Re: [Videolib] DVD packaging question
We have had a few mistakenly reshelved with CD or CD-ROM collections. Eco-friendly packaging is a great idea, but is it sufficiently rugged for library circulation? Are the sides closed to protect the disk as it travels? What do you think the use will be for for your title? High or low? How will it withstand being put in a book return? Good luck with your good intentions.

Re: [Videolib] [collib-l] Remote Access to Library Resources for Emeritus Faculty
Our institution and many others allow emeritus and retired faculty to retain active faculty status if they so choose to do so. This generally entails full faculty privileges. For some, this is just a nice retirement benefit. Many continue to contribute to the institution in significant ways, as advisor, mentor, committee members, teacher, fund raiser, organizer, researchers, etc.. We have a very active retired faculty organization. Their media use is generally personal home use, research and teaching. Rarely is it PPR, and if it is so, it is generally in connection with the university. No need to worry about rights violation. The harder part for us has been keeping them within our circulation system!

Re: [Videolib] Public Librarians... Hoopla??
We have seen variations on this them over the last decade or so for ebooks and digital media. It can be an administrative and budgeting nightmare. The more successful models allow access to a selection for users, the library pays for a predetermined number of uses with the option for additional use. Sometimes a certain level of use triggers a purchase(patron driven acquisition). It is a reality.

Re: [Videolib] captured news video on vhs: worth transferring to dvd?
Reminder. U.S. Copyright law section 108 f 3 relates to library recording, archiving and lending news broadcasts. Permissions are not necessary for hard and live news; news programs and specials are a different matter. The main issue may be whether retention and conversion of these recordings at your library is necessary for access. What is duplicated within reliable archives? How much of your news archive is local news? That may be the area where you should put your efforts. Besides the unreliable YouTube, there are the commercial news archives (NBC, Vanderbilit, CSpan) as well as the TVNews within the Internet Archive.

Re: [Videolib] Ambrosia
Yes, we went from U-matic, to VHS, to DVD, to online with this series. While there are many feature film and other theatrical versions, this is often still chosen. It does follow the play, without changes to the script. The BBC does have great casts and production values, often better than some of the alternative versions. One of our acting faculty would show a screen from BBC RSC and then an American or Canadian production to show the difference in acting style. We try to add new feature film adaptations and theatrical productions of Shakespeare and other primary plays and literary adaptations. Faculty and students make selections based upon their research needs! Sometimes they view several productions of the same scene or play. We did try switching out plays within our Ambrose Online for a few years based on campus productions and study. The process was cumbersome for our acquisition staff, but I hear improvements have been made to the interface. We also had to modify our catalog holdings. When funding became available, we licensed the whole series.

Well, hello good people. I suppose the BBC Shakespeare 1978-1985 could be considered ambrosia for humanists, but I'm curious how this set is incorporated into your overall accumulation of videos of Shakespeare plays. Is the BBC *Hamlet* THE ONE that most of your faculty members turn to in their classes, or do you, as many of us do, have a veritable Rijsttafel of video smackerels for their delight? We've got a bunch too -- Olivier, Gielgud, Brannagh, Gibson, Hawke, et al. -- and I would certainly go for a streaming copy of this play, offered by Ambrose now. But are these Shakepeares out of date in the contemporary classroom? -- there, I said it! i.e. Or to reverse engineer Renee Zellweger in *Jerry Maguire*, Did they have you at BBC? What are the approaches that we take with this classic set in our hoppers now? I might add, with this possibly-mostly-VHS classic set in our hoppers. Perhaps I am lazy, but I haven't updated *Coriolanus* and *Richard II*into DVDs. On the other hand, given the way streaming works, I could cherry pick particular productions on yearly licenses if I knew what was being taught in the coming semesters. It sure was easier in VHS days to have a box set of 37 videos and just have them there if anyone wanted to take the plunge. As we all know, students go running out of the classroom to watch Gielgud video cassettes on the weekends.

Re: [Videolib] Inter-Library Loan and VHS tapes
We have been circulating multiple media types for over a decade, with little damage. They do have a shorter loan period - 3 weeks. For film formats (vhs, dvd), the media staff review for loan restrictions from distributors, upcoming bookings, and anticipated high use. The biggest issue has been damage to DVD's. The cases often crack, occasionally leading to scratched discs. 2011 we had over a dozen cracked dvd cases. No problems with VHS. You may want to review the ALA VRT Guidelines for ILL of AV Formats. http://www.ala.org/vrt/professionalresources/vrtresources/interlibraryloan Nell Chenault VCU Libraries On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 9:15 AM, Heidi Busch hbhbu...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Rhonda, I knew what you meant!

Re: [Videolib] physical vs. streaming collection development policies
Budgets: We have been purchasing and subscribing to digital media through our electronic database budgets, not our film budget lines. This is similar to the transition to print journals and ebooks. The electronic content had separate budget lines; use of these new resources eventually allowed reduction in serial and some monograph budgets. The media databases replace some videos/dvd's, but also introduce new items to the collection. This has greatly reduced the need for individual media purchase in subject areas well covered by the databases. But, most media needs are not yet covered by these databases. Good luck!

Re: [Videolib] instruction for film students
Recent film school / dept. instruction here at VCU: - Film, documentary and animation production classes looking for footage, sound, equipment and production resources. The faculty request discussion of copyright and rights as it relates to production. - Most of the film school history classes are not writing research papers (!!), but are doing reaction papers to a film viewing. Working on faculty to change this practice, having the students integrate some research and reviews into their reaction papers! I have provided tours, service overviews (ILL), and orientation to general film sources and search tips. I had less requests this spring, maybe due to our new discovery search which makes it easier to refine results by format and the popularity of online review and directory sites (IMDB). - Most instruction requests are coming from world cinema, art history (video art, experimental film), and our graduate Media / Art / and Text program. Instruction may include cultural history, media and society, and art history article databases, primary research tools, and search strategies for finding movements, genres, etc.. Most also want to know about film production equipment and software available from the library. Of course, they prefer online resources as much as possible Film Studies research guide is getting its most use from our required writing and inquiry students who often choose a film related topic for their papers.

Re: [Videolib] HBO
HBO often has limited distribution rights for films which they broadcast (similar to PBS). You may need to contact the production company or filmmaker for early PPR or streaming rights. After initial broadcasts, some of their films will have an educational film distributor. HBO generally has a link to the film web site where you can get other information and contacts. I have gotten PPR rights for specific screenings, but not streaming or blanket PPR rights from HBO. As others have noted, patience may be needed.

It would be great if the UTEP Library could obtain a copy, as this film is covered in the historical component of my class (which I might teach again in the summer).” We are looking into getting a DVD version in the near future. *QUESTION:* Does anyone have any info regarding streaming rights for this title – or a vendor-based commercial streaming source (e.g.: online database)? I was able to find this title on the Internet Archive at http://archive.org/details/PhantasmagoriaTheater-BattleshipPotemkin1925396posted under a CreativeCommons License as being “public domain” – but just want to double double-check before suggesting this to our faculty member for classroom/teaching purposes.

Re: [Videolib] NMM
Great opportunity to see the wealth of media releases offered the last few years. Often there are multiple films on hot topics, so you can preview them to explore their scope, audience, etc.. This may lead to better quality and targeted selection. You also discover gems. The group meals and after hours events are where the buzz about interesting new films come to light. Networking is great for establishing discounts and relationships with vendors. The market is one of the venues where the vendors gather feedback on new topics needed, format features, licensing, etc.. The program offerings have increased. The focus has shifted from school and public to public and academic. I rarely network with public and school, but found we have many of the same issues. Vegas is still my favorite venue for direct and multiple flight options, great food, after hours fun (bowling, roller coasters, shopping, shows, the desert, and ... misbehavior). If you cannot attend annually, it is good to attend in every few years.

[Videolib] ALA Direct: The coming end of the DVD
Yesterday's ALA Direct has a link to a blog post by Stephen Abram musing about the impact on public library DVD collections and services in light of recent service model changes by Netflix and the US Postal Service. I am sure your colleagues are seeing this post. http://stephenslighthouse.com/2011/12/20/the-coming-end-of-the-dvd/ If you follow the links to the interview with Neflix CEO Reed Hastings, you see their corporations plan to stick to DVD, the cost advantages of ownership for lending (First Sale Doctrine), and recent trends of the market. He describes the upcoming downturn for DVD's: it?s a steady decline ever year a little bit, but there's a long-term residual market. http://seekingalpha.com/article/301738-netflix-s-ceo-discusses-q3-2011-results-earnings-call-transcript?part=qanda Nell Chenault Research Librarian for Film and Music VCU Libraries Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, VA 23284-2033 (804) 828-2070VIDEOLIB 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.

Re: [Videolib] Media circulation terms
DVD and video collections: Faculty for 1 week (7 days) with a 20 item limit. Faculty can also book titles for specific dates and longer loan periods. Students and staff for 3 days, 5 items. Community: in-library use (we are considering extending this to 3 days, 5 items). All renewals must not conflict with faculty bookings. We also do extensions (change the due date) for faculty, as needed. We have a 3 day grace period. Our health science library loans media for 4 weeks with 2 renewals for all patrons. We have found that undergrad loans have a higher risk for long overdue, lost, and not responding to recalls for classroom and reserve needs. Therefore, please provide a mechanism for faculty to book films in advance to assured access! We did a review of faculty bookings several years ago. Two popular patterns emerged: 3 days and 10 days met the majority of faculty needs. The next most requested loan periods were 2 days and 7 days.
