 had to favor the plaintiffs (that is, the amount had to be more than “distinctly small”) AND factor 4 had to strongly favor the plaintiffs (not only was permission available in a reasonably convenient way, but the book in question actually made money on such permissions). ** ** There is no 10% rule. The rule is that an amount under 10% of a book with fewer than 10 chapters, or one chapter of a book with more than 10 chapters, is “distinctly small.” So in some cases 5% of a book could be more than a distinctly small portion (if it was a huge book with many chapters). I suppose that if you had a book with 12 chapters, and one chapter took up 20% of the book, that chapter could be used and still be “distinctly small.” ** ** But if the permission is difficult to come by, the amount is irrelevant.

Re: [Videolib] Pinterest
Hmm, interesting idea, Farhad. I'd not thought of that. I imagine Tumblr could do similar things, visually at least, but Pinterest seems to have some thematic tracking that could be of use I suppose. I should play with that a bit. I use LibraryThing to track reviews for a journal ( Asian Music ) -- I find that pretty useful. But LT is already set up to track book publishing. All potential reviewers can see what we have available, I can also track when the reviews are submitted and when they are published. And it's colorful with all those covers. I've never had a peep on any image issues. It also enters some basic library info. Hint: always looking for reviewers -- especially if you are into RAB QEEJ HMOOB , or KAEN/KAN , for that matter. http://www.librarything.com/profile/AsianMusicReviews Randal Baier - Original Message - From: Farhad Moshiri mosh...@uiwtx.edu To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 5:43:00 PM Subject: [Videolib] Pinterest Have you used “Pinterest” to advertise your library’s DVDs to your students?
