Re: [Videolib] Looking for annual data on video circulation in academic libraries
I think Jonathan asks a very interesting question. The different platforms for streaming report “engagement” or how long someone viewed the content, with varying degrees of granularity. But I know that for us hard copy circulation is steadily declining and streaming use is growing every year. Unfortunately our hard copy collection also took an accessibility hit a couple of years ago when I had to reduce hours in the Film and Media Library, because of a rather unexpected staff loss due to a layoff. So I think the physical collection has had several strikes against it. I have hatched a scheme to move the physical collection back to the main library for greater accessibility, but that may not come to fruition for several years. Accordingly, I am adding fewer and fewer DVDs and more and more streaming titles.

Re: [Videolib] Bushmen of the Kalahari
deg and all, I'm having lunch with Forsberg tomorrow so I'll have to beat him up for Jessica's sake. :-) (I really can't, he's much bigger and younger than me, and besides, I've always liked him.) And sorry, but I'm feeling kind of philosophical once again, so here's another long winded examination of an already beaten-to-death discussion. I just went over 108 pretty carefully just now and the only case it seems where streaming would be possible is what I call the Schwartz provision (17, 108, h, 1) which allows for distribution of the film in the last 20 years of a copyright if it is not in release. For commercial reasons, streaming is considered by most a contractual form of distribution. Here's what I got from my lawyer to include in contracts because it's the commonly agreed upon legal definition. (And they also have a fair use lawyer in the firm so they are not commercial only.) Computer Network Exhibition means the broadcast and exhibition of the Pictures by means (i) of the Internet or any other computer network system including, without limitation, any intranet (including wide area intranet) or extranet system, local area network, proprietary computer service, or any virtual private network, whether by wired or wireless means (including, without limitation, any “Wi-Fi” or “Wi-Max” protocols); and (ii) that geographically filter transmission so that the Pictures are available solely to consumers within the Territory. For the avoidance of doubt, Computer Network Exhibition includes transmission of an audiovisual program by means of Video Streaming and Video Downloading. So streaming is considered Exhibition. There's an interesting clause I just saw. If 17, a, 2, ii is in effect, does that mean only one library can do that particular film? It seems so. I don't know whether a judge would say that it's only one to three copies if you stream it and is available to multiple students at one time and if the copy is not made available to the public in that format outside the premises of the library or archives. I'd say it would be an interesting case for the judge, but beyond 108 which I think has a number of restrictions the judge could find against the library along with a number of rules that might favor them -- that's what makes it interesting), but what if the plaintiff could prove best efforts haven't been used to keep the system properly secure (and that's a tough one since it's almost a daily battle) and commercial value would be threatened? Anyway, besides my real belief that streaming is exhibition, I could bring up the practical matter. Not only my old belief that it would further damage the financial model that allows smaller films to be distributed (because those are the ones most likely to be affected by this use -- Disney would not be hurt from ten less sales of FROZEN), but also it would discourage costly preservation of the very films needed by librarians. The public has proven that they want better versions of films they love. Librarians tend not to buy unless their copy is unplayable. How many librarians see a title newly revised and go to their stacks to see the quality of their version? I have three great examples from our recent releases. There was a version of Shirley Clarke's THE CONNECTION that was put out ten years ago on DVD. The cover looked so professional, even the producer's estate thought it was legit. But upon watching the DVD itself, it's a terrible copy stolen from Mystic Fire's 1980s vhs copy. Even the legit copy of PORTRAIT OF JASON put out by Second Run in 2009 turns out to be missing five minutes of footage by error. And of course IN THE LAND OF THE WAR CANOES has been replaced by a newer version (IN THE LAND OF THE HEAD HUNTERS) that has fifteen more minutes including some very important rituals. So, I'd love to know the number of librarians who saw the release and decided not to buy because their library already had a copy? And how many times does this happen on a monthly basis? To use Jessica's most popular analogy, what if you had a copy of MOBY DICK that was missing five pages? Anyway, I'm so sorry I had to use my own examples and it does sound like a sales pitch but I know that you already bought them deg, so I was sure you wouldn't feel like I was picking on you. It's MAINLY to show that while 108 can be a very valuable tool, like everything about copyright, it can be a dual-edged sword. It actually can be an inhibition against further innovation!

Re: [Videolib] Bushmen of the Kalahari
? How does the law not preclude streaming without a license? If you don't need a license to stream ( and FYI streams often if not mostly viewed OFF campus so ) then why ever pay for them? Streaming is an exclusive right of a rights holder You have to pay for any title you want to stream at least an entire film . Ironically it was the GSU and Google Books cases which made this even clearer recently as in both cases it was emphasized ONLY portions of works could be digitzed and put online ( and that portion is still under appeal) without approval of the rights holder so not like there is not very current law on the issue. How is work copied from a presumably out of print VHS able to be streamed without clearance from a rights holder if you could not do that with say Citizen Kane or Grey Gardens? Please show me where Section 8 makes reference to that or are you claiming fair use despite the GSU and Google book case decisions?

[Videolib] Bushmen ad nauseum
Dennis Once again you have laid out clear and articulate statements from a film distributor/preservationist point of view. I appreciate your efforts, and welcome the intellectual challenge you provide us all. You have given me fresh food for thoughtŠ and I am going to look closely at the sections of the copyright law that you reference. But in the meantime, I think it is imperative that we keep in mind that when I (or librarians of my ilk) talk about Section 108 duplication (with or without streaming in the mix) we are talking about titles that have been legally acquired in the first place, and researched for replacement without success. Titles purchased for the express purpose of curricular and research support. I welcome filmmakers, restorers, preservationists to step forward and say We've restored this titleŠ I will happily purchase a clear, clean copy to replace my cr@ppy VHS (Umatic? Laserdisc?) copy. You already know the extent to which I have supported commercial restoration. (Not enough I fear) Recently I was all set to preserve my laserdisc copy of the 1936 version of Show Boat, when I discovered that it had been re-released. MUCH happier to have the DVD than a dubbed copy. More recently I noticed our copy of This is the Army was lousy (and probably not a kosher copy to begin with) So I ordered a new copy. Librarians are NOT out to rip off publishers, as some would claim. And in the absence of a clear legal ruling on media duplication and streaming we (some of us anyway) are going to continue to exercise the rights as we ahd our legal counsels have interpreted the law. Please give Walter a big hello from me, and express my appreciation of his research and efforts. -deg On 3/16/15 7:10 PM, videolib-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu videolib-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu wrote: I'm having lunch with Forsberg tomorrow so I'll have to beat him up ...

I thought there might be an 'extra' feature on a dvd television season that might be helpful, but those are harder to search for given their lack of indexing, and I'm also running into the same issue of not seeing one that is more comprehensive.

[Videolib] Local cataloging practice question
Question about your cataloging policy: If you have invoked US Copyright Law Section 108 to make a copy of a video in your collection, do you provide a catalog record for the copy/ies? If so, does the catalog record contain a reference to Section 108? Thanx.

Re: [Videolib] Bushmen of the Kalahari
Sarah US Copyright Law, Section 108 grants libraries rights to make digital copies of works they own that are lost, stolen, damaged, deteriorating, or in an obsolete format, provided they are unable to find an unused copy at a reasonable price after a reasonable search. Research by Forsberg and Piils demonstrates that VHS (while not obsolete by the LC definition) is a deteriorating format. If you have been unable to locate a new copy in the marketplace you do not need permission. You should feel comfortable envying Section 108 to make up to three (3) digital copies. The law does not preclude streaming as the format of a digital copy. -deg deg farrelly ShareStream Administrator/Media Librarian Arizona State University Libraries Tempe, AZ 85287-1006 602.332.3103 I'm trying to figure out if I can stream the John Marshall film made for National Geographic television, Bushmen of the Kalahari (narrated by Leslie Nielsen). 1974.

You beat me to the punch other than probably never on DVD. Kaleidoscope appears to be UK distributor so maybe you could get a PAL copy but not an NTSC copy.

[Videolib] Videos on WWI
Greetings All, I have a teacher who's looking for a video, preferably not longer than 60 minutes in length, that provides a substantive overview of World War I with emphasis on the portions fought outside of Europe and the effects of the war outside of Europe. This would be for a high school AP World History class, and so it really needs to look beyond trench warfare and the United States' role, which is so often the focus. Portions of a longer video or series could also work if it gives it that breadth. It's fine if it covers the standard material in addition. Any ideas?

Re: [Videolib] Looking for annual data on video circulation in academic libraries
Thanks Jane and Chris, I am working on the same project at Ohio U in order to make my case for streaming services, along with providing enough data to show that we need a general fund for purchasing media either in streaming or DVDs. For us, I don’t think all subject librarians are aware of how much use our collection gets; so getting stats together will help me raise awareness and promote collections. I’m also trying to put together a ‘media team’ as we have no official ‘media librarian’ (I’m the ‘go to/cares about’ person and have not updated our collection policy in quite a while. Lots to gather, but these kinds of conversations are very useful to me, so thank you.
