Re: [Videolib] National Theatre Live productions

[Wochna, Lorraine]

Judy et al,
My apologies, I didn’t realize you were looking at the NT Live performances.  
Yes, it probably is just like performances in the US, where the only place to 
see a taped performance is at Lincoln Center Theatre on Film.

I wonder if they would bring them to the FATHOM events that a lot of theatres 
subscribe to?  I see we are getting a few in Athens, OH
3/26 @ 7:00pm National Theatre Live presents A View From The Bridge Adult: 
$18.00 Senior & Child: $16.00

I had no idea the big blockbuster theater would do this – so thanks for 
bringing up the topic in the first place.
Best,
lorarine

Unfortunately these DVDs from the National Theatre do not include the 
performances from National Theater Live. My impression is that they are 
insisting that these be seen only in a theatrical setting. One hopes that at 
some point they will release them. I would love to see Helen Mirren as Phedre 
and I very much doubt it will be coming to a theater near me.

I am sure that there would be far more rights issues clearing it for DVD or

Re: [Videolib] National Theatre Live productions

[Jessica Rosner]

Again I suspect it would require a lot of rights clearences that people are
not willing to spend time and money on. Theatrical performances have often
had particularly complicated rights that would I think make streaming
particularly complicated for them to clear.You never know but of course but
there tend to be a lot of cooks involved and you have to reach deals with
all of them.The live events are infanetly easier to do and much more
lucrative.

Re: [Videolib] Looking for annual data on video circulation in academic libraries

[Hutchison, Jane]

Dear Jonathan,

Very interesting questions.  Just to help clarify.  We have one portal so that 
we can get our statistics from one place.  We also purchase in perpetuity/for 
the life of the film format so we don't have to worry about renewing for the 
most part.  There are a few exceptions.  And we expect to pay a reasonable 
price.

A circulation is a view in this category, though I can slice and dice it by 
minutes of viewing if I want.  But what's to say when someone checks out a 
physical copy, do they watch the whole thing.  We count circulations for 
physical copies when we do an analysis of use, and we don't know how much of 
the film they are watching.  They could start it, stop it for a bit and then 
start it again.  So I was counting circulations, no matter how long just like 
physical copies.  Yes, we have more control over streaming statistics and I can 
break it down by length of time and what percentage of the collection is being 
used.  I may just do that to see (15% or 10 minutes)?

As far as circulation for 2013-2014, we did not have the budget to purchase 
streaming that year so we primarily purchased hard copy that was being 
requested.  That is one factor in seeing the increase in hard copy circulation. 
 This year I was able to purchase in-perpetuity more streaming titles that were 
being requested so I suspect I'll see another jump in streaming.

This is a different medium so it will be interesting to do some further 
statistical analysis.  I'm lucky in that I have one portal so I don't have to 
depend on how different distributors count views.  I can see the length of time 
they are viewing and I can also determine whether they are viewing the whole 
film or just clips.  And I can determine if they are a student, staff or 
faculty member by class.

Thanks for the feedback.  Jane

Dear Jane

How do you determine a streaming “circulation” ? is that like a view, and if so 
for how long a time (30 seconds, 2 minutes etc)?

Also if I read your graph correctly, hard copy circulation since 2010 is 
basically flat, and in fact from 2013 to 2014 it went up, and more or less just 
as much as streaming went up?

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.

You can see where our circulation is heading at William Paterson University.  
We have invested much in building our streaming titles and through a careful 
collection development plan, we have been purchasing individual titles that are 
requested or identified that support the curriculum.

Hi folks,
Thought this would be of interest.  While checking on the availability of 
Deadly Deception (again), I learned about WGBH's Open Vault project.
So I made a digitization request.
The additional info they sent was that there is a $60 research fee to confirm 
if they can make the program available online.

Retracting my comment about how long.

What I'm hearing is that if an institution, or consortium agrees to pay the 
research fee, and the cost to upload the film (if available for digitization), 
then the whole world has access to that film?

Hmm, I'd be willing to possibly contribute a small amount to this project if 
other institutions are interested.

Re: [Videolib] National Theatre Live productions

[Jessica Rosner]

I sincerely doubt it. I don't see most of the event content on DVD. I could
get you the contact for the folks who do it in the theaters but I doubt
they can help.

I am sure that there would be far more rights issues clearing it for DVD or
 streaming than a special theatrical event and that probably reduces the
likleyhood.

It is, indeed, a very interesting question since different vendors count views 
or engagement differently. I was recently looking closely at views/engagement 
for some streams from different vendors for a course and comparing vendor data 
with data from Ares. The Ares data shows user id by date/time. When you look at 
this level of granularity you see multiple hits by the same user within very 
short periods of time, sometimes 10 hits or more in a minute. Clearly they are 
not watching a full film in that short space of time nor are they gaining a 
meaningful browse or “engagement”.  This type of data must be taken with a 
grain of salt. Someone should be able to devise an algorithm based on data 
(patron behavior, hit length, and computer issues) that could be applied to the 
hit data to provide a more realistic picture of what patrons are actually 
watching.

Engagement, depending on how it is defined by the vendor, is probably a better 
measure but still requires some framing. For me, engagement would have to be at 
least 15% or more of the total run time. Certainly not a hit of 30 seconds or 
less, even a couple of minutes for a two hour films is questionable. And, if, 
over time, a film never shows that it is watched in its entirety, should we be 
paying full price or purchasing access to the desired clip? Or, dare I say it?, 
claiming fair use instead.

We need to ask vendors pointed questions about the data they are supplying us. 
Vendors need to be very transparent about that data collection and presentation 
process in order to avoid being labeled as the fox guarding the henhouse .

What data are you counting? Hits to a url or some percentage of the total film 
length a user spent with a film (engagement)?
If its number of minutes watched, what percentage of the total films did those 
minute comprise?
How do you define engagement?
How many different users engaged?
What was the date range of the engagement/hits?
What was the last date of engagement/hits?
Were the hits/engagement all for the same portion of the film (clips vs. 
watching a film)?

Streams are expensive and I am sure we are not the only library to be taking 
budget hits. We need to be sure we are paying for streams our patrons are 
actually watching and not just browsing or pinging on trying to get them to 
load, or some other computer issue that is clouding patron use.

I would advocate for a different model altogether, purchase of streams outright 
for a reasonable price the way we purchased VHS, then DVD. Actual ownership of 
the format until it changes to a new format. Then all this counting could be 
amortized over a much longer period of time, the enormous and expensive 
investment libraries make in purchasing licenses, tracking licenses, and 
renewing licenses could be better spent on other activities. And perhaps we 
would have the time to devise an automated way to track patron viewing behavior 
that would provide us with meaningful and reliable data on which to base 
purchase decisions.

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.

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.

Dear Jane

How do you determine a streaming “circulation” ? is that like a view, and if so 
for how long a time (30 seconds, 2 minutes etc)?

Also if I read your graph correctly, hard copy circulation since 2010 is 
basically flat, and in fact from 2013 to 2014 it went up, and more or less just

Re: [Videolib] 108, 107 and an important documentary summit in NYC on 4/1

[Dennis Doros]

Dear Sarah,

Don't get me started on 107!

This is a prison joke that has been so standardized that you can find it
everywhere on the internet.

   After spending the morning being processed, he is taken to the huge mess
   hall for lunch. He finds a seat at a table full of inmates who look like
   they have been behind bars for years. Suddenly, an inmate stands in the
   middle of the room and yells, "41!" As he sits down, the room erupts in
   laughter. Then another prisoner stands and yells, "123!" Again, there is
   laughter throughout the room. Puzzled, Fred asks the inmate sitting next to
   him what's going on. "Well," the older inmate says, "Most of us have been
   here so long that we have heard all the jokes. So we just number them and
   use the number." Fred says, "I love to tell jokes! Give me one." "Okay,"
   says the older inmate. "Everybody loves old 72. It always gets a big laugh"
   Fred stands up, waits for the laughter to die down from the last joke, and
   yells, "72!" There is nothing but silence as hundreds of inmates just turn
   and stare at him. Fred sits down and looks at the inmate who gave him the
   number. "What happened?" he asks. The older man shrugs and says, "Some
   people just can't tell a joke."

The other version I heard is that another man gets up and softly says "107"
and everybody breaks up dying of laughter and can barely breathe. Fred asks
why Joke 107 went over so well and the older man says, "They haven't heard
that one before!"

For people who are interested, the IFC is having a Documentary Preservation
Summit in New York on April 1st (no fooling). You can read about it here
.
I'll be on the panel, CONFRONTING CLEARANCE & LEGAL ISSUES
​but the whole day has some really cool people and issues.

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.

[Videolib] National Theatre Live productions

[Matt Ball]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if the National Theatre Live productions are available on DVD 
or streaming?  I'm especially interested in The Curious Incident of the Dog in 
the Night-time.

Cheers,

Matt
