[Videolib] hip-hop docs on dvd?

[Maureen Tripp]

Does anyone know of a source for And You Don't Stop: 30 Years of Hip-Hop?
My Mic Sounds Nice?
The Furious Force of Rhymes?
A faculty member wants to use these in a new course this spring.
Thanks, collective wisdom.

Re: [Videolib] Jane Otto's C article.

[Maureen Tripp]

Scott, thanks for suggesting this article, "University Faculty Describe Their 
Use of Moving Images in Teaching and Learning . . . ".
It made me think that, apart from my regular and active clients, I don't know 
very much about faculty actually use moving images in their teaching. I would 
be interested in your faculty survey results, as well.
Did anyone else who read the article find her last paragraph disturbing?

"The largest issue, however, may be that faculty video users appear to be 
falling away. If libraries are to survive as players in this arena, they will 
have to redefine themselves. They must reexamine their relationship to YouTube 
and other online video sources. Are there ways in which libraries can 
facilitate access to the heavily used resources they don't own, and never will? 
Will they choose to compete with online providers or identify new services to 
complement those of the Internet video sites? Libraries should stake out their 
territory, marshal their resources, focus their efforts, and get the word out."

Anyone have any ideas on specific ways we can go about staking, marshalling, 
focusing, etc?

Hi Meghan,
I concur with deg that we need more data on specific user experiences with 
library based commercial video collections. IMHO Jane Otto's 2014 C article 
on the topic is a decent reference point (includes survey and qualitative focus 
group methodologies):
Otto, J. J. (2014). University Faculty Describe Their Use of Moving Images in 
Teaching and Learning and Their Perceptions of the Library's Role in That Use. 
College & Research Libraries, 75(2), 115-144.

Similarly, in Spring '15 to capture some case studies as part of a streaming 
task group initiative, I sent out a survey to known instructor users of our 
licensed streaming video content asking about specific pedagogical use cases, 
content value, streaming affordances, and technical experience with these 
materials.  I am not certain if it would be helpful for your question, but feel 
free to take a look at a public copy I made of this survey: 
http://z.umn.edu/publicvideousesurvey.  Further, I would be happy to share some 
of the general results if anyone is interested.

[Videolib] audio recordings of poets/writers reading their work?

[Maureen Tripp]

Well, fresh off the streaming rights for tv series discussion, here I am with 
another question . . .
much less controversial, I'm sure--
We had many spoken word audiocassettes in our collection, and I'd like to 
replace them on CD. But I'm having trouble finding sources for them.
I can find some collections and a few individual poet collections on Amazon, 
but much of what we had--Audre Lorde, Kurt Vonnegut, and others--are not there, 
or anywhere that I can find.
Any suggestions?

[Videolib] streaming rights for TV series?

[Maureen Tripp]

Would like some feedback on the following scenario:  The complete first season 
of All in the Family is part of the library's media collection.  A TV writing 
faculty member wants to show a single episode to students enrolled in an online 
course.  The faculty member would borrow the DVD from the  Library, take it to 
media/instructional services and ask that it be digitized and uploaded to an 
internal streaming service so that it could be streamed via a course management 
system.

However, if this TV writing faculty member wants to stream more than one 
episode, then the fair use analysis would weigh against fair use, and they 
would need to seek streaming rights.

And speaking of streaming rights for TV series, does anyone have any tips on 
how to proceed?
Thank you, Collectively Wise Ones.

[Videolib] using short films for an online class

[Maureen Tripp]

A faculty member will be teaching an online class on the short film, and wants 
to use (obviously) a bunch of short films as part of the class.  Meaning she 
wants to post them online.
We have many of the films as part of DVD collections we've purchased--for 
example, Academy Award Nomanated Short Films, or Best of Resfest.
It's my understanding that these films are complete works, and therefore can't 
be used in their entirety online.
But it's proving very difficult to find out who owns the rights to all these 
films--is there any possibility that I'm wrong, and that, as portions of a 
collection, a case could be made that using them online is like using parts of 
a complete work?

Deg and Jo Ann’s process is similar to the one that I am researching at GMU now.

As part of the research process, I have compiled different 500 notes for

know.

Additionally, compiling a public site on ALA Connect about our best practices 
on Sec. 108 is a project that I have been hoping to start up.  It would be 
simple: just needs someone to do the data entry and create the links.

If anyone is interested in developing a Sec. 108 best practices links list, 
please contact me so we can discuss!

At the University of Connecticut this is the process we follow. Since it is 
labor intensive and time consuming we invoke section 108 sparingly.


1.   Determine if the VHS is damaged, deteriorating, lost or stolen.

2.   Document damage, deterioration. This checklist developed by Kenneth 
Crews useful for ensuring i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed. 
http://copyright.columbia.edu/copyright/files/2009/10/copyrightchecklist108preservation.pdf

3.   If found to be damaged/deteriorating, conduct due diligence search for 
evidence of new VHS or DVD for sale at a reasonable price. We use this 
checklist (Creative Commons license), http://aladinrc.wrlc.org/handle/1961/16025

4.   If no new VHS or DVD is found for sale then a DVD is made from the VHS.

5.   The VHS goes to our archive and does not circulate.

6.   The DVD goes on permanent reserve. The case is clearly marked, 
“Section 108 Copy: In Building Circulation Only. This material was reproduced 
under the provisions of Section 108 of United States Copyright Law and may be 
protected by copyright.” “For use at UConn Libraries only. No InterLibrary 
Loan. Does not include public performance rights but may be used in the 
classroom.” “Preservation copy of Archival VHS. Not to be used outside of the 
Library.”

7.   The catalog record includes this statement, “For Use at UConn 
Libraries only. No Interlibrary Loan. Does not include public performance 
rights but may be used in the classroom.” And the permanent location is “Sec108 
Copy (Reserve)”. The catalog record for the VHS indicates the location as 
“Sec108 Original (@Dodd)”, our archive.

Subject: [Videolib] old vhs tapes

Hi all,
We are , like many of you, replacing old VHS tape content with DVDs or 
streaming when possible. What are you doing with the VHS tape?  Keeping it or 
discarding it?  Or putting it on a digital master for safekeeping?
Thanks,
Rhonda

[Videolib] anyone know a source for Fear on Trial?

[Maureen Tripp]

We have a copy on VHS, but I'd like to upgrade to DVD.
However, I can't find a copy available for purchase in any format.
It's a 1975 made for TV movie, with George C. Scott.
Any leads much appreciated!

[Videolib] ok, enough about pornography in academic library collections!

[Maureen Tripp]

As the person who started this discussion, I want to thank you all for taking 
part, and I now have a clearer idea of how other academic libraries deal with 
the issues.
Doug and Elizabeth, you are certainly strong advocates for your principles, but 
guys . . . maybe take it down a notch.  Access to Behind the Green Door is not 
going to make or break anyone's academic experience.
I hope when we all meet up again in real life, at conferences, workshops, etc. 
that we can . . . well . . . get along.

[Videolib] pornographic films in the Library collection?

[Maureen Tripp]

A faculty member is planning a new class for the spring--Sex in the Media.  
Guess who gets to order his new, pornographic DVDs?  So . . . my question for 
academic media librarians out there--do you include materials like Behind the 
Green Door, Vintage Stage Films of the 40's and 50's and Russ Meyers' Abundant 
Beginnings (collection) in your catalogs?
Apart from my general squeamishness, I wonder if having these titles in the 
collection might be disturbing to other students who find them demeaning to 
women, or perhaps even perceive them as warranting trigger warnings.
So . . . does anyone include porn in their collection?  If yes, under what 
circumstances, and do you treat them any differently than any other collection 
item?
thanks,
Maureen

[Videolib] do any academic libraries out there share your media collections with faculty teaching at external program locations?

[Maureen Tripp]

Hi Everyone,
A faculty member wants to borrow 10 DVD and VHS titles for the fall semester, 
for use at our L.A. campus.
We've never had a request like this before, as the program is relatively new.
I don't like the idea of 1. tying up stuff for an entire semester (usual length 
of loans to our faculty is 2 weeks)
2. shipping this stuff across the country
Some of these titles could be leased from Swank, but if we set that precedent, 
it could run into big bucks!
What do you all do/think?
thanks,
Maureen

If so, where do the files reside? On the Library server?
We've never purchased a title as an HD file before.
Any other issues we should consider?

subtitles.  The disability office wonders if, once these materials are 
captioned and transferred to a dvd, the Library can catalog them as captioned, 
and keep them in the teaching collection.
Faculty would be able to locate them through the catalog, and could use them in 
face to face teaching.
What say you all?

We label all of our DVDs with an LC call number.  The call number is placed on 
a DVD case for browsing and a paper disc sleeve for storing in a cd cabinet.  
We keep the discs in the cabinet behind the service desk and the DVD cases get 
shelved in open browsing cabinets.  The discs in the cabinet behind the desk 
are filed by call number.  The browsing cases are shelved by the first letter 
of the film title.  So anything with a title that starts with B will be in 
the B section, not in alphabetical order.  So, they pick a case, bring it to 
the desk, we use the call number on the case to locate the disc and put it in 
the case for checkout.  We don't worry about security since the discs are 
stored behind the desk.

I will warn that is is a very labor intensive/time consuming way of doing 
things.  I think we spend more time shelving/pulling DVDs than anything else at 
the desk.  We had space and financial issues that prompted the move in this 
direction.  I looked at the Browser Pak product and determined it would be too 
costly for us.  We already had the cd cabinet so we were just re-purposing an 
empty cabinet. We did move to an extra slim DVD case for browsing purposes to 
save space.  I have been very happy with the paper sleeves that we use.  They 
are practically indestructible.

Overall, it seems to work but could be better.  I just haven't figured out a 
better way yet.

Hi videlib

The Tisch library is in the early planning stages of moving the library  DVD 
collection from a closed to open stacks.  We want to keep the collection 
together in one place. The current filing system is by call number dv1 is the 
first film in the collection dv13912 is the last film in the collection. I was 
wondering how other libraries  arranged the films in open stacks. Also do you 
use any security system with the open stacks?

High Heels and Ground Glass
This fascinating film portrays the life and work of five outstanding women
photographers, born around the turn of the century, who perfected their
craft in an era when photography was a man s domain. Using examples of
their photography with clips from news of the day, their on-camera
interviews are woven together to tell a story about life for professional
women living in turbulent decades of the middle of the twentieth century.
Gisele Freund, a reporter-photographer describes her harrowing escape from
Nazi Germany with negatives taped to her body. Fashion photographer Louise
Dahl-Wolfe recalls her evolution from a young art student to the creator
of Harpers Bazaar covers. Maurine Loomis was a little known but highly
successful photographer of Hollywood stars. Lisette Model, the teacher of
Diane Arbus, reveals her method for making a successful photograph. Eiko
Yamazawa practiced her art in Japan for over seventy years with the
elegant eye of an abstract painter. These dedicated women share their
successes and struggles with candor and warmth.



From Cinema Guild

Words of Witness
Follows a 22-year-old female reporter for the independent newspaper Egypt
Independent , as she covers Egypt¹s transition to democracy, from the
heyday of Tahir Square to Egypt¹s first free and fair presidential
election. Defying cultural and gender norms as well as family
expectations, Heba takes to the streets to report, using Facebook posts,
tweets, and text messages, on an Egypt in turmoil. The film offers a
fascinating account of Egypt post-revolution as the nation faces the
challenges that lay ahead; as well as a moving portrait of an incredible,
fearless young woman, who is now a contributor to The New York Times.
Heba¹s story is an illustration of the critical role social media played
in the Arab Spring, as nations are in the process of reinventing
themselves and finding their voices.

No Job for a Woman
Before World War II, war reporting was considered to be absolutely no job
for a woman. But when the United Staets entered the war, American women
reporters did not want to miss covering the biggest story of the century
so they fought for and won access. But there was a catch: women reporters
would be banned from the frontlines, prevented from covering front page
stories about generals and battlefield maneuvers, and assigned woman's
angle stories about nurses and female military personnel. Several women
reporters refused to abide by these journalisti conventions and military
restrictions and, instead, brought home a new kind of war story; one that
was more intimate yet more revealing.

[Videolib] captured news video on vhs: worth transferring to dvd?

[Maureen Tripp]

From about 1981 to 2001 my media department routinely recorded news 
off-air-not regular broadcasts, but coverage of events like inaugurations, 
presidential debates, Democratic and Republican national conventions, state of 
the union addresses, as well as special events we considered newsworthy, like 
Saddam Hussein and Dan Rather, and Nixon on Meet the Press.
These recordings are on VHS.  A lot of this material, like coverage of 9/11, is 
on youtube.  I wonder, though, if it is worth transferring our vhs material to 
dvd?  Might stuff on youtube go away at some point?
I also wonder about the ethics of doing this.  We would keep these DVDs for 
inhouse viewing only.

Subject: [Videolib] What is in a name?!

This is a shout out to all of you video/media/audiovisual librarians...  Could 
you please tell me what you call your library or area of the library or college?

The background is this - since the College's existence in 1964, we have been 
called the Audiovisual or AV Library.  I am the Audiovisual Librarian and we 
have an Audiovisual Administrative Assistant.  However, we have just had a 
renovation of the entire library, and the Audiovisual Library has been left off 
of the new signage - we are not in directories, and there are no individual 
signs.  No one knows where we are now that we have moved location!!

The reason seems to be that the administrators of the College think that 
Audiovisual is a dated term.  They would prefer something sexy, evidently, but 
they don't know what.  Actually, I think that the administration would be 
happiest if we went entirely to streaming!!  We in the library still have a 
number of video tapes, cds, and many dvds which are heavily used by faculty and 
students.  And we have viewing equipment.

One proposal is Media Services - tho that has a bad connotation here on campus, 
as that used to be the department creating media productions and delivering 
equipment on campus.  It had a poor reputation.  Multimedia Services is taken 
by our IT department.  I personally would like to keep Audiovisual Library but 
I don't think that our Library Director is going to go with that.  Could you 
please tell me what you are called, or if you have any ideas for sexy, 
forward-thinking titles?

Thanks so much!!

At the CCUMC conference last week in Las Vegas there was an excellent workshop

the Collection Development and Management Interest Group.  Our proceedings will 
be online shortly.  This may be one way to begin, that is, to get a variety of 
perspectives and strategies.

At our institution, we are not removing VHS/DVD players from our classrooms.  
We still have a number in stock when one goes, we replace.  We too have a large 
VHS collection to support.  Slowly, I have been replacing our most popular 
titles on DVD or streaming whenever possible.  It is a slow task and also an 
expensive one to say the least.  This is a much larger transition than when we 
went from ¾ to VHS because VHS has been in existence much longer and the 
titles were relatively cheap so our collections blew up in size.

I would encourage you to have VHS players on hand for faculty to check out to 
take to the classrooms to connect and use as needed if they indeed are being 
removed.  You can try to ask IT to keep them in the rooms as long as they are 
operational.  When they die, that's when they replace them.

Consider going to CCUMC next year as I'm sure it might be helpful in dealing 
with these issues.  The conference will be held in Chicago.

Subject: [Videolib] Confronting a campus wide VHS DEATH Deadline

Greetings,

I have an issue of which I would like some advice.  Recently, our  IT  
department (bless 'em)  for our university announced that as of May 6 of next  
year it would be pulling all VHS VCR players out of all classrooms, including 
dual (DVD/VHS) players and would no longer be supplying or supporting any of 
these players.  DVD could still be played on the existing classroom 
instructor's computer of course.  The bombshell was dropped on the faculty.

To be sure, we have long been living with the long, slow death of VHS, and we 
(or at least I) have expected this death to be a lingering one as far as the 
library is concerned anyway.  We have a significant collection of VHS tapes 
still and have about a dozen players in the library to play them.  We have been 
slowly replacing the collection with DVD (no Blu-Ray), but still have some 
heavily used VHS titles.
I certainly understand the IT department's point of view, especially 
considering our cash-strapped state of late.  They are looking for ways to not 
pay for or maintain unnecessary equipment.  VHS is a likely target.

However, you can imagine the effect this announcement has had on our faculty 
when they were suddenly told that that if you have VHS tapes that you show in 
your classes, you will need to find replacements by May 6, 2013.  IT also 
mentioned the coming analog sunset, which has evoked memories of the dreaded 
Y2K of earlier times (remember that apocalypse?).  VHS death went from a 
lingering, gradual one (to which we seem to be slowly adapting) to a quick 
bullet to the head.   Actually, it's more like a bomb tossed into a crowd at 
the moment.

We are getting frantic requests to digitize VHS tapes or replace everything 
with DVD and streaming as well as a general perception of what do we do now?

Obviously, this is a perfect opportunity for our library to sweep in, calm all 
nerves, gently explain the situation to faculty and administration, and save 
the day as the information/video/media professionals that we are.

Still, I was hoping to get some input from other media librarians out there who 
are or have been through or into this lately.
How are your libraries handling this?  By this I mean transitioning between 
VHS and DVD and (in our case at least) facing an institution that is now 
declaring an entire format obsolete and un-usable by early next year.  Of 
course it involves copying issues, collection development, streaming, and you 
name it.  At the very least it means the library taking a leadership role (and 
producing a working plan) to get the institution through this great transition

Subject: [Videolib] Big Picture Cataloging Advice

Hi Videolibbers,

I have a brooding sense that I really am about to ask a pretty dumb question, 
but this is generally a fairly forgiving listserv. So here it is:  our 
cataloger (i.e. mainly, our media cataloger) has just retired.  It’s never an 
expeditious process here to get a position filled (I’m thinking 6 months).  In 
the meantime, we’re continuing to receive media.  In terms of cataloging 
knowledge, the rest of the librarians (including myself) are worthless, and 
though we have a paraprofessional she does only copy cataloging and no media.  
So, do I have any other options besides waiting? I know a lot of places 
(Midwest for example) provide MaRC records, but in truth I’m hoping there might 
exist something more “robust”.  If not, is it worth the effort for someone here 
to learn media cataloging if in all likelihood they’ll be replacement for my 
retired colleague… eventually.

PS –I think they do a consistently weak job of teaching cataloging (in library 
school), but I also blame myself for not taking it seriously enough.

[Videolib] Two things:

[Maureen Tripp]

1.   I have a part-time assistant who handles media desk operations and 
manages our student staff.  I have tried unsuccessfully to have his position 
made full-time.  He's been here for two years, and I would at least like him to 
get a salary increase.  Would any other academic media librarian folks like to 
share with me what the pay rate for comparable positions at other schools?  
This information would help me to ask for an appropriate increase.  This can be 
off-list, of course.
2.  Would anyone be willing to share their experiences with Film Movement?  
It sounds like a great way for the Library to do some media programming.  I'd 
like to hear from someone who has tried-pros and cons, if any.
Thanks, everyone!

[Videolib] thank you for all the media/digital/trans literacy insights!

[Maureen Tripp]

Just did the presentation, and it went really well-though the discussion kind 
of devolved into arguments about fair use, copyright, and general dismay over 
the state of critical thinking on campus.
It seems some percentage of students are doing media assignments, but not 
getting enough classroom and production support.  Alas, since we don't have a 
production lab (I envy yours, Deb and Scott!) it isn't easy for us to help out 
in those ways.
Anyway, my thinking at least is clarified by all of your insights  I love

[Videolib] media/digital/transliteracy?

I have been asked to talk to faculty about some version of these literacies, 
and suggest some ways our library help our students become more media/digital, 
or trans literate.
My first question:  what is the difference between these terms?
And the second is like it:  what is the preferred term?
And finally, if anyone has any ideas about programs or services that might 
support development of said literacies, I'd love to hear them.  Thanks, as 
always, o collective wisdom!

Re: [Videolib] Providence Community Library (Rhode Island) is seeking 16mm films

I'd be really interested in any details you can share about the series

We actually have a 16mm film collection that I am fervently defending and if I

that would be a great help to my argument that they are valuable resources!

Hi Dave,

I think Jessica means that if the films will be shown to the public (which is 
probably what you're planning), then even if you OWN the film, you will still 
have to get permission to show it.

BTW, we have checked our archives and cannot find any of our old 16mms. Perhaps

Yes, we do have a Public Performance License through Swank which

and also private collections that can be rented from, but am trying to

[Videolib] media cataloging question

[Maureen Tripp]

Our cataloging folks have been cataloging our circulating DVDs as (mostly) PN 
1995.9, then organized by genre.  They claim they could catalog more quickly if 
they began using some other PN number, then organizing them by director or by 
title.
Is this true?  I am not a cataloger.  Obviously.
Do other academic libraries use LOC to catalog their DVDs?  If so, do you use 
PN 1995.9, or something else?

[Videolib] prioritizing media cataloging

[Maureen Tripp]

As some of you know, I was recently complaining and whining about how our 
catalog department seems to find media cataloging particularly troublesome, and 
thus, we have a big back-up of materials.  Also, I complained that they didn't 
want to catalog our FMG Films on Demand items, because it was too much trouble.
So, after that, I decided to ask them to catalog the FMG items.  They say they 
can, but I must prioritize-should they concentrate on cataloging the physical 
media items that we have waiting (several thousand, due to alumni donations) or 
the FMG collection (also several thousand titles).

[Videolib] media circulation at same desk as regular circ?

[Maureen Tripp]

There's talk here of getting rid of the media desk, and merging it with the 
regular circulation desk, in an attempt to same money on the staff budget.
I don't like this, but I'm not sure why.
We have two collections--one which circulates to students, and I'm sure that 
could be handled at the circ desk.
But we also have a teaching collection, which is booked for faculty in 
advance--or, which happens often, faculty can call us and book titles on the 
spot.  These videos don't circulate outside of the Library, except for use by 
faculty in classes, or for faculty preview.
It seems to me that having two service desks is a good idea, to relieve stress 
and congestion.  But I don't have any evidence for this, and I'm a committee of 
one, the only Media Librarian here, and thus, I have a vested interest in 
keeping a separate media desk.
Has anyone gone through this?  Does anyone have any ideas pro or con for 
merging media operations with the print circulation desk?
Any help/feedback would be much appreciated!

I'm assuming Journalism and Communication could be covered by media studies.
Any insights into the impact on student work--embedding clips into projects, 
etc?
Thanks, wise ones.

[Videolib] looking for video docs on printing

[Maureen Tripp]

 Has anyone seen anything in the documentary area, or industrial film area, 
that would take us inside a printing plant where books are manufactured?
The ideal film would show something about paper making, and then, inside the 
printing plant, a web press and a sheet fed press, folding of signatures into 
pages, gathering of signatures into the book block, printing the cover or 
jacket, and gluing or sewing the cover on.
While I'm on the industrial kick here, a similar question: We could use a film 
on how digitally driven warehouses work. At the Ingram and Amazon warehouses, 
for instance, where millions of titles are stored, the fork lifts are robots 
that can pick and pack titles for bookstores.  Our publishing faculty would 
love to see something like that!
