[Videolib] Alien Empire
Hi Everyone, I've just made a digitization request to the WGBH Open Vault for all segments of Alien Empire, a classic BBC production on insect life. Anyone care to join me in continuing to make this resource available? Go to http://openvault.wgbh.org/ Create a profile. Once your profile is created go back to http://openvault.wgbh.org/ and at the top of the page click on Series and then on Alien Empire. When you get to the record for Alien Empire click on the Programs tab. Then click on each of the three title segments in turn and select Digitization Request at the top of the page. We still have the VHS but it's starting to degrade. Thanks!

Here's our quandary: Our university library owns the series Nature Perfected: The Story of the Garden, made in 1995. It's a six-volume set on VHS and not available on DVD or in any other format, to the best of my knowledge. Two of our landscape architecture profs want to continue using these tapes, but the tapes are wearing out. We sought and received permission from the copyright owner, William Howard Adams, to transfer the content to DVD. He even asked us to send him copies on DVD, since he only owned his own series on videotape. Conversion went well for five of the six tapes, but volume 2 was already too worn and stretched-the DVD was useless, as it the tape. We purchased a replacement for the VHS of volume 2 only to discover that the tape is copy-protected-cannot be copied to DVD on any machine we own. There is a lab on campus that may be able to bypass the copy protection, but our Digital Scholarship librarian says No-overriding the protection is illegal. So I asked Mr Adams to send us his VHS tape of volume 2, in hopes that it could be copied (after all, copying our originals was easy-no protections in place on those). Turns out his VHS copy is ALSO copy-protected. It's ridiculous to be in the position of having to shop for a non-protected copy of a tape we already own, especially since our original copy did not present this problem. What's the quickest/easiest solution to obtaining a legal DVD of this volume in the series? Are we doing something obviously dumb and dense, that we haven't figured this out? In which case, please reply off-list! (Mr Adams will also be grateful, if he gets his own DVD copy out of our efforts.) TIA, Kathy Edwards Research Collection Development Librarian Emery A.

[Videolib] Peer review?
I guess it's a thoughtful Monday. Hoping to hear a lot of thoughts from all different players. With the increased use of videos in the classroom, I've been thinking about the vetting process for non-feature films. Feature films are often used to illustrate a point and we know they are not real so I am not including them in this discussion. Documentaries are assumed to be real, may also used to make a particular point, bring an issue to life, or they may substitute for academic readings and possibly lectures. The books and journals placed on reserve or used for classes are, for the most part, subject to the academy's peer review. Many (most?) of the films we use are not made by members of the academy. What sort of vetting process do they go through? Film reviews don't really serve the same purpose as peer reviews. If a picture is worth a thousand words than a video is worth several million, at least. Should we be paying more attention to Marshall McLuhan's idea that the medium is the message? When faculty or students view a documentary, Masterman (2010) might say that we are studying the representation of the subject in the documentary and not the subject content. The central unifying concept of Media Education is that of representation. The media mediate. They do not reflect but re-present the world. The media, that is, are symbolic sign systems that must be decoded. Without this principle, no media education is possible. From it, all else flows. (Masterman 1989). (For this and other discussion see Jolls Wison, (2014) The Core Concepts: Fundamental to Media Literacy Education Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Journal of Media Literacy Education, 6(2) 68-78.) * Who determines the nuances of the story that gets told through film? * Who decides what ends up on the cutting room floor? Who decides which stills, which excerpt from an interview is included or excluded? * What is the relationship of the producer/director/writer to the content of the film? * How do we know if it's the truth or the truth as one or a small group of people see it? * Does it matter if the other side of the story is not presented. What if there is no film for the other side and only scholarly reading is presented for that? * What is the effect on student learning/perception/retention of an issue explored on film vs. reading a scholarly work on the same issue? * What are we reacting to when we say this or that documentary is good? o Is it how good the account is, how well the accounting is told, or how accurately the accounting is told? * Should there be more context/explanation for who is behind the camera, why they are there, and what techniques they used to re-present the issue?

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

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.

Re: [Videolib] Netflix Streaming and Face-to-Face
Yes, I know. I waste a lot of time searching for titles or films by topic, too. Some time ago I suggested to this list that vendors make their catalogues searchable on the web. Even earlier I suggested a common marketplace site for video but nothing’s happened yet. Some are too afraid of competition and partly it’s a question of there are so many vendors selling films, there is no coordinated effort and no desire for it on their part. I always hoped NMM would pick up this ball and run with it. I think they would sell way more if we had a central video marketplace for documentaries. Maybe I should quit my job and make it happen. We need THE documentary website with options for individual pay per view, institutional pay per view, per course, per X time frame with embeddable links. Canistream.it is a good model. Vendors, get your stuff listed there!

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.

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.

Re: [Videolib] Video Streaming Options
One strategy is to shift the cost to students under the reasoning that they purchase books for required reading. In many cases individual access is quite inexpensive, $2.99 to $9.99 is what I have seen. This is feasible mostly for feature films where you can go to canistream.it and copy or embed the link to the film title's page. The linked page shows the viewer which vendors are offering the film, e.g. Amazon Instant Video, iTunes, GoogleView,etc., the cost and in what format, e.g. DVD, stream, download. It is not infallibly accurate but it is a helpful resource, especially for titles not covered by Swank or Criterion Pictures. If you have the in-house know-how you can do what we do and purchase streaming rights only for material needed for classes rather than purchasing access to a database not knowing which titles will be used. Other options are something like Films on Demand, Docuseek2 or New Day Digital where you can purchase a bundle of titles or individual titles and the films stream from the vendor's platform. Wherever you purchase you should try to obtain either life of file format or perpetual rights so you are not paying over and over again for the same content. This is an extension of the buy the new format logic we've been using with video for years. For example, many vendors offered discounts on DVD pricing if you had a copy of the VHS. You bought the new format and paid for it one time. As a library you often paid a higher price in recognition of the fact that multiple users will be viewing your copy.

Hi, Jo Ann Reynolds from UConn responding in all caps below.

I'm curious about how academic librarians are approaching collecting streaming video these days. Are you subscribing to, or purchasing collections e.g., from Films Media Group, or Filmmakers Library and other collections from Alexander St. Press, or Docuseek, or all of these and more? ALL OF THE ABOVE AND MORE. Or are you trying to deal with it on a shoestring? And if so, in what ways? WERE SPENDING ABOUT $50,000 PER YEAR, THIS YEAR BUDGET CUT TO $35,000. Have you noticed an uptick in the use of streaming video by faculty, esp. in relation to an increase in online courses? STREAMING VIDEO IS THE FASTEST GROWING FORMAT FOR COURSE RESERVE AT UCONN. Has your media budget increased, stayed the same, or decreased in recent years? BUDGET WAS THE SAME UNTIL THIS YEAR WHEN WE RECEIVED A $15,000 DECREASE. Do you think your faculty are satisfied with, not noticing, or unhappy with what your library is able to offer? WE THINK THEY ARE VERY SATISFIED BUT THEN, MOST OF THE INDIVIDUAL TITLES WE LICENSE ARE AT THEIR REQUEST FOR CLASS USE. Any responses, off-list or on, would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Videolib] Your reactions to streaming terms?

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. -deg deg farrelly ShareStream Administrator/Media Librarian Arizona State University Libraries Tempe, AZ 85287-1006 602.332.3103 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.

[Videolib] Question for Vendors
Finding the distributor of a film can be time consuming. I have a search pattern I follow depending on the type of film (feature, documentary, foreign) The search pattern include a Google search at some point but rarely do vendor holdings come up in that search. It would be a great service to us if your holdings were searchable on the web by title at least if not by subject or keyword.

Re: [Videolib] UCLA - AIME case opinions
Thanks, Judith. I didn't pursue emulating UCLA because of the legal standing issue of AIME, it didn't really give guidance on fair use. The appeal gives a tiny bit more, but still not enough, I think to follow suit. I am glad the streaming issue is getting some air time as I fear for the future of fair use in a world where everything is licensed and no one owns anything anymore. And that goes for e-anything - books, journals, videos. It's too bad we can't just buy whatever the new format is and own it and use it under copyright. First there was VHS and then we bought DVD's. Now streaming is the new format but we can't buy it for the most part only lease it. Keep those opinions coming.

True, the judge gave an opinion, but the grounds for dismissal actually had to do with the fact that AIME should not have been the plaintiff and the UCLA Board of Trustees should not have been named as the defendant. So the case can't be appealed and discussed in higher courts. To get a really good case, you would need a suit by all the members of AIME or by another big rightsholder, preferably against a non-state institution (so that the issue of sovereign immunity did not come up). http://blogs.library.duke.edu/scholcomm/2012/11/26/another-fair-use-victory-for-libraries/ The Georgia State case re. print media put on reserve was much better drawn up, where the publishers sued a state school but named defendants correctly, so that decision is more interesting. According to Georgia State, Ambrose might have won a suit against UCLA, because UCLA was streaming entire works which Ambrose was quite ready to license for streaming (thus tipping the amount-of-whole and effect-on-market-value factors strongly in Ambrose's favor). In the actual Georgia State case, the amounts were smaller and there was not always a quick and easy way to license them.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video question
No but the last time I checked with iTunes their license permits faculty to show the videos in class while the last time I checked on Amazon and Netflix licenses they could not stream them in their classroom. It might be an alternative for some films for faculty to use iTunes if you recheck the license.

Re: [Videolib] NOT videoŠ but new copyright case with Harvard School of Business
I don't know any more about this lawsuit but here is more info re Harvard's tight grip on its intellectual property. We used to get full text of Harvard Business Review (HBR) online via Business Source Premier (EBSCO Host). HBR has recently renegotiated the license agreement with EBSCO such that 500 of the most popular articles can only be read online. They cannot be downloaded, printed, or even linked to. For ~$40,000 more we can retain full access to those articles. The list of articles changes as new articles prove to be popular. I'd like to kick EBSCO where it hurts, in the pocketbook, and tell them to take their product elsewhere for negotiating such a license but I'm not in charge.

From: David Hansen dhan...@law.berkeley.edumailto:dhan...@law.berkeley.edu Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:47:23 -0400 I thought some of you might be interested in this lawsuit. I haven't seen it on the blogs anywhere yet - The gravamen on the complaint is that ISCE library has made unauthorized copies of the full text of plaintiff's works and has displayed/distributed them to ISCE members, who pay a fee for access (though it is dubbed a membership fee by ISCE) . In both the Plaintiffs' complaint and the Defendants' answer, it sounds as if there are some important access limitations: 1) the complaint acknowledges that only one person may access a work at a time, 2) in Defendants' answer, they claim that the full text can only be checked out for two hours at a time, and 3) the answer also claims that only two pages can be browsed at a time. This statement, I think, sums up what ISCE is trying to do The ISCE Library is the closest possible digital analogue to a traditional specialized research library - providing temporary and controlled access one borrower at a time to lawfully-purchased copies of works maintained at the library's leased physical premises at AWS - and with a unique digital reference librarian. (Answer at para 15). The case raises a number of significant issues about the applicability of library privileges (Sec. 108), fair use (Sec. 107), first sale (Sec. 109)., 110 (non-profit educational displays), and Sec. 117 (designed to facilitate necessary copying for computer programs). All are raised in the complaint or answer.

Our company Criterion Pictures represents Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight, Dreamworks as well as some smaller producers. Basically we represent who SWANK doesn't. We have created a netflix type solution for institutional use (communal screenings). All titles can be downloaded (for up to 24-48 hours) and/or streamed, titles are available in closed captioning, customers can be authenticated via IP address or username and password. System can be integrated with customers current front end if necessary. The platform is for the non-theatrical market and unlike netflix it is not consumer based.

Re: [Videolib] more about Criterion Pictures USA streaming
If they are giving us the MP4 then we are going to be streaming it on our server so I can't really see why they need such control over the format. We'd want to convert the MP4 to be consistent with the format of all the other films we've licensed and stream. Does the license agreement prohibit that? If they are going to stream on their server, we don't really care what format it's in. I'd also say, Never say never as one cannot predict the future.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video vendor guide
Hi Kim, A great idea and I have been haranguing vendors about an itunes like store where all videos and video streams can be listed. For a book there are places you can go and do a single search by title, even for songs it's easier, but video is like the Tower of Babal, hundreds (thousands?) of websites and no one place to search by title, subject, director, etc. Maybe they could use something like Summon to search all their respective databases. That way they can keep their independence and still be more discoverable.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video vendor guide
Thanks, Bob. This is a helpful start. I know having a central database is a big job but don’t you all want to sell more films and open up new markets? Hopefully the NMM decided that the lovely web page they created for market attendees should be open to the world and not just to attendees.

For a book there are places you can go and do a single search by title, even for songs it?s easier, but video is like the Tower of Babal, hundreds (thousands?) of websites and no one place to search by title, subject, director, etc. Maybe they could use something like Summon to search all their respective databases. That way they can keep their independence and still be more discoverable.

[Videolib] Streaming video vendor guide issue
Hi Everyone, I thought the vendors out there might like to hear our (the buyers) stories about how we go looking for films. It might help them to understand what we go through and that would hopefully help them better understand the need for a centralized place to search. So here I am, reserve services coordinator for a fairly large university. I used to put over 1000 books on reserve every year and now it's about 300. Instead of putting books on reserve I put links to full text articles, some 3000+; ebooks, small but growing as availability grows; and video, both DVD's and streams. Video is the second largest medium I put on reserve and is the fastest growing medium I put on reserve, about 1000+ per year. How do films get chosen to go on Reserve? Some faculty talk to other faculty and learn about them, others watch PBS or see a popular movie that will make the point they want to make, while others say to me, I need a film(s) on X topic, can you suggest any? So now I reach into my memory and might manage to retrieve one or two, I search the database of material I put on course reserve and see what other faculty are using and might come up with a few more. Beyond that, IF I have the time, I'm faced with a website to website search by vendor to see if I can find something they might be looking for. It's a cumbersome process and I tend to gravitate toward known vendors who've proven to provide quality films in the past and who have good search engines. I keep a list of those vendors in my media guide (see the Shop for Videos tab here: http://classguides.lib.uconn.edu/mediaresources ). By the time I've gone through some or all vendors on that list I'm done, no more time. So whether I've found anything or not I let the faculty member know. You might argue that there's a whole lot of filmmakers whose work is not represented here and you'd be right. The result is we both lose out on an opportunity. Think of Amazon where multiple vendors sell the same thing and make money. The benefits of having a unified database far outweigh the perception of customer loss via competition with other film vendors. I think if you continue on this same path you will be committing market suicide in the long run and you will sell less, not more, which means you message will reach fewer people. I invite other librarians to share how/why a unified search for video/streams would be useful to them.

[Videolib] Docuseek2
We are considering using Docuseek2 ( http://docuseek2.com ) when we renew our Icarus and Bullfrog video streams. This is a site where the streams are hosted rather than us encoding the streams ourselves. I would very much like to speak to academic libraries who have used this service. I'm interested in the answers to the following questions. You may post to the list or call me directly. Is the server reliable? How much down time have you had? What error messages have you received? Has it accommodated multiple/heavy simultaneous uses for any one individual stream? Is the service response prompt? How long does it take for a purchased stream to appear on the site after you initiate paperwork? Do you like the purchase online feature? Is it working for you? Are you able to get streams from any of the vendors which are not yet there added to the site? How long does it take? Does the page for viewing your licenses tell you what you need to know? Do your patrons like it? Do they find the site intuitive?, easy to use? What are some of the comments from your patrons? Is the metadata useful? How do you like the process for acquiring and uploading metadata? Have you found the usage report useful? How do you like the process for acquiring the reports? Can the reports be downloaded to Excel? Many thanks!

Re: [Videolib] Hulu and Netflix classrooom use-- follow up question
Hi Erika, Some ignore the suggestion but no one hits the roof. As you say $2.99 for a stream is far less than the cost of a textbook. Once they find out that the stream is not available they are happy to have another option. The suggestion at least gives them on option not to have to change their syllabus.. We can generally get the DVD so the suggestion has always been given in the context of being unable to acquire the stream but here are your options. Or maybe it's just the process of acquiring streams for faculty has endeared them to me.

Re: [Videolib] Films on Demand query sent on behalf of a colleague
Hi Irene, We've had FOD for a few years now. Our stream collection primarily supports classes so we buy only what we need. We haven't bought any collections. Faculty like it and students use it. Hard to say what percent. Their content is relevant to our needs here. We have not run into any problems streaming or authenticating. Our overall experience with FOD has been great, they have good customer service and are responsive to inquiries. They also provide metadata which you can load to your catalog making discovery more seamless and less dependent on alternative sources of discovery. I would not hesitate to recommend FOD to you.

Re: [Videolib] ACRL Best Practices
The discussion on this issue has been very interesting and thought provoking and I appreciate all the well thought out contributions. Perhaps we need to think about another way to go about providing film resources for classes. Think outside the box, especially for feature films. That's a discussion I'd like to see on this list or at NMM. As we do more and more media in support of classes I begin to think I have better things to do than copy a link to a resource that we've purchased into a course page or reserve system item. And with the volume we do I just don't have time to help everyone through the copyright maze. Maybe institutional subscriptions to sites such Netflix, Blockbuster, Amazon, and HuluPlus are part of the answer. Then faculty and students could browse and link to what they needed themselves and access could be limited by IP range. Because there would be high volume I'd expect it to be cheaper than purchasing individually. This is something that would probably have the best chance for success if it's a group effort demonstrating just how large the market is. It certainly bears examining some sort of pricing model for institutions. I can see both sides of this very interesting discussion, filmmakers can't continue without revenue and educational institutions don't have unlimited resources even though the demand for e-stuff is growing. A focus on developing an efficient and effective online delivery system that protects filmmakers and makes a wider variety and number of films available with a minimum of intervention is my ideal. How can we make an easily accessible online film library that doesn't break the bank or result in piracy?

I was hoping this code would provide more guidance in defining when Fair Use is in play in pedagogy. I feel that the Fair Use of feature films in instruction is FARILY clear cut. In my experience, outside of Film Studies, most faculty use fairly short portions of features films in a way that seems clearly transformative or illustrative. We've all seen examples of this at our universities. A Sociology of the Family course uses a scene from Big Love to illustrate nontraditional family structures. A clip from Triumph of the Will is compared with a clip from Star Wars of Darth Vader commanding imperial forces. Etc, etc , etc. This is not as straightforward when you start talking about the use of documentaries in online education, especially those with intrinsic instructional value. When a faculty member contacts me and wants to put an educational documentary online, 90% of the time they want the entire film up. In my gut, I feel that this is almost always something better covered by 110(2) and/or licensed for use, but this Fair Use code is so vague in this regard that I don't feel like I can provide instructors with useful information about the nature and the scope of fair use based on the information outlined here. Additionally, Michael Brewer just brought up the idea that 110(b) is essentially a way to take a physical classroom space and translate it into the online environment (within those limitations set by 110b). When I first began working with faculty who were moving their courses online it was fairly simple to distinguish between a core resource and an ancillary one (usually items previously assigned to Reserves or considered optional). However, faculty are now regularly creating online courses from scratch and are no longer tied to the concept that the core instructional materials is what can be cover in a 50 minute time span. This is not a bad thing but it makes applying 110(b) more and more difficult.
