Re: [Videolib] funding streaming media (in academic libraries)

2016-11-11 Thread Deg Farrelly
Friday

I believe the data collected in Jane Hutchison Surdi and my 2015 national 
survey (Academic Library Streaming Video Revisited) presents the most 
comprehensive picture of practices across all institution sizes and types.  
This was a follow-up to our similar 2013 survey.

Because attachments do not work in discussion lists I am sending you separately 
screen shots of our 2016 ALA Annual Conference presentation of our data.  But 
will summarize it here.

Question:  What is your Library’s primary funding source for streaming video  
(Comparison of 2013 and 2015 data, first )

Aggregated across all responses of libraries that stream video, N=210 responses
Response options with no responses eliminated

2015 response / 2013 response


The library does not fund streaming video   1.1%/
From a general acquisitions fund41.5%   /
Separate video acquisitions fund18.0%   /   49% 
Separate streaming video acquisitions fund  8.2%/   13.8%
Electronic resources fund   19.7%   /   7.1%
Distance Learning budget1.1%/
End of Year funds   0.5%/   
Technology fee  2.2%/
Other   7.7%/   14.3%


These figures suggest that streaming video acquisitions funding is normalizing, 
less funding from separate video lines, more integration of funding within 
general acquisitions or electronic resources funds


Filtering 2015 results by 2 year, Associate degree granting institutions on the 
same question, N=24 response  (2013 data not included)


From a general acquisitions fund25.0%
Separate video acquisitions fund16.7%
Separate streaming video acquisitions fund  4.2%
Electronic resources fund   41.7% 
Other   12.5%  


We also asked if institutional streaming video funding came from outside the 
Library.  Those responses from 2015 data

Aggregated, N=181 responses

Yes, Instead of Library funding 3.3%(N=6)
Yes, In addition to Library funding 18.8 %  (N=34)
No  77.9%   (N=141)



Same question, limited to Associate degree granting institutions

Aggregated, N=24 responses

Yes, Instead of Library funding 4.2%  (N=1)
Yes, In addition to Library funding 37.5% (N=9)
No  58.3%   (N=14)


So Associate degree institutions are more likely to receive streaming funding 
from outside the library….



Hope you find this information useful

September 1 marked my 40th anniversary as a professional media librarian.

August 8 marked my 25th anniversary at Arizona State University Libraries.

This seems as good a time as any to announce my retirement, effective December

I've enjoyed being part of this passionate and vocal cadre of film/video/media 
professionals and have learned much in this forum.

I'll still be around thru the rest if this year, I've 3 journal articles coming

I'm looking forward to seeing many of you at the National Media Market this

I generally prefer to hold on to the supplemental materials, even if never 
used…. Like Barb, we dust the cabinet every now and then.  But I consider them 
part of the bibliographic entity that has value for the occasional users….

And, if/when we withdraw a title, the supplemental material with it.

[Videolib] Publishing opportunity - collaboration opportunity

Here is an opportunity for publishing that could be a real benefit to the 
community.

There is a lack of information on workflow and collection development decisions 
for streaming video… A CLIPP publication could address these and other media 
issues.  Another example…. Digitization /licensing to support course 
reserves/instruction.

For your consideration.

Subject: CLIPP Publications Call for Proposals

The ACRL/CLS CLIPP (College Library Information on Policy and Practice)
Committee invites you to submit a preliminary proposal for its CLIPP
publication series. We welcome proposals on any topic that is relevant for
small and midsized academic libraries. The CLIPP series allows library staff
to share information on practices and procedures they have implemented to
address common issues or concerns. Each CLIPP follows a set structure of three
parts (literature review, survey results, and sample documents), and should
both describe library best practices and provide useful, specific examples
that libraries can refer to when developing similar policies and procedures of
their own.



Authors of a CLIPP publication are aided throughout by the CLIPP Committee and
an assigned editor. CLIPP authors receive 10% of the royalties on the net
revenues from their publication. For your reference, please find author
instructions and more information about the CLIPP program at
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bit.ly_2bjTTDP=CwIFaQ=AGbYxfJbXK67KfXyGqyv2Ejiz41FqQuZFk4A-1IxfAU=CbEnv8y9rDoyO9zsIVI1SIBnSElNztJcbFPewtU7UsI=FZRR3cXiXBKUwYPGS-yx3DzxQY13tSSIoaZ5tRJN29s=ByOie8RpoY1uIdWmnxufhxIrqlBvDdn9IjHcTCZG4uk=

CLIPP proposals are accepted throughout the year. The next Preliminary
Proposal Deadline is September 23, 2016. The CLIPP Committee will send out
notifications regarding this round of submissions by October 3, 2016.

Re: [Videolib] Surveys for Users of Library Video Collections?

Meghann 

All good questions.

I would start with looking at the Kaltura “State of Video in Education 2016” 

You might also want to talk to Elisabeth Leonard at SAGE who has conducted some 
research on user expectations.

In general, this is an area that is sadly lacking in the professional lit.

I think you might find focus groups more beneficial than surveys, unless you 
can get such a large response that the data is crunchable.

Re: [Videolib] So Long, VCR. We Hardly Knew You

2016-07-25 Thread Deg Farrelly
Chris Lewis, Jane Hutchison, and I have been working on a database of video 
titles for which we have conducted searches for duplication under Section 108.

We presented the project at ALA in Orlando last month, and will be presenting 
on the project at the National Media Market in October.

The database is openly available for others to view now.  
http://section108video.com

We envision this as a crowd-sourced database, and are looking for a couple 
participants to beta test.  Preferably we would like to invite in someone who 
has already conducted searches and would be willing to enter their data into 
the database, or someone who is ready to start and would use the database as 
their record keeping.

There are still a few details to be worked out on the db, so beta testers will 
really benefit the project.

If you are interested in participating please contact me directly (not on the 
list) and we will go from there.

Thank you.

Hello, Colleagues,

I would like to ask for a show of hands among members of this list. Please 
answer YES if your institution has a video streaming service that meets these 
three conditions:

a) you purchase videos individually as downloads;

b) you host the downloaded files on a server that is controlled locally (i.e., 
by the library itself or the parent institution);

c) you stream the content to end-users who authenticate themselves with a 
locally administered login/password system.

Please respond to me privately at:

There was much discussion of these hearings at the Kraemer Copyright Symposium. 
 It is believed that a key focus of the revisions will address mass

At a session yesterday, delivered by IP lawyers, the notion of the non-profit 
exemption for use of non-literary and music works was raised.

Quite honestly, this is one exemption I don't recall hearing about before.  
Sarah McClesky commented similarly.

Worth looking into furtherthis may be an exemption that allows student 
groups and other campus activities to screen documentary works without securing 
public performance rights!

Primary Research Group has published the Survey of Academic Library Video
Content Provision Practices, ISBN 978-157440-390-9

The study looks at how 31 academic libraries provide video content to
traditional and online classes and other academic and scholarly purposes.  The
study examines the use of traditional and streamed video, the digitization of
existing college video collections (commercial and proprietary), and use of
gratis video from YouTube and other sources. The report helps its end users to
answer questions such as: how much are libraries spending on streamed video?
Traditional video?  How many libraries are making use of video archives of
classes, lectures, special events and speakers and what are they doing with
this video?  What kind of licensing models are libraries using for streamed
video: pay per view, in perpetuity licensing? Fixed term?  What is the role of
consortia in purchasing? How happy are librarians and their patrons with the
video delivery infrastructure at their institutions?  How much are libraries
spending on licenses to convert their existing tradition video assets to
digital formats?

Just a few of the report’s many findings are that:

Institutions with less than 3,000 enrollment were most likely to say
infrastructure was underdeveloped (38%). Overall, the research institutions
were the most satisfied,

Most libraries (58%) felt they should spend more on streaming video in the
future, while a small number (6%) felt they should spend less.

Forty-eight per cent of respondents make available for educational purposes
video archives of events, programs or courses such as lectures or performances
given at the college, or tapes of college courses themselves. This was more
common among public institutions (62%) than private (20%).

21% of video content licenses were accounted for by flat fee in perpetuity
license. Community colleges did not report any flat fee, in perpetuity
licensing.

Data is broken out by size and type of institution, by tuition level and for
public and private colleges.

[Videolib] Use data for Films on Demand

2016-05-05 Thread Deg Farrelly
I pulled 2015 use data for ASU’s subscription to Films on Demand today.  I 
found the data to be very interesting so thought that readers of VideoLib might 
find it interesting too.

Our total use of Films on Demand for 2015 (Jan 1-Dec 31) was 811,196 views. 
That is roughly a 26% increase over our 2014 use of 642,949

Of the more than 25,000 titles in Films on Demand ASU used 6856 titles, or 
slightly more than 25% of what is available.  Of course much of that use is a 
“long tail”, titles that received only 1 or a couple uses.

But 2670 titles received more than 4 views, the customary trigger for PDA 
licensing.

If we had to license everything that was used more than 4 times in 2015 our 
total cost for Films on Demand would have been $400,500 !

Our cost for Films on Demand is far less than $.10 per view.

For the record, ASU Libraries conducted the first PDA model for streaming 
video, working with the incomparable Diane Bilelo.  That pilot project was 
documented in the journal article :

farrelly, d. (2008). Use-determined Streaming Video Acquisition: The Arizona 
Model for FMG On Demand. College & University Media Review, 14(1), 65-78.

It ultimately led to the development of the FoD subscription model.

To date, ASU has had 3,380,900+ views in Films On Demand.

I think (supposing here) that the idea is to float the idea of the technology.  
Applications for content and advertising could abound.

In the movie Minority Report Tom Cruise’s character is seen reading a newspaper

Who knows where such a technology could lead.

Interesting…tho your note may be the equivalent of including in an email “Let

Since this is a discussion list of librarians responsible for media, the 
audience for your question might better be Colllib or the ACQnet discussion

The research that Jane Hutchison Surdi and I conducted last spring shows that 
only 30% of academic libraries have a media librarian, so the subject 
librarian/acquisitions unit is most likely now the dominant model.  (Raw

Re: [Videolib] Native Son

2016-01-13 Thread Deg Farrelly
I wholeheartedly disagree.

There are 2 issues here:  obtaining a video to meet a faculty member's need and 
applying section 108 to make a copy of that video.

After diligently looking, it's been determined that the only sources for this 
video are used VHS.

If the library purchases a video for its collection, even if it is used, it is 
a legally acquired copy.  Most of us, I'd wager, have done that at some 
point

The law provides for the legal duplication of a legally acquired copy.

Since the video, now in the library's collection is VHS, and cannot be replaced 
with a new copy in any format, the library can apply Section 108 to make up to 
3 copies.

The argument is not that VHS is obsolete, but that the format is deteriorating.

The law does not require tracking down the copyright holder(s) and asking for 
permission.

Painting this question as a matter of librarians or faculty wanting everything 
is a broad overstatement.

Is this unusual?  Yes.  Is this a blatant attempt to cheat a system?  Hardly.

The law lays out specific protections for libraries and too many librarians for 
whatever purpose are too timid in asserting the rights that law has provided.

Jeremy,

It does!  But in terms of 108, is this information discoverable in a 
"reasonable" search?  (Note that 108 does not require an exhaustive search nor 
does it require tracking down the copyright holder)

How would a librarian discover this information?

Of course one of the reasonable search tactics is to post a question to 
VideoLib, and in this case the results are good.  But apart from that approach, 
would someone be otherwise able to find the necessary information for what I 
assume is a manufacture in demand process.

If a due diligence search for a replacement copy under Section  108 pf US 
copyright does not return a hard copy available for purchase, but instead only 
return a streaming copy, available only for term license

Can the library proceed with a copy made under provisions of Section 108.

"Pricey" is a relative term, of course.

But $680 for 4 films fir 3 years comes down to $170 per title for 3 years, or 
less than $60 per year per title.

That is significantly less than the $150 per year that Kanopy charges for term

[Videolib] An outrageous pricing model

2015-12-01 Thread Deg Farrelly
I received today a email from a video distributor with the following details 
for streaming their content:  (I am removed any reference to the distributor’s 
name

---
Giving students online access to (our) videos is as easy as 1-2-3.

1. Determine the video(s) you or your department will need for the year, how 
many students need to view, and whether learners will access the videos via our 
LMS or yours*.

2. Find your pricing on the chart below


# of Users


1st Video


Addt'l Videos


1-50


$395


$100 each


51-100


$595


$150 each


101-150


$895


$200 each


151-200


$1,100


$250 each


Call if you need pricing for more than 200 users.

For example, say your department needs to stream 3 videos for various courses 
to be offered throughout the year, and expects to need access for anywhere from 
80-100 students.
You would pick User Level 2 (51-100) and your price would be $895 ($595 for the 
first title, $150 each for the 2nd and 3rd titles.) This equates to $2.98 per 
student per video.
Note: This type of subscription would give you 100 logins; each login would 
have unlimited access to all three videos. (You would not have 100 logins for 
each video separately. For that type of usage, please ask us about 
"pay-per-view".)

3. Call or email us with your order! We'll quickly get you set up on our 
platform, or send you a file for each video chosen.

I wrote back to the vendor and gave them a blunt statement that this model is 
unacceptable, unscalable, and far out strips even the most expensive of 
streaming licenses out there.

What say the rest of you?  Did you receive the same “offer”?

Re: [Videolib] No more DVDs?

2015-11-09 Thread Deg Farrelly
Apologies for being late to this conversationŠ I have been traveling,
attending and presenting at the Charleston Conference, and presenting a
webinar on issues in streaming video for ALCTS on Wednesday.

I have been reading the responses to Jonathan¹s original question and
largely concur with the comments from several about streaming replacing
DVD only when there is a perpetual license for the digital file.  I
personally do not require that file to be on our own servers; but I am
very mindful that if hosting is provided by the distributor, we do not
have the protections provided by dark archives like Portico provides for
digital journals.

I personally have never understood the rationale for charging double the
price of a DVD for a streaming file, and certainly disagree with charging
the price of a DVD for only a term license.  Especially with the library
takes on the effort and expense of generating the digital file from a hard
copy, and/or hosting the file on their own servers.  This has always
struck me unfair price increases.

Arguments are made that the streaming version receives greater use and is
more flexible, but even some of that is debatable.  A DVD shown in class
(perhaps the only practical way to use a hard copy film) may be seen by 30
students simultaneously (plus or minus those who skip class or fall
asleep).  That the film is linked in a course shell is not indication that
the video is being seen by any more students in that class.  In fact it
may be seen less as data suggests that student viewing of a linked
streaming video has a very high drop-off rate and few students watch the
entire film.  Additionally, when we have to generate and host the digital
file ourselves, we frequently are unable to provide captioning, which
makes the stream LESS flexible than the DVD.

I appreciate the distributors that sell the streaming rights at the same
price as the DVD (even more so when they also provide a volume discount).
And I especially appreciate those who do do AND provide the digital file,
and the caption file as well.  I will purchase the DVD with the stream it
the two are packaged very reasonably.  I like the extra protection
afforded by our ownership of the physical artifact.

I will not, the extent that I am able, enter into term licenses for
individual titles, except in the rare circumstance that that is the only
way to obtain access to an essential title.

One of the key take-away points I picked up at the Charleston Conference
is the difference between term licensing individual titles (no matter what
approach is used) and in-perpetuity/Life of File licensing:

Term Licenses = Providing a Service, content when it is needed

In-Perpetuity = Collection Development

(Thank you to Michael Arthur at the University of Alabama for that insight.

I recognize that I represent a VERY large university with different
budgeting issues than other institutions, and that your mileage may vary.

Donahue

Law360, New York (September 14, 2015, 11:44 AM ET) -- The Ninth Circuit ruled 
Monday in a closely watched suit known as the “dancing baby case,” finding 
copyright owners must consider the fair use doctrine before sending Digital 
Millennium Copyright Act takedown notices to online hosts like YouTube.

Siding with Stephanie Lenz and rights group Electronic Frontier 
Foundation<https://www.law360.com/companies/electronic-frontier-foundation>, 
the appeals court said copyright owners like Universal Music 
Group<https://www.law360.com/companies/universal-music-group-inc> can only send 
takedown notices if they’ve come a good faith conclusion that the targeted 
upload is not a protected fair use of the copyrighted work.

If they have not, they can be held liable for damages under the DMCA's Section 
512(f) — a provision that bars improper use of the takedown procedure but has 
barely been enforced by the courts.

“Copyright holders cannot shirk their duty to consider — in good faith and 
prior to sending a takedown notification — whether allegedly infringing 
material constitutes fair use, a use which the DMCA plainly contemplates as 
authorized by the law,” the appeals court wrote. “That this step imposes 
responsibility on copyright holders is not a reason for us to reject it.”

Lenz sued in 2007 after UMG sent a takedown notice to YouTube over a 30-second 
clip she posted of her son dancing to Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy.” She claimed 
the video was legal fair use and that the label had thus violated Section 
512(f) in its takedown notice by knowingly misrepresenting the video was an 
unauthorized use of a copyrighted work.

The case was closely watched from both sides. Lenz and EFF said a win would 
provide a needed counterbalance to overly aggressive takedown notices from 
large media companies. Universal and other media firms, on the other hand, said 
the DMCA’s takedown system already overburdens them and the system can't 
function as designed if they're required to look into fair use each time they 
send a notice.

Though the court said Monday that companies like Universal need to consider 
fair use, it also noted that it was “mindful of pressing crush of voluminous 
infringing content that copyright holders face in a digital age” and that the 
process for checking for fair use “need not be searching or intensive.”

“We note, without passing judgment, that the implementation of computer 
algorithms appears to be a valid and good faith middle ground for processing a 
plethora of content while still meeting the DMCA’s requirements to somehow 
consider fair use,” the court wrote.

When a company doesn’t meet those requirements, the court said, an aggrieved 
party can pursue a claim that the copyright owner violated Section 512(f) by 
“knowingly misrepresenting” that it had a good faith belief that the work was 
infringing.

The court also ruled that a litigant like Lenz can recover nominal damages when 
such a claim is successful — another point of contention in the case. The panel 
left to a jury, however, the question of whether she actually deserved damages 
or attorneys fees.

“Today’s ruling sends a strong message that copyright law does not authorize 
thoughtless censorship of lawful speech,” said Corynne McSherry, the EFF's 
legal director who argued on

Re: [Videolib] Copyright question: American Playhouse Films

2015-08-18 Thread Deg Farrelly
I am going to take a contrarian point of view hereŠ..

Whether or not the video has been posted with the permission of the
copyright holder, the fact is that it has been posted on a publicly
available website, and is discoverable by anyone with moderate Internet
searching skills.

It is my opinion (I am ready for the slings and arrows) that the professor
could reasonably post a link to the YouTube-hosted file.  Such a link
should include information indicating that the legality of the stream is
uncertain and that there is no guarantee that it will continue to remain
available.

That is not the same as the Library cataloging it and making it accessible.

Questionable?  Yes.  ³Iffy²?  Yes.  But it¹s the public discoverability,
availability and accessibility that is the foundation of my opinion.

Re: [Videolib] noise canceling headphones in your library?

We do not loan noise canceling headphones, but we do hand out on request,
disposable ear plugs.

This started when the library was undergoing renovation, so we had buckets
of the plugs out for the public.  Now we just make them available.

No need to sanitize anything, they are all individually wrapped, in sets
of 2.

Widely availableŠ less than $.10 a set.

Also can be acquired in custom printed boxes for promotional use.

[Videolib] Happy Birthday copyright lawsuit has sudden new evidence

³Last minute evidence that completely turns a legal case on its head
doesn't come about all that often -- despite what you see in Hollywood
movies and TV shows. The discovery process in a lawsuit generally reveals
most of the evidence revealed to everyone pretty early on. And yet... in
the high profile lawsuit over the copyright status
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130613/11165823451/filmmaker-finally-a
ims-to-get-court-to-admit-that-happy-birthday-is-public-domain.shtml of
the song Happy Birthday, the plaintiffs Good Morning to You
Productions (who are making a documentary about the song and are arguing
that the song is in the public domain) have popped up with a last minute
filing, saying they have just come across evidence that the song is
absolutely in the public domain
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/happy-birthday-lawsuit-smoking-gu
n-811144?utm_source=dlvr.itutm_medium=twitter.

And, here's the real kicker: they discovered this bit of evidence after
two questionable things happened. (1) Warner/Chappell Music (who claims to
hold the copyright for the publishing, if it exists) suddenly found a
bunch of relevant documents that it was supposed to hand over in discovery
last year, but didn't until just a few weeks ago, and (2) a rather
important bit of information in one of those new documents was somewhat
bizarrely blurred out. This led the plaintiffs go searching for the
original, and discover that it undermines Warner Music's arguments, to the
point of showing that the company was almost certainly misleading the
court. Furthermore, it definitively shows that the work was and is in the
public domain. ³
 
This has been such an interesting example of how murky copyright can be,
even for things published before 1923 (which is our usual cutoff for
assuming things are in the public domain). This is a really important
copyright case for this reason, and it looks like we¹ll get more
information this week, since there was a hearing scheduled for tomorrow
(from

Re: [Videolib] Media Circulation Best Practices

2015-06-11 Thread Deg Farrelly
Lowell

Thanx for a great question.

At ASU Libraries the loan period for our videos (changed from 3 days many
years ago) is one week, no renewals.  This applies to all borrowers,
students, faculty, staff, and local community. IF a faculty member asks
for a longer loan period it is provided, provided there are no holds,
bookings, etc. on them.  And a patron may bring the videos back in and
borrow again, provided there are no holds or bookings on them.  Videos on
course reserve have different loan periods, 4 hours, overnight, one week,
etc.

I know that some libraries still do not allow students to borrow videos,
or allow videos out of the building, or allow only faculty to borrow, or,
or, or.

Might I suggest that you turn the question around and instead of asking if
loan periods should be extended, ask what is the rationale for having a
different loan period or a shorter loan period for media.  Do all media
need such a restriction?

I think video loan periods are a hold-over from the days when films, and
then videos, were expensive.  25 years ago the standard loan (or rental
for 16mm) was 3 daysŠ.. One day to pick it up/one day to show/one day to
return.   This is a legacy approach that may not hold up anymore.

There are workarounds for irreplaceable titles, titles needed for
instructionŠ. 

Why is an important question to ask.

The University of Richmond is currently searching for a Film/Cinematic Arts
Librarian. Please share with qualified candidates.

https://richmond.csod.com/ats/careersite/JobDetails.aspx?id=603

Film/Cinematic Arts Librarian - 500420

SUMMARY:

Provide leadership within the Library, working collaboratively across campus,
with the local community, and with national and international partners to
create and support traditional and cutting edge services designed to meet the
current and emergent needs of students, faculty, and staff. Work with all
faculty and students, the Film/Cinematic Arts Librarian will foster successful
adoption and application of research, teaching, and learning through film and
media. Serve as liaison to the University's Film Studies Program. Collaborate
with all faculty to select, manage and develop film collections to support this
area and other areas as assigned. The Film/Cinematic Arts Librarian will be a
change agent, partner, and resource person for all library staff involved in
facilitating faculty and student projects related to and incorporating film and
the cinematic arts and will be expected to conduct regular scans of the campus
environment to identify emerging areas of interest. Manage the University
Libraries film collections, both digital and analog, and recommend strategic
priorities for the physical and digital development of the film collection.
Ongoing contributions to the program's longstanding tradition of bringing film
and video artists as well as scholars of film and media to campus is integral
to the position, as will be programming screenings and organizing special
events.

Professional librarians hold faculty status. Faculty status allows both voice
and vote in University faculty meetings, eligibility to serve on faculty
committees, to serve as a student advisor, and to participate in the Program
for Enhancing Teaching Effectiveness (PETE); and it acknowledges that those
individuals play an active role in the intellectual activities of the
University. Faculty status does not carry with it eligibility for tenure or
sabbatical, nor does it automatically carry with it faculty rank (Professor,
Associate, Assistant Professor, or Instructor), since faculty rank is in a
specific academic department, nor does it carry eligibility for other benefits
normally assigned to full-time teaching faculty.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  *   Create instructional resources and tutorials, provide instruction, and
offer research and consultation appointments to students in liaison areas and
to other members of the campus and community as required, using pedagogical
best practices and current instructional technologies.
  *   Coordinate the selecting, ordering, promoting, and presentation of
programs in the International Film Series, ChinaFest and African Film Weekend.
Provide public introductions for selected films.
  *   Collaborate with liaisons and appropriate divisions within the library to
create, coordinate and manage best practices for film, audio and image
collection maintenance, growth and preservation.
  *   Create and maintain research guides and web content that demonstrates
knowledge and understanding of critical information literacy practices for
students and faculty in liaison areas.
  *   Maintain knowledge of the legal landscape and licensing for digital media
especially in the area of streaming and performance rights. Participate in
university wide development and implementation of policies related to digital
rights management, copyright and intellectual property standards.
  *   Conduct environmental scans of all campus departments in order to
identify current and emerging scholarly projects, areas of inquiry, and
pedagogical trends related to film and media studies. Align resources as
appropriate to support these departments.
  *   Supervise and evaluate Media Scheduling Manager/Student Assistant
Supervisor.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  *   Specialized knowledge of film history and digital media.
  *   Experience representing a library to external stakeholders and engaging
in consortia and community projects or programs.
  *   Strong leadership skills, including keen analytical and conceptual
abilities and demonstrated ability to lead organizational change, inspire
innovation, and delegate responsibility appropriately.
  *   Strong interpersonal and public communication skills including ability to
serve as an advocate and spokesperson for the University of Richmond libraries.
  *   Demonstrated engagement in reference and instructional services, user
experience, and assessment of services.
  *   Evidence of implementation of emerging trends in higher education in the
areas of reference, instruction, access, assessment

the world, bringing you an astounding range of moving image art!





CURRENT PROGRAM

The Feminist Origins:
Video Data Bank’s On Art and Artists Interview Collection

VDB TV launches with a program devoted to the feminist origins of VDB’s 
historical On Art and Artists interview collection.

[https://gallery.mailchimp.com/b98f4d33871d6bcbe25c8dea3/images/7f59c70f-0318-4340-8510-8980df063d49.jpg]http://vdb.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b98f4d33871d6bcbe25c8dea3id=779c75b47fe=11640007f2

In April 1974, Video Data Bank co-founders Lyn Blumenthal and Kate Horsfield 
conducted their first taped interview, an in-depth conversation with art 
historian and curator Marcia Tucker. During the remainder of that year, 
Blumenthal and Horsfield interviewed four more notable art world women: Lucy 
Lippard, Agnes Martin, Joan Mitchell, and Ree Morton. Seen together, these five 
interviews mark a seminal moment in the history of 20th Century art, a moment 
in which women artists were increasingly being asked to define and position 
their practice within the growing feminist movement. In this program, each 
interviewee personally defines her experience as an artist, and discusses the 
influence of feminism on her own life.



Keep coming back to VDB TV for more exciting programming! Upcoming highlights 
include a radical selection from the Videofreex Archive, and an exciting 
program of contemporary video art works curated by Brooklyn Rail film editors 
Rachael A. Rakes and Leo Goldsmith.



NEA SUPPORT

In conjunction with the launch of VDB TV, we are pleased to announce that Video 
Data Bank has been awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to 
support the project.
VDB Executive Director Abina Manning says, “All of us at VDB are thrilled to be 
recipients of an NEA award for VDB TV. We’ve long desired to make more of the 
collection available to the general public, but only while also ensuring that 
included artists’ are fairly compensated for their work. NEA support is finally 
allowing us to fulfill that goal, and we’re excited to create some amazing 
programming for audiences interested in moving image art!”

I suspect that the issue of accessibility, particularly captioning and/or

Next week Jane Hutchison and I will launch a revised version of our survey
on streaming video in academic libraries.

The revised survey includes a new section on captioning in streaming
videos.  Just as our 2013 survey established baseline data on streaming
video in general, we hope this new survey will do the same on
captioning/subtitle data.

We will post an invitation to complete the surge with a link to the survey

Danette, by an odd coincidence, I just got a call from a person this
afternoon whose neighbor badly scratched one of the discs of our PHANTOM
OF
THE OPERA that went out-of-print about six years ago. He was so sad, I
found one in the closet and sent it off to him for free.

In most cases, when someone has bought an institutional video from us
(doesn't matter how long ago) and it's damaged, we almost always just
charge the home video price of $20 to $25 for a replacement and it's
usually a much better master by then.

So good things can actually happen if you call the rights holder. The
worst
that can happen is the rights holder wants to charge you $500 which
actually confirms that you can make a copy of your video.

I gotta say, your scholarly communications officer has a skewed version of
many rights holders.

[Videolib] Bushmen ad nauseum

2015-03-16 Thread Deg Farrelly
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.

Re: [Videolib] Bushmen of the Kalahari

2015-03-16 Thread Deg Farrelly

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.

[Videolib] To retain VHS or Not

2015-01-27 Thread Deg Farrelly
I agree with Chris on this matter.

When replacing within Section 108, I think it is wise to retain the
original analog copy.  If there is roomŠ to do so.  In our case, we also
take it out of circulationŠ it is an archive copy.

Remember that copyright allows 3 digital copies within Section 108.  In my
opinion, those ideally should be:  A high rez master file, a DVD version,
and a streaming file.

At present, our in-house capability is limited to producing a medium
quality copy.  Playable, but not ideal.  Outsource companies can do
better.  Once we have an idea of the volume of content that is eligible
for Section 108 preservation, the production of high quality archival
masters and useful copies would make a great National Endowment for the
Humanities projectŠ and something that could lead possibly to the video
equivalent of Portico.

[Videolib] Forsberg's research on VHS deterioration published

2014-12-03 Thread Deg Farrelly
Apologies for cross-posting

From my perspective, exciting news…. Walter Forsberg and Erik Piil's research 
on VHS tape deterioration has been published!

Forsberg along with Howard Besser presented on his research at the 2013 
National Media Market in the session Video at Risk:  Strategies for Preserving 
Commercial Video Collections in Research Libraries. But now the research in 
all it's fine detail is available.

Since deterioration is one of the factors that libraries can use to invoke 
duplication provisions of Section 108 of copyright law, this research is a 
critical addition to the professional literature.


Citation:

Forsberg, W.  Piil, E.  (2014).  Tune in, turn on, drop out.  In S. Hastings 
(Ed.) Annual Review of Cultural Heritage
 Informatics (pp.213-242).  Lanham:  Rowman  Littlefield Publishers.

Abstract from the publication:

Analog videotape, an imperfect moving image technology format since its 
introduction, is reaching the end of its life cycle. However, large quantities 
of out-of-print and irreplaceable VHS titles still comprise significant 
portions of library and archival collections and circulations. Given the need 
to preserve this content, this study investigates the use of the dropout; 
metric (counts of disruptions in the video signal) for determining whether 
libraries and archives can invoke their rights of reproduc- tion under the 
United States Copyright Act. Videotape technology and deterioration problems 
are explained and prior deterioration studies are reviewed. Dropout tests of 
four pairs of commercially produced VHS titles are conducted and relationships 
between videotape deterioration as measured by dropout counts, circulation 
statistics, and manufacturing quality control standards are evaluated. Offering 
noninvasive evidence of videotape deterioration, quantified dropout counts 
appear to provide libraries and archives with an objective measure to meet the 
vague deterioration; standard of the Copyright Act.

Subject: New Hope for Early Grooved Audio - IRENE Audio Preservation at NEDCC
Now Available

NEW HOPE FOR EARLY AUDIO:
IRENE Audio Preservation now available at NEDCC!
The new IRENE Audio Preservation service at the nonprofit Northeast Document
Conservation Center (NEDCC) is the culmination of a decade of research and
development at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Library of
Congress.

The IRENE technology uses a non-contact approach, which eliminates the
possibility of damage caused by mechanical contact of a stylus on fragile
media. The process creates ultra-high resolution images of the audio groove
structures in either 2D or 3D, and the resulting image files are then processed
through software that translates them into an audio file.

NEDCC CURRENTLY WORKS WITH THE FOLLOWING FORMATS:
Wax cylinders, lacquer discs (acetate discs), aluminum transcription discs,
shellac discs, tin foils, and other rare formats (e.g., Dictabelt,
Voice-O-Graph, etc.), and can handle rare, fragile, or damaged media.

[Videolib] DVD Circulation figures

2014-10-22 Thread Deg Farrelly
I recently saw this statement in a video distributor's promotional literature 
that took me for surprise:

on average more than ~45% of DVDs acquired by the libraries are checked out 
less than 4 times over the course of their lifetime

That seemed remarkably inaccurate to me.  So decided to check our own data for 
comparison.  To test I looked at the data for DVDs added to the ASU Libraries 
collections before July 1, 2009.  So the N in the data means that the DVDs have 
been available at minimum 5 years.

ASU Libraries has 2 major video collections.  Use data breaks down as follows:

Collection 1
3283 DVDs
# borrowed 5 times or more:  2710
% borrowed 5 times or more:  82.5 %

Collection 2
2997 DVDs
# borrowed 5 times or more: 1904
% borrowed 5 times or more:  63.5 %

Aggregated
6280  DVDs
# circulated 5 times or more:  4614
% borrowed 5 times or more:  73.5 %


Related data:

Average number of loans per item:
Collection 1:  27
Collection 2:  14
Aggregated:  21


And I toss in here the data for DVDs never borrowed… for comparison to the same 
data for monographs in college/university libraries that show a non-circ rate 
of 40-60%

Number of DVDs / Percentage NEVER borrowed
Collection 1:  170 / 5.2%
Collection 2:  287 / 9.6%
Aggregated:  457 / 7.3%


The original statement was not cited so I don't know where the source of the 
data.  It is possible that it reflects a closed collection in which only 
faculty are allowed to borrow videos, or the videos can be used only in the 
Library/library classroom….  OR it is possible that the collection from which 
the base data was collected is a collection that does not match the 
curriculum/interest/ or need of the faculty/students.

As I indicated in the start of the message, the statement surprised me…. How 
might my data and/or the quoted figure compare to your experiences.

The law does NOT say a PHYSICAL classroom, nor WITH THE INSTRUCTOR PRESENT.

When in doubt, read the law:


Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106 
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/106, the following are not 
infringements of copyright:
(1) performance or display of a work by instructors or pupils in the course of 
face-to-face teaching activities of a nonprofit educational institution, in a 
classroom or similar place devoted to instruction, unless, in the case of a 
motion picture or other audiovisual work, the performance, or the display of 
individual images, is given by means of a copy that was not lawfully made under 
this title, and that the person responsible for the performance knew or had 
reason to believe was not lawfully made;
(2) except with respect to a work produced or marketed primarily for 
performance or display as part of mediated instructional activities transmitted 
via digital networks, or a performance or display that is given by means of a 
copy or phonorecord that is not lawfully made and acquired under this title, 
and the transmitting government body or accredited nonprofit educational 
institution knew or had reason to believe was not lawfully made and acquired, 
the performance of a nondramatic literary or musical work or reasonable and 
limited portions of any other work, or display of a work in an amount 
comparable to that which is typically displayed in the course of a live 
classroom session, by or in the course of a transmission, if—(A) the 
performance or display is made by, at the direction of, or under the actual 
supervision of an instructor as an integral part of a class session offered as 
a regular part of the systematic mediated instructional activities of a 
governmental body or an accredited nonprofit educational institution;
(B) the performance or display is directly related and of material assistance 
to the teaching content of the transmission;
(C) the transmission is made solely for, and, to the extent technologically 
feasible, the reception of such transmission is limited to—(i) students 
officially enrolled in the course for which the transmission is made; or
(ii) officers or employees of governmental bodies as a part of their official 
duties or employment; and

(D) the transmitting body or institution—(i) institutes policies regarding 
copyright, provides informational materials to faculty, students, and relevant 
staff members that accurately describe, and promote compliance with, the laws 
of the United States relating to copyright, and provides notice to students 
that materials used in connection with the course may be subject to copyright 
protection; and
(ii) in the case of digital transmissions—(I) applies technological measures 
that reasonably prevent—(aa) retention of the work in accessible form by 
recipients of the transmission from the transmitting body or institution for 
longer than the class session; and
(bb) unauthorized further dissemination of the work in accessible form by such 
recipients to others; and

(II) does not engage in conduct that could reasonably be expected to interfere 
with technological measures used by copyright owners to prevent such retention 
or unauthorized further dissemination;


I have highlighted in bold portions of the law, but that may not transfer to 
the list.  So let me repeat a few key phrases here – with some additional 
comment

In a classroom or similar place devoted to instruction – Given that 
instruction now routinely occurs online, in LMS shells, and asynchronously it 
could well be argued that online is a similar place devoted to instruction

at the direction of, or under the actual supervision of an instructor as an 
integral part of a class session offered as a regular part of the systematic 
mediated instructional activities - This is not a requirement that the 
professor be present, but that the professor supervises or directs the 
activity.  And of course, the rest of it….

in an amount comparable to that which is typically displayed in the course of 
a live classroom session  -  Live classroom sessions would typically include 
an entire work, thus it would appear that an entire work can be used.


The law ALSO makes frequent reference to digital networks and transmission 
--- an indication that the use of Blackboard and other tools for streaming are 
included in Section 110.

September 11, 2014, 6:19 AM - European libraries may digitize books
and make them available at electronic reading points without first
gaining consent of the copyright holder, the highest European Union
court ruled Thursday.

The right of libraries to communicate, by dedicated terminals, the
works they hold in their collections would risk being rendered largely
meaningless, or indeed ineffective, if they did not have an ancillary
right to digitize the works in question, the court said.

Even if the rights holder offers a library the possibility of
licensing his works on appropriate terms, the library can use the
exception to publish works on electronic terminals, the court ruled.
Otherwise, the library could not realize its core mission or promote
the public interest in promoting research and private study, it said.

However, libraries cannot permit visitors to use the terminals to
print out the works or store them on a USB stick, the CJEU said. By
doing so, the visitor reproduces the work by making a new copy. This
copying is not covered by the exception, particularly since the copies
are made by individuals and not by the library itself, it said.

[Videolib] Your reactions to streaming terms?

2014-08-07 Thread Deg Farrelly
I know what I have already said (to our licensing agent to pass along to the 
filmmaker).  But I am curious as to my professional colleagues' take on these 
terms to stream an independent self-distributed documentary film.

I am not interested in launching a discussion on the cost of producing a 
documentary film, etc.   I put this out only to address the licensing terms.


The licensing agreement for the streaming rights are limited to in-class 
viewing of the film by the professor teaching the film and their students, or 
by faculty who are considering teaching the film in other courses.

Technical Note: All uploads to the server must be performed in the 4x3 aspect 
ratio NOT wide-screen 16x9. Any ratio other than 4x3 will be considered 
alteration of the film.
Rates:

2-year streaming = $259 for institutions that already have the DVD
$518 for institutions that do not have the DVD, and therefore need a DVD to 
perform the secure upload.

Permanent classroom streaming rights are available at a flat fee of 4x the 
institutional DVD rate, which is $1,036. For institutions that already have the 
DVD, that is discounted to 3x the institutional rate, which is $777.00.

Use of the film for online and long-distance teaching requires an additional 
$100 fee for the 2-year rate; if permanent classroom streaming rights are 
purchased it is a one-time $100 fee.


To show my hand, I have recommended that we walk away and not license the video.

Subject: [Videolib] OFF TOPIC QUESTION


Hi Folks,

This has nothing to do with films and video.  It?s a library organization 
question.

My library has re-org?ed yet again and my ?team? is trying to come up with a 
title that succinctly describes the following activities that occur within:  
Acquisitions, Cataloging, Metadata, Physical Processing, Binding and 
Conservation.  Generically this would be called Technical Processing Unit but 
it?s not sexy enough and the fear is that people would get it confused with IT. 
 I suggested Physical Processing Services but the catalogers in the group don?t 
like ?processing? in the title.  The head of this unit is fond of acronyms?this 
unit was previously called RATs (Resources Access Team)  Whatever we come up 
with will end up in ?Services? rather than Unit or Department or Team as its 
designation (ex. Financial Services)

My own thought on this is: Acquisitions  Processing, Cataloging  Metadata 
Services--AP  CM Services for short--but it is a mouthful. I?ve also thought 
of CAMP, i.e. Cataloging, Acquisitions, Metadata  Processing, but I think the 
powers that be would prefer ?Cataloging  Metadata? grouped together as they 
are related.

So guys, have a field day with this?if you come up with something catchy I?ll 
pass the suggestion along.

Re: [Videolib] Copyright Searches for videotape

2014-07-24 Thread Deg Farrelly
I am late to this now lengthy conversation, in which many others have already 
participated.  But permit me to make several statements of fact, not opinion, 
related to the issue at hand.

First and foremost, in response to Karen's original question and subject line.  
 Contrary to what others on this list may claim, by US Copyright Law, Section 
108, a copyright search is NOT required in order duplicate a title in a 
library's video collection.  What * is * required is a * reasonable search * 
for a * new * copy at a * reasonable * price.
(in other words, due diligence).

A VHS tape, for which a NEW VHS copy is available, does not meet the 
requirements of the law.
 
Other conditions must be met.  The original item in the library must be a 
legally acquired copy, it must meet one of these conditions:  lost, damaged, 
stolen, deteriorating, or in an obsolete format.
 
Read the law here:  http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#108

The law does not define the term reasonable.  The law does define obsolete:

For purposes of this subsection, a format shall be considered obsolete if the 
machine or device necessary to render perceptible a work stored in that format 
is no longer 
manufactured or is no longer reasonably available in the commercial 
marketplace.

By the terms of the law, VHS is therefore, not an obsolete format.  

It can be argued, however, based on the detailed research conducted my Walter 
Forsberg for the Video at Risk Project (and reported at a National Media 
Market session November 4, 2013) that VHS is a * deteriorating * format.  (I 
understand that a peer reviewed article on Walter's research is forthcoming 
later this year.)  

Also note that the law permits making three (3) copies of the item being 
duplicated.  

And while some argue that a copy made within the terms of Section 108 may not 
leave the library, the law also includes a clause that states that NOTHING in 
the law trumps rights under Section 107 (commonly called Fair Use). 

(f) Nothing in this section--... (4) in any way affects the right of fair use 
as provided by section 107... 

 Thus a library can argue that it is fair use for a copy made within Section 
108 provisions, of a video legally acquired for use in classrooms or general 
circulation outside the library, to continued to be used in this manner. 

I am not going to engage in a back and forth p%ssing match with others on 
this list on these points...

Subject: [Videolib] Copyright searches for videotape

Dear colleagues:
The University at Albany, SUNY, is in the process of weeding VHS materials held 
in our general collection, all of which was commercially produced. Regarding 
those titles for which a more current format is not available we will need to 
obtain copyright clearance before we consider reformatting.
We are wondering if there are other educational institutions that have worked 
through a project such as this that have video copyright searching 
documentation tools or data that they would be willing to share to assist us.
Thank you in advance for your input and advice.
Best,
Karen E.K. Brown

ASU Libraries does both.  

We load records for all the titles, plus we provide a direct link into the FoD 
interface from a link on the libraries homepage (http://lib.asu.edu) under a 
section of most used resources.

I also maintain a Libguide that lists all of our licensed streaming video 
products and provides information on openly accessible collections on the 
Internet, and options for feature films:

For those of you who license the Master Academic Collection from FMG, do you 
dump all of the MARC into your catalog or provide access through the FMG 
catalog?  Or both?

Looking for legal copy of the documentary Sidewalk by Barry Alexander Brown, 
bases on the book by Mitchell Duneier.

It is available on YouTube, but I would like to acquire a copy for the

Any leads?
