Re: [Videolib] License Restriction?

[John Streepy]

I¹ve been out of the game for a while, but if I remember correctly, the
face to face teaching rule applies.  All movies usually come with a
warning at the start that says home use only but they can be shown in an
official class setting.

Re: [Videolib] Tricky fair use question regarding streaming video databases

[John Streepy]

This may be an instance where contract law may out weigh your fair use rights.  
I would say you have to check with the contract regarding the licensed 
database, and look for any prohibitive language.  If your university signed a 
contract to get access to the database, that will trump the fair use rights of 
the person making the documentary. 
my two cents backed up only from what i have gleaned from following the list 
serve.

This is a theoretical scenario at this point though will happen if the 
University Counsel can be convinced the proposed event is protected under Fair 
Use and doesn't violate other laws such as the DMCA.


The question is whether a short clip from a licensed database can be downloaded 
and used in a documentary if it favors the four Fair Use factors?


The database in question is the Television News Archive though the question 
could be applied to others as well.


My thought is that if a streamed video can be downloaded then it would have to 
be limited to private use and nothing more including Fair Use. But honestly I 
have no confidence in that stance.

For me the issue is discovery.  How do faculty members learn that we
*have* access to a particular streamed film if it’s not hosted at a
known site?  IOW, if someone wants to look at what we’ve got available
from Swank’s Digital Campus, they can just go log in there and peruse
the available content.  Same thing with MEF’s streamed titles we’ve
signed on for * they can go to the Kanopy site or even find them in our
OPAC, since, because MEF uses IP recognition and not login, we’ve added
them there.   


  


But for individual files housed on the institution’s own server, how do
people find out they’re there? 


  


Clearly, we’re new to this mechanism.

  If there is an obvious answer, I’d be happy to hear it.

Re: [Videolib] dvd labelling

[John Streepy]

Pre printed Disc shields are an option, especially if you opt for the
kind with the imbedded 3M strips for security.  The cover the entire art
side of the disc so you do not have to worry about throwing the disc off
balance, and in this case can serve three functions: Security from
theft, IDing your discs as the ones you checked out, and providing
protection to the delicate art layer of the DVD.  In my old position we
used these for the entire collection.  Even if you did not have the
preprinting, if your entire collection has been covered by disc shields,
it is unlikely that some one else would also disc shield a dummy disc to
return.regards,

   Dear List
 
  
 We are interested in safeguarding our DVD collection more effectively.
We have noticed that some of our DVD’s have been dubiously returned by
patrons as the authenticated copy that we loaned them. In these few
instances we were unfortunately unable to definitively prove to the
contrary.
 
 It has been suggested that we purchase some type of label to be placed
on the DVD directly so that it indicates ownership by Queens College. I
think this would be an excellent measure as long as it does not
compromise the integrity of the DVD in anyway. Since I am unaware of the
most appropriate type of labels we should acquire, I was wondering if
this list could help us out.
   
 
  Thank you very much for your help.

when I click register, it denies me access saying that Library card 'Not

just though it was kind of funny, and thought I would share.  It does

I suspect that the lack of focus on media services in campus tours is as
much an issue of the * library's * focus on what matters.

It is well known that historically libraries have treated media as 2nd
class citizens (the red-haired stepchild as I call it).  Collections get
short shrift in budget, in cataloging, in building placement, as
resources
for research, in access (closed-stacks, anyone?)

Libraries often have a say in how they are covered in tours, and provide
talking points.  If the media collection is not covered on the tour or
interview process, it often is because the library has not highlighted
it.

Same with Dennis' comment about university presidents and funding.  The
funding is there, but libraries don't put it towards media needs*. Again
because that $5000 towards media titles in one time purchase is not as
important as that $5000 a year science journal.

Re: [Videolib] UCLA has announced NewsScape an online archive of newscasts since 2005 from around the world

not get the whole newsbroadcast but a portion and thus have section 3 also

Chris Lewis
***

Yes, newscasts are less protected than other copyrighted works. Creative works 
have more protection than statements of fact (or even purported statements of 
fact). This is the second of the 4 factors for fair use.

the purpose and character of your use
the nature of the copyrighted work
the amount and substantiality of the portion taken, and
the effect of the use upon the potential market.

UCLA has factor 1 in its favor (educational), factor 2 somewhat in its favor, 
factor 4 in its favor (there is, so far as I know, no market whatsoever for old 
newscasts). I guess they felt that they could go for broke on the third factor.

Also, if this provides text searches it adds a new functionality 
(transformative platform)  to the originals, and the HathiTrust case (where a 
judge approved of posting the results of searches of as much digital text as 
the universities could manage, irrespective of factor 2) would support that.

Re: [Videolib] need film suggestions

[John Streepy]

There are so many choices: 

Sports -- I'd go with Miracle because it is a good film and it also covered 
huge popular culture moment. 
Advertising -- I can not think of any beyond the ones mentioned by Elizabeth. 
Popular Music -- For pure cheese factor but it did highlight a time in our 
history Thank God It's Friday  It may be disco, but remember, those who do 
not learn about the past are doomed to repeat it. 
Technology -- I can't think of the title, but there was a movie with Greg 
Kinear who played a person who came up with windshield wiper technology that 
was supposed to be pretty good.   
Movies -- Singin' in the rain; the entrenchment of the studio system with the 
dawn of the talkies.  A fantastic movie to boot.

Dear CW,

As the beginning of the semester looms, I have received this question (below).  
Would love to hear your suggestions.  I think she's looking for feature films.

Thanks!!

I am teaching a course whose theme is American Popular Culture-- Advertising, 
Television, Popular Music, Technology, Sports and Movies. If you could suggest 
1 popular/notable film related to each of these themes I would really 
appreciate it---I like to enhance my syllabus with films correlated to the 
themes of the course for the more visual learners.

and want to also include care tips for media.  Do any of you have
anything like this that you give to patrons already?  Or can you suggest

 ghand...@library.berkeley.edu 4/2/2012 8:17 AM 
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls

It is with a mix of melancholy, ebullience, slight trepidation, and vast
relief that I announce my forthcoming retirement from the University of
California Berkeley and the Media Resources Center on June 28, 2012.
Today marks my 33rd anniversary with the University, and this year my
36th
as a librarian (a fact which seems more than a little surreal to me). 
I’ve been director of the Media Center for about 28 of those years, and
there hasn’t been week, good or bad, that has gone by without my
murmuring
a little thanks for the cosmic hiccups that allowed me to stumble into
such a cool and personally rewarding gig.   I simply cannot think of
anywhere that I would have been happier professionally, or another
position in which I would have grown and learned and contributed as
much.

In some sense, I feel a bit like Mark Twain, who was born during the
fiery
appearance of Halley’s Comet, and who went out with its reappearance, 74
years later.  I began my career in media in the early 80s, at the dawn
of
the home video age (or the “Video Revolution” as it was often
hyperbolically called in the library literature at the time).  I’m
bowing
out of the business at a time when the technologies and economics of
video
production and distribution, and the video content universe itself are
again in a state of radical flux.  Along with these changes, video
collections and service in libraries are also bound to experience major
tremors and evolutionary shifts.  I’m not sure whether I’m leaving the
scene feeling sanguine or pessimistic about this future, but in any case
it’s definitely going to be an interesting and challenging next decade.

I am going to miss all my long-time professional pals profoundly, both
those on the library side and the distributor side of the fence.  I grew
up with a number of you in this field, and along the way you’ve become a
kind of extended workaday family, complete with the obstreperous
get-togethers, occasional bickering, and comforting sympathy.  I’m also
heartened by the number of young, creative, and energetic colleagues who
have hopped on board in more recent times.  Definitely makes me less
gloomy about prospects for the future.

Not sure exactly what I’m going to do next:  I’d like to continue
teaching
film somewhere on campus or off; I’m up for grabs as a consultant; want
to
write a bit; gotta catch up on all the national cinemas I’ve given
short-shrift to over the years; want to log in more gym time; would like
to hone my banjo and ukulele-playing chops; want to get back to
freelance
cartooning and illustration.  At very least, I’m aiming at becoming an
accomplished and well-known Berkeley flâneur and café personality.

As for the fate of the UC Berkeley Media Resources Center*  In light of
the dire economic straits into which UC has been shoved, it is almost
completely unlikely that my position will be filled any time soon.  The
future of the redoubtable MRC collection and website remains murky, at
best.  I can’t really think about all of this too much; it’s just too
damn
depressing to ponder, and I’ve got other things on my mind. In other
words, après moi, le deluge, and there’s not a damn thing I can do about
it.

For the time being, Gisele Tanasse (MLIS), crack MRC Operations Czarina,
will look after the shop.  She has also graciously agreed to keep an
administrative eye on videolib and videonews.  (Note, however, that
she’s
going out on maternity leave from May until around the end of September,
so you’re pretty much on your own during that hiatus.  Play nice!). 
Gisele’s email is gtana...@library.berkeley.edu.  I’ll be around and
wrapping things up for the next few months.  My civilian email address
after June is going to be garyhand...@gmail.com and I’m also on
Facebook.
I’d love to stay in touch (but please don’t contact me about anything
having to do with copyright or fair use).

Best of luck for the future, comrades!  Continue fighting the good
fight.
It really has been an honor and a delight working with you all.
Salud!

Re: [Videolib] Up for grabs

It has to be directed by Zach Braff so it can have an indie cred slacker 
soundtrack, and he can be cast as a slacker facilities manager that gives 
advice to the a-v librarian, who in turn gets killed in an 'accident' set up by 
a mysterious secret society on campus ran by the school administrator, but not 
before giving Ryan a seemingly pointless clue that in the end helps Mara's 
character find the storage she needs.

Gary, 


I'm almost tempted just to prove it can be done! I imagine Ryan Gosling as the 
intrepid audio-visual librarian who discovers the lost VHS of a 1960s schlock 
icon that unlocks the key (don't ask how, but in Hollywood, EVERYTHING unlocks 
a key, which is a backward statement, come to think of it) to a mysterious 
treasure of lost 16mm films including the complete original Troma cut of Surf 
Nazis Must Die. The nation rejoices (actually, 95% of them are apathetic about 
it while the other 20% don't care) while the school administrator (Jeremy 
Irons) plots to throw out those rusty cans of crap. Ryan's assistant, played 
by Mara Rooney, must help him find storage on campus that the administrator can 
never find while in a desperate race to catalog the reels. But she has a secret 
in her past that comes back and threatens the very existence of the metadata... 



Okay, who's in for a million?

Re: [Videolib] Segments of a DVD

[John Streepy]

Just my two cents, but I don't even think point one is actually against you 
either. It is my belief that point 1 means if you will be using the clips for 
direct profit.  Yes, your institution is for profit, but the clips in and of 
themselves are not being used to create a product (like a new movie etc) that 
will be profited from, but just being shown to students, it is in essence 
footnotes for the professors lecture. So 2 of 4 points (34) clearly in your 
favor, one point (1) can easily be argued in your favor, and the fourth (2) 
just doesn't seem enough to warrant not using the clips.  I say use them.

I still think it is fair use, although on somewhat less firm ground than
if you had been in a non-profit. (Points 3 and 4 of Section 107 are in
your favor, I think).  If you ask the studio for permission, they will
most certainly say no...and my guess is that buying those permissions
for segments is going to be very difficult.

Gary Handman


 Seems the consensus on here is that this is fair use:

 I work for a for-profit college so classroom exceptions do not apply.  I
 have a professor who wants to screen the feature Thank You for Smoking
 in
 a classroom setting however he will not be screening the entire film.  He
 will be choosing 5-6 snippets of the film (5 minutes long).  Do I need to
 secure viewing rights for this?

 I've just been instructed by my Director that there are no exceptions for
 for-profit institutions and that I will need to get PPR for the film.
 What
 she wrote:

 Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the
 reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as
 criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
 Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining
 whether or not a particular use is fair:
  1.The purpose and character of the use, including whether such
 use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational
 purposes
  2.The nature of the copyrighted work
  3.The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation
 to the copyrighted work as a whole
  4.The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value
 of, the copyrighted work

 Still think it's fair use?

long-shot chance that he's working on the Cooper archives and they would have

Re: [Videolib] Plea from a Media Collection Decimation Zone

I'd actually be MORE concerned for VHS collections than DVD...  Our
studies here at UCB indicate that as much as 40% of our vhs collection
(around 25K titles) is no longer available for replacement in ANY
format.

gary handman




 We moved our DVD collection from closed stacks requiring retrieval to
a
 strategy where we put the cases on open stacks in alphabetical order
by
 title divided into 7 broad genres, but keep the DVD separated from the
 cases behind the desk.  (The genres are Features, Childrens,
Documentary,
 Performing Arts, Instructional, Television Series, and Foreign.)  The
 patrons can browse the collection, bring the cases to the desk, the
disk
 is
 retrieved, inserted into the case and checked out to the patron.

 We did not put any markings on the clear cases we keep the disks in. 
The
 DVDs themselves have an accession number on a donut label on the disk,
 (accession number is a hold over from our closed collection).  So
since
 the
 disks are in clear cases, we can see through to the label and we
didn't
 need to have a one to one match between clear cases and disks.  We
 reordered the DVD cases in alphabetical order, but keep the disks in
 accession number order.  It also helps us manage the space where we
hold
 the DVDs and allowed us to move through the process of getting the
DVDs
 from a closed collection to an open stacks collection much more
quickly.

 I can sympathize with the abrupt nature of the decision and would be
 concerned at the decision to keep DVDs unprotected in the cases on the
 shelf.  I agree that there is little worry over the VHS collection,
but
 those DVDs will disappear quickly.  The worst part of the acceptance
of
 shrinkage in my view isn't even the theft,  (because we all know
that
 happens), but that you won't know that a particular disk is missing
until
 someone else wants it...setting you up for failure because another
patron
 will already be disappointed.  Recognizing that sometimes that
 disappointed
 patron will be a faculty member who needs it in class, might give you
some
 leverage.

 Four thousand DVDs won't take up that much space.  Ask for the clear
cases
 to shelve them behind the desk.  Put the DVD cases, and only the
cases, on
 open stacks and let students browse.  We have had nothing but positive
 feedback since making our collection browse-able.  The patrons are
 thrilled
 and they are discovering so many titles they didn't know we had.  I am
a
 strong proponent of having the collection open, but protecting the
 collection is equally important.   Feel free to contact me off list if
you
 want more strategy.

 Good luck!

 Media Collections Colleagues,

 ** **

 I send this out at least in part as a plea for support * moral
support
 at
 the very least.  Last week from out of the blue my library director
 announced that we were to move our media collection (about 4000 VHS
 videos
 and DVDs) from the media room (with closed stacks) downstairs to open
 stacks around the circulation desk.  Although some of the titles
known
 to
 be heavily used by faculty for teaching are to be put “behind the
desk”
 in
 a limited teaching collection,  most of the titles are to be placed
in
 an
 “outer ring” of shelving around the circulation desk open to patrons
and
 the public.  

 ** **

 Though we had been told that we would be investigating and planning
for
 such a potential move sometime in the new year, this directive came
 without
 warning and certainly without any significant planning or
forethought.
 The titles are to be put on open shelving.  There are no locked cases
 involved and none of the titles are tattle-taped.   In the media room
 patrons had to check-out titles even if they wanted to view them in
the
 media room.  We could

Not just literature, history is going that same route.   Drives me nuts,
you are getting a history degree, why don't you, I don't know, do some
research.  According the the article Film Studies students at UCSB take
14 units of theory versus 4 units of production, cart before the horse,
that is just wrong.  I'm not saying Theory is wrong or should not be
taught, but man oh man that is just out of whack, and they don't think
it is wrong.  Stuff like this has to be what will eventually destroy the

The sad thing is that you can feed a Shakespeare sonnet or a Hemingway
novel into the same claptrap machine and it will reach exactly the same
conclusions as if you feed  it any film from Godard to John Hughes. The
machine was originally designed to chew up anything branded as
literature and spit it out as garbage, and it works the same for film.

Dennis, 


I always forget that you went here!  I wonder who your prof was?  You
know, I like the theory stuff and I think it has its place, but wow,
some theorists are really intense.  I agree the gaze is a real thing and
Mulvey has a place, but sometimes I feel like I’m trying to understand
particle physics.  Btw, we have faculty that give those innocents first
years Kristeva and Mulvey!  Wow, I’d probably be working at Wendy’s now
if that happened to me.

All, 


I’m collecting ‘odd’ holiday films or films that are good for the

Christian, no offense to the Christians out there in movie land.

We all know of the librarian scene in Its a Wonderful Life where Mary
is doomed to be the librarian because of her spinsterhood since George
was never born.

How about movies with librarian archetypes.

I can think of Marianne the Librarian in Music Man.
Katherine Hepburn in Desk Set.

Re: [Videolib] What do you call video?

My wish is that there was an even broader term that was quick to say that 
covered both projected images (either film or video based) or screen images

A quick survey of students at hand, from undergrad (senior) through

video means any moving image on a screen.  The younger ones do indeed

I'm sorry about being so slow to reply. I think it's good to have a
protocol when it's under current discussion on Videolib and there's
likely to be some overlapping activity. If history's any guide though
the likelihood of overlapping editors at other times is practically
nil so it probably isn't necessary to announce one's activity on an
ongoing basis.

 Hi Gary,

 I've been working on some charts to go along with the list using my
 favorite
 screen scraper. It's a mostly automated process so there are some
errors
 at
 the moment but I could see this being a very useful resource in years
to
 come * especially when the in X years everything will be streaming
 debate
 crops up from time to time.

 Here's a quick sample of what I have so far:


https://my.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?domain=VHS-Onlyquery=Year+Distribution+Chart
(
https://my.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?domain=VHS-Onlyquery=Year+Distribution+Chart
)

 The list is still missing many dates but the hump through the 40s
and
 50s
 seems pretty clear.


https://my.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?query=Top+Directorsdomain=VHS-Only
(
https://my.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?query=Top+Directorsdomain=VHS-Only
)

 I'm noticing some duplicate entries and other errors on that link but
 it'll
 be easy to clean up later * if everyone could stick to the same
citation
 format while they're doing edits that will make this process much
easier
 :)

 Eventually I'll figure our a way to fill in the missing date and
director
 fields using the same site. Oh, and I should mention that if anyone
wants
 to
 export this data and take a look at their collection it's really easy
to
 do
 in Needlebase. Here's a link to an Excel friendly CSV file:

https://my.needlebase.com/actions/api/V2Visualizer.do?domain=VHS-Onlyrender=Excelquery=Title
(
https://my.needlebase.com/actions/api/V2Visualizer.do?domain=VHS-Onlyrender=Excelquery=Title
)

 Please err on the side of caution when you're using this data * work
in
 progress!

 never been released on DVD?  If so, could you pls publish the list.
  Merci!

 Chris, do you indeed have such a list?

 I wonder if some enterprising media librarian(s) should compile a
 master list of these titles in a format that can be accessed by anyone
 on this listserv so that it can be updated when anything changes, and
 list members notified?  Or has this idea already been floated and shot
 down?

 Cheers,

 Matt

 Hey Gary,

 Do you have a link to your list of VHS ONLY titles??  We've embarked
 on a VHS -- DVD project here too.

 Thanks!

 Hi

 No updates on this end.

 It may go without saying, but...I'd definitely focus on non-fiction
 film first (maybe exclusively).

 When approaching feature (i.e. non-fiction), start with foreign
 language films first.

 There are certain distributors that are no longer in business:

  Films Incorporated
  Time-Life Film and Video
  Coronet Films (mostly)
  Carousel Films
  CRM Films
  National Latino Communications Center (NLCC)  Drift Distribution
 International Film Bureau  International Media Resource Exchange
 (IMRE)

 University of California Center for Media and Independent Learning
 (note:
  some titles in this catalog are still distributed by Berkeley Media
 LLC)

 matthew.wri...@unlv.edu 8/16/2011 3:23 PM 
We have a number of old (very old, in some cases) films (often VHS) that when 
we purchased them came with public performance rights.  I have proof of this 
from the catalogs/orders/receipts saved from that time period.  Most just say, 
includes public performance rights which is about all their web sites say 
even today.  I am referring to vendors like New Day, Filmmakers Library, Women 
Make Movies, Icarus, Bullfrog, etc.  

I have been trying to convert some of our old VHS Tapes to DVD where the film 
is popular and if we have money to do so.  In a few cases, the vendor we 
purchased the tape from no longer has the rights or no longer sells the film 
(in any format).  I am wondering if we still have public performance rights to 
these films?

If a vendor says, includes public performance rights does that ever expire 
(when an expiration date is not provided, like ABC News, which lists an 
expiration date)?  Can I still show these films as part of a campus film 
festival?  

Thanks,
Matthew

Re: [Videolib] Fascinating Copyright situation

[John Streepy]

or if this goes to trial and the case goes against the record companies, do we 
see an all out blitz of remastered greatest hits packages as the record 
companies try to make as much money off the stuff before it belongs to the 
artists, thus denying the artist much of a market.  Because as I read this, 
2013 is the earliest the first batch of artists can get a hold of their stuff.  
I can see the record companies going out of their way to scorch the earth and 
cover it in lye if this goes against them.  So on one hand it will be great 
that these artists will have some of the fruits of their labors, but they ain't 
gonna make any money off 'em for the foreseeable future.

 Brown, Roger rbr...@oid.ucla.edu 8/15/2011 1:31 PM 
One part of this discussion is whether the music rights really belong
with the recording artists.  Work for hire and numerous authors create
a difficult legal tangle.

Another part of this discussion, which Jessica alluded to, and which is
more interesting culturally, is what the artists will do with the music
once they get it - market it differently, sell it on their sites, let it
be downloaded, rewrite contracts with labels to distribute?

Record companies have been behind the curve on digital distribution for
the last 20 years - they failed to figure out how to deliver to a new
digital native population) - and had contentious relationships with
their artists.  Now that their business model is eroded, this development
may change that although they will kick and scream.

The anime example is regarded as true.  Companies did not release anime in
US and a thriving (and passionate) audience traded dupes, fansubs and
fandubs at conventions and online until their number could not be ignored,
and it is now a $4 billion industry. Not everyone steals everything always.

What this story really foretells, with music rights further fragmented
away from music labels, is the final nail in their coffin.  They can't
even release remastered greatest hits anymore.

I have seen this before and frankly it is simply poppycock to use a nice
word. I know my nephew and whole generation of college age kids NEVER pay
for a song or movie. I have never illegally downloaded anything, I have
also
never bought anything via download so hardly works re the stats used
here. I
often hear that same claim to justify illegal movie downloads. Someone
here
posted a study claiming Animee in particular was making money because
people
who downloaded illegally later bought it , which I simply find absurd. I
know people who download illegal stuff ( like my nephew ) and  buy
nothing.
I know people who pay for downloads. I don't know anyone who downloaded a
film illegally and THEN decided to buy it. This is fake argument used to
defend theft. So basically if I steal a few dozen cars but actually by one
this is OK and good for the car business?

[Videolib] Goodbye, Thank You, and Amen ...

Hello All, 

as I alluded to earlier this summer, my media department is closing and with 
great sadness I am now overseeing its last days as well as the mop up of ten 
years of operations and the dispersal of functions to different library 
departments.   

I want to thank Gary, Jessica, Dennis, Deg, and any one else I can not think of 
right now for all of your help and wisdom.  I may not have been much of a 
professional when I began, but I listened and read what you all had to say on 
this list, and it made for an fantastic education and I could not have asked 
for better guides than the collected wisdom.

I do not know about the other two, but the Dennehy version of DOAS was
not available the last time I looked a couple years ago.  I was told
then that it was a one off and it would probably never be released. 
Hopefully that has changed because I heard it was an excellent version

[Videolib] Question

[John Streepy]

Hello all, 
Sadly this is the summer of my discontent and I have to essentially shut my 
department down in the name of streamlining services and fiscal whatevers.  All 
I know is my department is on the chopping block and I have to help move the 
collection to the circulation department.  The head of circ is brainstorming 
and on of the things she brought up is making the collection browsable.  We 
lack the funding to make the collection secure, so the thought is to go the 
empty case on the shelf and DVD kept behind a counter.  So I am asking those 
libraries that have this kind of model, how are you storing your DVDs?  Do you 
have them in sleeves, and if so how are they stored?  Any help you can provide 
would be nice.   
thanks

Our copy of At the Death House Door (ISBN 1-56580-849-5) stops about 20 minutes 
into the program and goes back to the menu.  If you start the movie from the

new copy which did  the EXACT same thing. I am wondering if this happened to 
any one else?  If it did, and you kept the DVD, how did you label the container 
to make sure people knew how to access the material?  Thanks in advance and 
hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.

 ghand...@library.berkeley.edu 5/17/2011 9:41 AM 
Hi All

It's a weirdly rainy Tuesday here, and I'm listless...so I thought I'd
share an amusing (for me)flash of cinematic illumination I had recently.

I've been a juror for the New York Film Festival for the past 10 or 12
years.  Up until the last few years, I was just a name on the masthead
(not wanting to shell out for a trip to NY each Fall).  Recently, however,
the judging has gone online...a really fun thing to do.  Somehow I got
slotted in a strange mishmash jury category:  ads, PSAs, tourism and
industrial promos, industrial films, and the odd doc.

Here's where the illumination comes in:  The group I've judged over the
past few years has included a number of ESPN documentaries.  Now I gotta
tell you:  you could search high and low, far and wide on this planet and
not find anyone LESS interested in or informed about sports than I. (I've
been at UCB for close to 34 years and have never attended a game and I
just learned recently that the San Jose Sharks are a hockey team)...does
that tell you something?) Nonetheless, I watched.

Well, I was blown away.  Some of these films were made by big names:
Muhammad and Larry by Al Maysles;  The Band That Wouldn't Die, by
Barry Levinson; Kings Ransom:, by Peter Berg; The Lost Son of Havana by
the Farrelly Brothers; No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson, by
Steve James.  Others made by folks I haven't heard of.  In all cases, I
was absolutely enthralled by the high drama and skillful
storytelling...really amazing stuff.  Which just goes to show that in
competent hands, almost anything that goes on in the world can be revealed
to be worth filming and watching.

The good news is that I just discovered that most of the stuff I watched
(and more) is available on home video DVD: ESPN Films: 30 for 30.

Check it out.

[Videolib] Streaming Question

Hello all, 
I am 99.9% positive I gave a faculty member the correct response to his request 
but I thought I would verify with the CW of this august body.   

The professor is teaching an entirely online course and wants to stream a few

[Videolib] Re: Library CD sampler project‏

[John Streepy]

Just to make this into a discussion (something for a shortened week),
would Reno's idea have more of a leg to stand on if it was changed to a
recorded review of newly acquired music (or to make this more relevant
to this list movies) instead of a sampler?  The snippets would still be
there but he would have to offer opinions on the media, or information
on the media.  Just wondering what others thought; or what else might
have to be added to the project to make it work within the law. 
Sometimes it seems we are so wrapped up in findng out if something is
within or not within the law, that trying to find out how to make the
project work within the law gets lost.

Hi Reno and welcome to the list

Unfortunately, I don't think your project would have any legal--i.e.
fair
use--leg to stand on whatsoever, snippit or not...  It's one thing to
extract a limited number of short clips for use in educational or
scholarly contexts; it's another thing altogether to regularly compile
and
distribute such clips to the public at large.  Your project sounds
interesting, but I think it would put you and your library on very thin
ice.

Gary Handman





 Hi there,


 Greetings everyone, my name is Reno, and I am a
 media librarian at the Port Washington Public Library in NY.  This is
my
 first post, so thanks much for letting me participate in your forum.
 Below is a question about a music sampler CD project
 that I am working on*..since this list is entitled “Videolib”, I hope
that
 I am not too far off the general subject**if so, you can let me know,
no
 hard
 feelings.


 I was wondering if anyone might have some
 feedback on the following issue: I’d like to create and offer a
bi-monthly
 music sampler CD that would contain ten songs * all by different
artists *
 to
 expose our patrons to our newly acquired music.  I am planning to
offer
 these sampler discs for loan on the honor system here at the Port
Library.
   Currently, I am researching the possible implications of doing so,
 specifically whether or not any legal issues would arise.  Someone I
spoke
 to suspects that one of the major sticking points” would be the
 reproduction
 of a work (song) in its entirety without royalties being addressed.
   He then suggested a possible compromise * instead of entire songs,
 I could offer snippets of songs (30 to 60 seconds perhaps).  Any idea
 whether the copyright laws would permit the “snippets”?  Any
suggestions
 on what my next steps should be? (i.e., speak with library’s legal
 counsel*etc.)



 Many thanks,

 Reno Bracchi

Re: [Videolib] WB Archive

[John Streepy]

Why do you not go through some one like Action media.  Explain the situation to 
them, pay them with a PO and have them just bundle the tax into the price they 
quote you.  You are not paying TAX then you are merely paying a purchaser the 
cost of the item.  That way you do not have to wait until some one else adds a 
title into their database.  Just send Action a fax with the items you want them 
to order from WB.
good luck,

Re: [Videolib] Public Domain for sale???

I think it is a problem because, yes the item is in the public domain, but what 
ever wrapper Internet Archives has put on the item is not.  I assume Prelinger 
has put a Cretive Commons License on their additions, but they probably forbid 
commericalization of their product.  Because the stream lists Prelinger 
Archives in the URL a downloader could think that by purchasing it at Films 
they are supporting the Internet archives when they may not be.  My two cents.

Well PD films have been available in VHS and DVD for a long time and we all 
keep buying them. Why?  Because it's too much trouble for many of us to make a 
dub and have it on hand when it goes missing.

Yeah, streaming PD titles can be a bit different.  Prelinger films are always 
there (in theory) freely available to stream at archive.org.  I guess I just 
look at it as a convenience that FMG is selling.  No, I would not buy FMGs 
stream knowing that it was freely available legally elsewhere.

Companies have been selling PD titles for a long time what difference does it 
make what format it is in?

On the other hand you can look at it as a company taking advantage of someone 
that may not have knowledge that a title is available for free legally 
elsewhere.

I think this is kind of what I'm getting at. When libraries buy
something, they have the right to turn around and lend it. But since
libraries are not buying DVDs from Netflix, they don't inherit the right
to then lend them. It's because it's a difference can o' worms that, I'm
thinking, makes it illegal. As with the situation with software:
Software companies also routinely attempt to avoid the first sale
doctrine by characterizing their transaction with the purchaser as a

 One thing that comes to mind for me that hasn't come up in any of this
 discussion (which makes me wonder if I'm off base) is the issue of the
 first sale doctrine, which is what allows libraries to lend all that
we
 lend. Borrowing dvds from Netflix would not confer this right,
correct?
 Thereby making it rather clearly illegal.

 Am I thinking up the wrong tree (to butcher a metaphor)?

At your institutions, is DVD and Video selection the responsibility of subject

Re: [Videolib] Do your institutions have video studios in their library/libraries?

[John Streepy]

We have a dedicated iMac with Final Cut Express and iMovie available.  We also 
have an old Legacy microphone amp to provide voice over ability, and I want to 
expand the abilities as I find other equipment to augment what we have.  I want 
to have a spot for kids who are not in Film Studies can have access to create 
projects.  We also have several iMacs in our library that have iMovie and we 
will lend them cables to hook up cameras if necessary so they can use those to 
edit as well.  No actual shooting studio, but I would love to create such a 
room.

 Randal Baier  09/10/10 10:53 AM 
I'm interested in knowing how many of you have video production studios in your 
libraries. Either live recording facilities or editing/post production 
facilities. 

Could you please give me some idea of the kinds of projects you work on, what 
you interaction is with campus faculty and a general idea of the mission? 

We *do* have such a studio; it needs some upgrading but it is a nice facility. 
But we are reviewing it's overall purpose given recent directions in media 
making, and I'd like to get some comparative information from other colleagues 
about their sites. 

Even if some of you do not have a studio but have some opinions about the role 
of libraries in producing video/electronic media -- I'd like to get your input. 
Feel free to reply here if you think it is of group interest or reply to me off 
list and I can summarize later.

Re: [Videolib] posing a question

[John Streepy]

Marti, 
we use a full overlay, however not the type that is for security.  We
use them to prevent scratches on the art layer which could effect
playback.  They are handy for that, they also help stiffen the DVD up
making it less likely they will break when coming off the spindle.  I
can not address their success or failure as a security device as we do
not have the kind with the metal strips, but after 7 years of use, they
do hold up well.  The key is application.  Once they go on, they really
want to stay.  Having a procedure in place is a good way to make sure
you avoid problems with mis-application.  I have applied every single
overlay, but that was over several years, I would not want to do 1600 in
a short time span.

Hope this helps

We are investigating new circulation and security systems for Berkeley
Public. (High circ, large collection dvds and cds)  One option for the
dvds and cds is the full overlay.  That is, it covers the whole disc. 
There are two types, a “Sting Ray” or an “X-Range.”  All vendors appear
to use either one. 


My questions*Do any of your libraries use these?  Are they effective? 
Are there problems?   


  


We formerly used the “donuts” on the discs, and they were not that
great.  Got stuck in some players, bubbled up, etc.  We are curious
about this new technology.

[Videolib] A DVD Question

[John Streepy]

Hello all 

I have a quick question.  I am trying to figure out if I have a misprinted disc 
or if what I have is supposed to be that way.  Recently my library purchased 
All That Jazz the Special Music Edition.  There was no art on the disc, it 
looked like a flipper disc, except there is no information ring.  Does anyone 
out there have this specific version of All That Jazz and could tell be if 
there is in fact art on top, or if it is supposed to look like what I have?

Re: [Videolib] New copyright rules re: DMCA exemptions are finallyannounced

Could it not be interpreted that a student in another discipline making a video 
for a class project will also have this protection under the second and third 
sections?  Students could argue that a class project in history or some other 
field of study creating a video is either a documentary film or a noncommercial 
video, or am I just reading too much in.  This is great news.

 Linda Tadic lindata...@optonline.net 7/26/2010 10:52 AM 

The new rules allow circumvention for the incorporation of short portions of 
motion pictures into new works for the purpose of criticism or comment in 
three instances: 

  

(i) Educational uses by college and university professors and by college and 
university film and media studies students; [I assume this means a professor in 
any discipline, but if a student does it they must be in film/media studies 
programs, not history, languages, etc.] 
(ii) Documentary filmmaking;
(iii) Noncommercial videos 

I interpret these last two exclusions to mean the DVDs can be circumvented in 
order to obtain the excerpts for criticism or comment, but doesn't say this 
is part of Fair Use. In other words, the method of obtaining the clip is now OK 
(circumvention), but it doesn't say that the content doesn't need to be 
licensed. What do others think?

Re: [Videolib] FW: UltraViolet -- opinions?

[John Streepy]

After looking at this Ultraviolet, one impact I can see is that if we as a 
library buy something physical by one of the partners in this UV group, then we 
also have access to a digital copy that we can play on a digital devise, so, it 
can in fact double the usable copies in the collection, if a student has a 
video checked out, we can offer to some one else who wants to watch it via a 
device in the library that digital copy.  Have a few iPads (If Apple ever signs 
on) or some similar device to check out.  It could be helpful in the case of 
high demand items.

 Sorry, Rick, that did sound harsh, I suppose.  I guess I just think that
 it tends to work better for teachers/professors when specific needs are
 met with specific titles, rather than when an institution or consortium
 buys a huge catalog of ready-made stuff that they're then told they should
 pick from.  I'm sorry if that sounds snobbish.

with the legendary Sandy Berman (http://www.sanfordberman.org/), talking
about his impassioned battles with LC’s cataloguing department, to make
classifications more user-friendly. The name of that progam? 

  

“For Fucking, See Librarian.” I advertised the hell out of it. The bulk

supportive and caring professors * with slightly bent senses of humor.

I was at the Univ of Iowa when they were granted accreditation by ALA.
It was an exciting time and we all (33 in my class) felt like pioneers.
For their visit, we created a slide-tape production about a field trip
we voluntarily took to Chicago over spring break that year, visiting
various libraries, including some reading and study centers in the
public housing projects. I believe Peggy Sullivan helped host us as she
was friends with one of our professors. We selected music for the show,
including Our house is very very fine house, with two cats in the
yard... backing up images of library lions. It was a project embraced
by all of us, including the faculty. They used it to show off for a few
years. We were accredited and never looked back. I think we promoted
ourselves as professional but with a good sense of humor and did not
take ourselves too seriously. I still try to do that.

A little off topic, but in academia have you noticed that IT departments can 
unilaterally make decisions and do what ever they want, no questions asked, 
ever, no matter what the impact.  But if the Library makes a decision, all 
faculty (whether or not the decision impacts them or not) go into conniption 
mode and act like the Librarians are complete morons rather than information 
professionals.  I know a vast generalization, but how many have been impacted

Beth,

I cannot believe in an academic or educational setting, that technology
staff are not educated in the ways of copyright! It boggles my mind. But
then, quite a few things do...

We went through a similar experience back in 2000 when our IT department
decided not to mess with this any longer and gave our library every 8mm,
16mm, beta, umatic, and vhs copy they had. (Then stopped supplying
viewing equipment to classrooms). Guess who got the task of sorting this
mess out?

I will give our IT department credit, they have come up to speed over
the last decade and know they cannot convert anything from a
library-owned title when it is brought in by a faculty, staff, or
student without our library's permission. What is done with personal
items, I don't know.

Maybe it's late in the day, and my office is 82 degrees and rising, and
I can't even open a window, but I am feeling pretty testy with those who
think just because they can, they can.

Good luck A crash course in copyright for all sounds like just the ticket.

 are more reliable etc..

 They also advertised in that same article that they will convert all VHS

 They never mentioned anything about copyright - just that because its
 for educational use then its ok to do the conversion (for a price). As
 far as I can tell they never talked to campus legal either.

 Needless to say we were surprised (we have over 5000 VHS tapes in our

Re: [Videolib] help! what would a video librarian superhero look like?

[John Streepy]

A librarian superhero would always know exactly where to go to find how to 
defeat the villian, but leave the actual fighting to someone else. Not because 
we could not do the fighting, but because that is not their role. (unless it is 
that Japanese Manga where all the fighting is done by Librarians)

When I'm asked what an archivist is, I say that it's a librarian with a fedora 
and bullwhip, but the adventurer/explorer really is a decent description of a 
good librarian as well. I just spent ten minutes trying to paste Gary H's face 
on an Indiana Jones poster (though Gary would probably prefer Cannibal Women in 
the Avocado Jungle of Death)  
for fun but then I realized that the listserv won't take images -- but you get 
the idea. 



Maureen, it's a fun exercise and you haven't mentioned why you ask, but if it's 
a campaign, I don't like making people into superheroes because they can't 
exist. People like Indiana Jones and Ben Gates (minus the violence, incredible 
stunts, costly special effects and massive treasure) do exist. And many 
libraries do have hidden national treasures.
