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. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.


Re: [Videolib] streaming of Antigone

2017-01-12 Thread Randal Baier
Well, this is really fascinating. I guess because you have subscribed to
Theatre-in-Video that link passes you through to the video, because when I
click the ../work/854686 link I only get an invitation to trial or purchase
the content.

http://search.alexanderstreet.com/learn-how-to-access-this-content

We'll have to follow up with a representative and see if we can get the
copy *a la carte* I guess.

Oddly, when I click your second link there are many antigone hits, but not
this production.There are 21 pages of hits, maybe I missed it.

Re: [Videolib] streaming of Antigone

2017-01-12 Thread Randal Baier
Michael, are you sure that your streaming version is the WNET production of
Antigone, from  Broadway Theatre Archive.? the same as the OCLC record
shows?

I get a few versions in ASP, but don't find WNET. I get this one, the
Juliet Stevenson version:
http://search.alexanderstreet.com/preview/work/657633

And another one from Active Mind (1990). And so student productions.

I ask because when I search on the ASP site for BTA, all I get is two
results from BTA, a version of Hamlet and "The widowing of Mrs. Holroyd."

Maybe these are older listings. Here's what is listed on the BTA Streaming
site, but not the WNET:
https://www.broadwayhd.com/index.php/shows/watch/Antigone#sthash.p9W2hmVz.dpbs

Anyway -- I think a lot of ASP content is from various versions of their
products, I'll just call them to confirm, with any luck, the WNET version
is also available from streaming. The WNET version is available as DVD from
BTA.

Sorry to confound things, just trying to get some clarification. Bear with
me!

I tried the hyperlinks but each came up with "Under maintenance" responses,
kind of confusing. I don't know if the link was actually working.

But I tracked it down in the Streaming video web pages of ASP, not in the

Michael, thanks!! I was on the BTA site last night searching but did not
know if they were streaming. Glad to know that ASP is covering this. We
subscribe to VAST/AVON right now, so perhaps it is available through that
package. Otehrwise we'll call them to track it down!!

Thanks for the assistance!

[Videolib] streaming of Antigone

2017-01-11 Thread Randal Baier
Does anyone know if this version is available for streaming. There is a
version in FilmsMedia Group and a version in Kanopy. Not sure of the Films
Media version, they don't give personnel/production details.

I'm looking to see if the WNET version (Keach, Bujold, et al.) is on
streaming anywhere?

Give me Sophocles before the inauguration .!!! (Well, maybe
Aristophanes would be more fitting)

[Videolib] Jean Anouilh's Antigone, Jac Venza & WNTE production

2016-12-20 Thread Randal Baier
I'm wondering if anyone knows if this 2001 DVD can be found in a streaming
version. We've had a request here from one of the theatre classes for next
semester.

Maybe the Broadway Theater Archive would allow streaming?

*Antigone* [DVD videorecording] / Jean Anouilh ; a presentation of Thirteen
/ WNET New York, Theatre in America ; Broadway Theatre Archive ; produced
by Jac Venza in association with David Griffiths ; written by Jean Anouilh
; directed by Gerald Freedman.
[EMU link}: http://portal.emich.edu/vwebv/holdingsInfo?bibId=885456

https://www.amazon.com/Antigone-Fritz-Weaver/dp/B000W4KMH0/


All best for a video-infused holiday time (and other infusions if suitable
to time and place).

[Videolib] position descriptions for media librarians into the anthropocene

2016-11-16 Thread Randal Baier
Is Media Librarian the proper title any more?

At NMM this year one of the topics of discussion was the fate of media
librarianship going forward -- video librarian, media and arts librarian,
digital media librarian, and other such titles.

I'd be interested in looking at job descriptions or position descriptions
for librarian assignments that would fit into these multi-layered
categories. And what would new descriptions, duties as assigned, purview,
etc. look like in the next 3-5 years?

If folks wanted to point me to any online descriptions I could collect and
report back. But perhaps some of you would like to CHIME IN on needs and
qualifications for the future. I'd be glad to consolidate and redistribute.

Maybe a topic for 2017 NMM while we commune with our Level 3 VEEGAN (tm)
certified tofu cultivators in Portlandia? (And don't even consider eating
an egg from the chicken named Charlotte ever again!)

Hug a walnut for peace, everyone. Lord knows there are enough nutz to go
around now.

[Videolib] Troubleshooting issues with vest or Avon

2016-11-14 Thread Randal Baier
Hi folks one of the videos from Alexander Street vast collection has been
"upgraded" from Full streaming to "sample" in the Avon collection. It's the
video about "Ny'i !Kung woman"

I just have a simple question instead of getting this stuff into the
trouble ticket World it will take a week or so to get resolved... does
anyone know a direct personal connection with phone number or email who I
could ask to fix the problem ? Reince Priebus maybe? we have several
anthropology classes that are loving this film and loving to show it today
or wanted to this week.

I go into a basic American Grocery Store and see colorful colorful abundant
rows of enticing cereals so many choices so little so little time. But
guess what they're out of shredded wheat biscuits. And no one can find
the shipping carton in the storeroom because they're overworked and they
have to unload the yogurt before they can get to aisle 7. In the meantime
the neighbor kid is screaming "I want my Maypo!" and another micro
aggression rears its angry head. Not as bad as "by the way what language
are you speaking?" [Ans: English ], but Annoying just the same.


all the best, Randal

My opinion is that the chances are pretty good. Iʻve done this with some
local (Detroit area) filmmakers and one even sent us a free copy. Hopefully
all the emails you have are valid and get to the right person.

The prof. could be doing this also, by the way. s/he/they could consider it

[Videolib] Finding "Careless Lady" (1932) with Joan Bennett

2016-06-22 Thread Randal Baier
A colleague is doing work on Billie Holiday's "All of Me," and apparently it 
was sung, not by Holiday, in this film. He's trying to ascertain all the 
versions before Holiday picked it up. 


Any leads.? He has come across a "dubious" streaming site, which he is not 
interested in subscribing to at the moiment -- which seems to have the film 
online. It was also shown in NYC in 35 mm version at a festival in recent 
years. 


I was on the Turner ( http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/70307/Careless-Lady/ ) 
channel and they have a listing but no information about whether it is 
available or not. Seems like it's not out there in VHS or DVD form. 


Just wondering if anyone has come across this?

I'd like to verify that the song is actually *in* the film, since that may 
simply be a factoid that has been continually reproduced in the writings on the 
song, even though I think it's highly unlikely that any of the writers on the 
song have seen the film.) 


I suspect the film may never have been commercially released even on VHS, 
although I don't know that for sure. The only modern showing that I'm 
reasonably sure took place was in New York a decade or so ago, but I imagine 
they rented a 35 mm print or something along those lines.

[Videolib] Where is Lady Day?

2016-05-03 Thread Randal Baier
Hi folks, 


I'm trying to help a faculty member discover a copy of The Long Night of Lady 
Day , which was an American Masters PBS broadcast. Does anyone have any 
insights into how to track it down. John Jeremy is the director with these 
other folks as producers. 



* Angus Trowbridge Executive Producer 
* Alan Yentob Producer 
* Wendie Knighton Associate Producer 
* John Jeremy Director 



I've included the email from my colleague looking to find the DVD with any 
luck: 




* There is a Billie Holiday documentary called The Long Night of Lady 
Day . It was originally made around 1986, and has apparently been broadcast by 
PBS as recently as 2006 as an "American Masters" documentary (at least that's 
the way it looks to me from their site): 

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/billie-holiday-about-the-singer/68/ 

So far as I can see, this video is not currently available anywhere in any 
format except on eBay from Japan as a laser disc (for sale by someone who 
doesn't have a laser disc player to check it)! I see no mention of a DVD 
available anywhere. It doesn't look as if [our] library has the documentary. A 
Google search on the title comes up with an Amazon link to a *different* 
documentary, The Many Faces of Billie Holiday, which is currently on YouTube 
(albeit with Portuguese subtitles). 

But so far I'm stumped in trying to track down The Long Night of Lady Day. Yet 
it seems to have been a major documentary (it's around 90 min), and it is the 
only documentary listed in the "Selected Films and Videos" section of the 
article on Holiday in Grove Jazz , 2nd ed. ... 

Any ideas about the Long Night documentary? I'd really like to see it. So far 
as I can see, it's not on YouTube, except as someone's inaccessible "private" 
video. 
* 
All the best, Randal

112 is about sound so not involved with this at all 
TEACH ACT specifies the use of small portions of dramatic works at least. 


Needless to say if it were actually legal to stream entire films for classes 
then one would surely expect for this to be done in widespread and open way and 
everyone from Swank to Kanopy would be largely out of business at least for 
that. 


I would add that the recent Library of Congress ruling on the DMCA specifcally 
and catogorically rejected this by stating that such a use was not accepted " 
due to lack of legal and factual support for exemption)" So you can either 
believe the copyright laws as written, the Library of Congress or people who 
refuse to directly challenge the law by acting in secret. ( by which I mean 
they dont' openly state they do this which would result in legal action)

up with this years ago, but if it’s wrong then I will gladly pass the comments

uses three codes/acts to justify digitizing and posting entire audiovisual 
works for strictly online only courses within the LMS. 

SCENARIO : A teacher wishes to digitize and transmit copyrighted media either 
in portions or in its entirety to her online class for instructional purposes. 
GUIDELINE : This is fair use as long as it is restricted to students officially 
enrolled in the course and technological measures are applied that prevent the 
retention of the work for longer than the class session and prevent 
unauthorized further dissemination of the work. Please note that depending on 
the length of the work, there may be technical limitations associated with 
bandwidth and storage. Each case must be coordinated with the instructor’s 
course developer in the Online Learning Center. In all cases, the instructor 
should ensure that the copyright notice is included in the transmission.

Appropriations Authorization Act (AKA The Technology, Education, and Copyright 
Harmonization Act of 2002 (TEACH Act). 

Another department on campus handles LMS content for online only courses, the 
library is not involved at all so I’m not sure what the exact technological 
measures are to prevent retention of the work longer than the class period or 
prevent unauthorized dissemination. I do know that the digitization and posting 
will only be done for works owned by the university, whether it would be in the 
library collection, a department only collection, or something like that. If 
the work is the professor’s personal copy, they won’t digitize and post any 
portion of it. 

If the course is a web-enhanced or meets face-to-face, then this guideline does 
not apply and only portions of the audiovisual work can be posted with the LMS.

Amazing story, I hadn't followed this:

It's listed as "Coming Soon" on the NFB site, and they produced it.

I would say the best thing would be to contact the filmmaker Sophie Deraspe 
directly and see if she would send you a copy for playing to the class. When it 
comes out we could acquire it. I will also write to our NFB rep to see if we 
can get an "early" copy but they may be doing post production on it. I couldn't 
track down an email for her.

Re: [Videolib] No more DVDs?

2015-11-03 Thread Randal Baier
" ... so soon as it steps forth as a commodity, it is changed into something 
transcendent ..." 



A serious question and certainly something to think about. 


We are still purchasing DVDs because we don't yet have the streaming use to 
warrant a rental-type arrangement, which is essentially what the 
subscription/licensing has become. And another aspect is the added value that 
many of the DVDs have with extra features, data, still images, etc. 

I wonder if a DVD on demand (um, on request) model would work? You could go 
completely to streamed content but still make the DVDs available to those who 
need to continue using them. Or make good web sites that provide the ancillary 
material. 


I will say that spending $350 for a DVD that might have a very short shelf life 
would be the same as spending that $350 for a 3-yr. streaming license. If it's 
not played at all after three years what's the difference? With a PDA or EBA 
model you might be able to have added availability and viewing during that 
period, so turnover would be something that might be an advantage of "all 
streaming, all the time." 


Faculty are now preferring streamed content, but we still make choices to get 
DVDs based on their cost over time. (oops, the DVD cost not the faculty cost!) 
I guess another matter is the have and have not issue with $$$ resources as 
well. For some it's a matter of affordability. 




Yet don't forget one thing: the precious aura of a held object. We NEED our 
Nosferatu s!!! 


But, of course, you don't have to take my word for it --

Dear Videolib friends 

As many of you know Icarus Films has been helping to build, and currently has 
over 300 titles on, Docuseek2, to provide colleges and universities streaming 
access to our collection over the internet. 

Yes, we continue to invest in producing and releasing DVDs of the same titles. 
And, as streaming usage increases, selling fewer and fewer of them. 

It is making me wonder if we should stop selling DVDs altogether, not producing 
them at all for new films, and not ordering any more once we sell the last one 
of an older one. 

What do you think would happen if we did that? 

How many of you would definitely NOT buy or use a film that a professor or 
collection development librarian wanted to have, if it was ONLY available via 
streaming? 

I’m serious in asking this question, I think it may be time to take a (perhaps) 
drastic step, and not another small incremental one. What do you think? Thanks!

Re: [Videolib] preferred streaming service

2015-10-24 Thread Randal Baier
Ok, let me get this right. One week back from Market, home again home again 
jiggety jig I forget everything I learned.

PDA = patron-driven acquisitions = your catalog has lots of videos listed but 
patron choices determine what you buy. In the perfect world you decide if you 
really want it for your collection, rather than succumb to yet another 
"Epiphany of the Dead" request. They are available but not in the sense of 
available. Patron sees a "request this from your library message." Or something 
to that effect.

EBA = evidence-based acquisitions = you have catalog listings that actually are 
there, available for viewing for a certain period. After that period library 
picks the top 50, 100, 200 that percolate (I love that word!) to the top based 
on use and other factors. That becomes the basis for the next cycle. Then what 
happens?

Another thickener in this soup is something I was reminded at in ABQ. For 
various reasons -- this is not an accusation, I'm curious as to why -- vendors 
aren't putting all their films in the streaming collections, e.g. Latest 
releases? Is that because they want to also preserve DVD sales ... A more 
definite income stream? This is sort of analogous to JSTOR's moving wall idea 
perhaps?

Unless you want to hire me as a consultant to ask questions in the boardroom -- 
will pontificate for sorbetto -- please help me oh wisdom leaders. 

Best, Randal

Re: [Videolib] merging media desk with circulation and reference desks

2015-09-14 Thread Randal Baier

Interesting issue. I'm afraid I have no advice on this matter. 

Once the media desk merges into circulation, the sense of media as an 
independent format with it's own intellectual "aura" is gone. 

But this is the nature of the modern circ system. Get the books/DVDs/Things. To 
a hammer, everything is a nail; to a circ desk, everything is an object. If t 
bleeds, it leads, but it needs a bar code. 

A separate media desk attracts geeks who love film, esoterica, and intellectual 
aspects of a field of study. You get Z-generation Goths watching Marlene 
Dietrich. They want to watch Bande à part in the original. And forget about 
Jimmy Johnston, the [typical] American who runs through the Louvre in record 
breaking time. Don't stop to see the pretty pictures. 


We've lost this in the modern neo-Darwinian Library, crossdressed, crosstrained 
and fretful about accountability and the crossaligned G8 mentailty. It went the 
way of full format 35 mm film, long ago, into the small frame, "give me the 
thing" is there a playlist of essential clips? 


Mon dieu! At my library we have the gall to debate whether student staff can 
use the lunch room. 


Do you wanna say hello to my special fren?

So this is happening. not right away, but eventually, probably next academic 
year. 
If other academic library media folk have made this transition, I'd love 
advice/tips for planning and implementing the change, especially regarding 
student staff-- 
for example, when did you start cross-training? and how did you do it? (manual, 
workshops, shadowing?) 
how did you establish reporting lines and accountability? 
how did you handle merging two groups of student workers with distinct 
organizational cultures? 
thanks, collective wisdom!

[Videolib] HBO documentaries story

I found this on the daily FlipBoard feed. 


So tell me, how does it play in Poughkeepsie? 




"With the network having already had a hand in 2014's two nonfiction Oscar 
winners—Laura Poitras' feature-length Citizenfour (which HBO broadcast the day 
after it first secured a nomination) and Ellen Goosenberg Kent's short Crisis 
Hotline: Veterans Press 1— the past two months of 2015 have definitively proven 
that HBO is now the epicenter of great documentary cinema."

backup plan. It seems logical to me to place a 108 notice on the record, but on 
the other hand, why make that an obvious "come on, make my day" challenge. It's 
lawful ... why would it need to be mentioned on the record?

Have you seen an exceptional recent nonfiction DVD release that you'd like to 
share? If so, please let us know! 

The deadline for submission of nominees for the 2015 ALA Notable Videos for 
Adults list is December 1st, 2014. 

Each year a committee comprised of VRT members selects the best fifteen 
nonfiction, educational, performance or how-to titles released during the 
previous and current calendar years. The committee makes its selections during 
the ALA Midwinter Meeting and the list is published in Booklist . 
If you are a librarian and not affiliated with a video producer or distributor 
, you can suggest titles for the committee's consideration. 
We want your suggestions! You don't have to be a VRT or Notables committee 
member to nominate titles. Nomination does not indicate endorsement by the 
Committee. 


If you would like to recommend a video, please read the criteria and selection 
procedures first, then fill out the suggestion form .

No, you are correct. 

The AIME v UCLA case was dismissed based on UCLA's sovereign immunity from 
being sued, and AIME's lack of standing (AIME did not hold the copyright). 
Unfortunately, the judge hearing the case did not stop there and muddied the 
waters with points about UCLA having acquired PPR for the titles in question, 
and other points. The the case was NOT decided based on merits. 

Some have (incorrectly, in my opinion) interpreted the case as being a victory 
for libraries and essentially permitting digitization. But long story short, 
there has been no case law established on either side of the issue of libraries 
digitizing without permission. 

SOME libraries are applying a fair-use argument for digitizing legally acquired 
content for course reserve, bolstered in part by the ruling in the Georgia 
State University case.

libraries (to be presented at the National Media Market in November, and

POST: For God’s Sake, Stop Digitizing Paper 

18 Sep 2014 | dh+lib review · Post 

Joshua Ranger has written a post on the AVPreserve blog that calls on 
archivists (and others) to examine their digitization practices and priorities. 
Arguing that audiovisual materials are in greater danger of obsolescence, 
Ranger declares, “We should agree to stop digitizing paper and other stable 
formats for a set period because, in a way, it is bad for preservation.” Though 
his focus in on audiovisual materials, Ranger draws attention to the underlying 
rationale for digitization in general. He notes: 


[A] lot of digitization work is essentially a wasted effort if it needs to be 
done again for access, or future preservation work, if files, access portals, 
metadata, and digital humanities projects are lost. And I’m not just saying 
lost as in the fretting about the unreliability of digital files, but lost due 
to human failure in managing servers, migrating data, or letting websites go 
dead.

Feature films are readily available from any number of vendors, so if
there is a sudden demand, libraries can choose to acquire more
titles/copies, they are not particularly hard to find.

Re: [Videolib] Your reactions to streaming terms?

2014-08-07 Thread Randal Baier
If this were something like "Essential Blue Eye" or "Killing Us Softly 4, 5, 6, 
Infinity" that I could guarantee over 700 annual viewings, then the perpetuity 
cost might be worth it. But we would not have the funds for this kind of 
license. I would get the DVD for ca. $250 and work with the prof. to figure out 
how to watch it. [granted that's complicated with online only classes and 
remote locations of class members] 


Another way to finance might be a course media fee of $x.00 / film, but on our 
campus these technology fees never reach the direct department to which they 
best apply. They end up in general funds. "Your tech fees at work" might just 
as easily be paying an administrator's salary as they are covering the cost of 
lab equipment or screening fees for BIO101 and COMM200. 


Ok, not just to pick on administrators. Could be paying for faculty salary as 
well.

Hey All, 

Deg, I wouldn't license this film either unless they were willing to negotiate 
things down to more reasonable terms on your end of things. In fact, I'd give 
them specific feedback as to why I wouldn't be doing business with them. 

I once had an instructor who absolutely needed a particular set of films to 
stream for their class. The licensing terms on the filmmaker's end were rather 
complex. For instance, the filmmaker wanted to charge a royalty fee based on 
the number of students enrolled in the class per semester. I was able to 
negotiate a little with the filmmaker on that one since the instructor was 
quite adamant about needing to use it in their class. I then told the 
instructor that the library would license it for that particular semester only 
and, if they needed it for another class, their department was on the hook for 
paying for the licensed material instead.

I have no idea of the language but it is a very different situation. There is 
no contract or license when you buy a standard Hollywood DVD. It is physical 
item covered by standard copyright laws including "face to face" I don't belong 
iTunes or any downloading service for music of film but know they have specific 
terms that you have to agree to when you join and this would constitute a 
contract which can have terms that restrict what a user can do and those rules 
can go well beyond what is permitted by copyright law. Basically iTunes can 
indeed put in all kinds of restrictions which the buyer is legally obliged to 
follow. Not that everyone does but libraries far more than individuals could 
get in serious trouble if they did not. This is why I think the goal should be 
do negotiate with rights holders and explain libraries need for physical copies 
or at least something that can be lent and used under "face to face"

I think Dennis means "reductio ad absurdum," but who's counting? And for that 
matter, fish need no bicycles.

Medici.tv, Naxos music library, classical music.com (?) ... They all have good 
licensed products, not cheap, but workable for "lending." Maybe the iTunes 
issue really boils down to sheer profit potential ... Katy Perry dressed up as 
Madame Butterfly makes millions, one track a a time. Mme. BFly at Glyndebourne 
does not. Although given the latest production of MB I might be proven wrong!

I have no idea of the language but it is a very different situation. There
is no contract or license when you buy a standard Hollywood DVD. It is
physical item covered by standard copyright laws including "face to face" I
don't belong iTunes or any downloading service for music of film but know
they have specific terms that you have to agree to when you join and this
would constitute a contract which can have terms that restrict what a user
can do and those rules can go well beyond what is permitted by copyright
law. Basically iTunes can indeed put in all kinds of restrictions which the
buyer is legally obliged to follow. Not that everyone does but libraries
far more than individuals could get in serious trouble if they did not.
This is why I think the goal should be do negotiate with rights holders and
explain libraries need for physical copies or at least something that can
be lent and used under "face to face"

Dear videolibbers, 


Some of you have probably already heard that I have accepted a new position, 
and will leave NMM by the end of the month. 


The really good news is that Jessica Hammond will be replacing me. Jessica has 
been with The Video Project since 2010, has attended several Markets and has 
served on the NMM Board of Directors. Jessica will bring new energy and fresh 
ideas and the Market will continue to flourish with her leadership. 


It has been a pleasure to work with you over the last 10 years. I thank you for 
your support and patience with the inevitable glitches and unforeseen 
challenges (who can forget the broken pipes at the Mesa Hilton….) and wish all 
of you the very best and huge budgets!

 Journal of Video Ethnography
Call for Reviewers
The newly launched Journal of Video Ethnography (JVE) is a venture of DePaul 
University's Social
Science Research Center.
JVE is the first ever peer-reviewed journal of ethnographic films and videos. 
The aim of this
journal is to advance the social scientific use of video/film as a method for 
exploring human
society, systems, and cultures and as a medium for presenting the findings of 
those explorations.
Our primary objective is to establish a mechanism for the peer review of films 
that have social
science ideas at their core. We expect that most submissions will come from 
academics who
make films. This said, we also aspire to bridge the gap between academia and 
commercial
documentary film and to provide a vehicle for the distribution of films by 
non-academic
filmmakers whose films constitute an ethnographic point of view on a culture, 
group or
phenomenon.
Published twice a year, the journal accepts public submissions that are each 
evaluated by a
panel of two or three anonymous peer reviewers representing a wide range of 
disciplines but all
sharing a commitment to social science ethnography. Submissions for the premier 
edition of the
journal will open on March 1. The first issue will appear on September 1, 2014.
If you have experience in documentary filmmaking, social science, ethnographic 
research,
and/or visual arts, please consider becoming a reviewer for JVE. While there is 
no pay, you'll
play an important part in the creation of a pioneering journal of peer reviewed 
ethnographic
films and videos.
Each reviewer will be responsible for watching and preparing brief written 
evaluations of three
ethnographic films per year. All reviews will be conducted in a “single blind” 
manner; that is,
reviewers will know the identity of the filmmaker whose film is submitted for 
review, but the
filmmaker will not know the identities of the reviewers.
If you’re interested in serving as a JVE reviewer or know of other potential 
candidates please
contact me at gsc...@depaul.edu. For more information about JVE, be sure to 
check out our
website at JVE www.videoethno.com.

I usually leave that alone. It's up to the faculty member to follow these 
limitations also. In general, if a few people come to a class, during the 
published class time, I don't consider that much of an issue. They are probably 
tangentially related, although not technically enrolled. 

If someone breaks out popcorn, well, has the threshold been compromised? Does 
the center hold? I'd say the center still holds. What if they add butter? 
Still, it's within the field of the mutual co-prosperity sphere. 

Next level, is it out of the classroom, or at another time, are there flyers? 
Have they added a public address system and a campus tuk-tuk driving around 
that announces "Documentary on Body Piercing. WGSTLBRTWQ Dept. 5pm. Discussion 
at 11." The centrifugal awareness starts to intervene, things are beginning to 
fall apart. Hmm, maybe it's time for a little hint of P(PR). 

And finally -- "Hey we found this video for $19.95 on Amazon even though Icarus 
is selling it for $500. Let's do a campus special showing and get the 
auditorium!" Ok, at this point the atom has been split. 

You know, Shelley Berman used to do a routine related to this, albeit in 
50s-style irony, and on a 33 1/3 rpm LP to boot, about a first kiss on a first 
date. 



<< Father's advice to his daughter on a first date. (apologies to Shelley 
Berman) >> 

"OK, it's your first date, and he's gonna bring you to the door, and your gonna 
wonder  

The first kiss, that's his business,  

The second kiss, that's your business,  

The third kiss (dad looking through the curtains) . that's MY BUSINESS!! 
.. " 





hahahahahhahhaa  now, go out and get your quota.

Hi 


I'm interested in what, if anything, other academic librarians do if they get 
wind of a screening of non-PPR dvds that they acquired at the request of a 
professor -- screenings which are for class curricular use but to which the 
campus community is also invited (though it's very unlikely that many from 
outside the class will show up). Do you play cop? Say nothing? Send the 
professor a note after the fact? Something else? 


Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi all, 

My colleague purchased a TV series for his library which turned out to be an 
illegal copy shipped from China and marked with handmade labels. It sounds like 
he used http://www.classicdvdworld.com/ . See their FAQs: 
http://www.classicdvdworld.com/FAQ_ep_42.html 

The seller is offering a full refund minus postage if the discs are returned, 
but the librarian is thinking about how to report this to authorities. Do you 
think he should? If so, how should he proceed? 

The National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center has a page at 
http://www.iprcenter.gov/referral which says, “The IPR Center encourages 
members of the general public, industry, trade associations, law enforcement 
and government agencies to report violations of intellectual property rights 
through this website.” Would that be a good place to start? 

Otherwise, the FBI has a tips page at https://tips.fbi.gov/ . Or maybe it would 
be better to contact a local/regional FBI office directly? 

Thanks.

I don't think anyone has mentioned "Finally got the news" yet,  which is on the 
Icarus site.  I would highly recommend it . 

"... reveals the activities of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers inside 
and outside the auto factories of Detroit."

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

[Videolib] whereabouts of script for Corwin/Prosperi "Naked Maja" (1959)

2014-01-22 Thread Randal Baier
A colleague and I are trying to find any kind of script or remnant of the 
screenplay for Naked Maja (1959), which was originally written by Norman Corwin 
, with subsequent rewrites by Georgio Prosperi and two others. Apparently 
Corwin was very disappointed by the project and tried to have his name taken 
off the credits. Indeed, there is no copy in Corwin's estate papers, nor in the 
online finding aid at Syracuse University. 


I'm wondering if anyone has come across information about this script in the 
course of their work, or if there may be some other lines of inquiry that I 
might take? 


Sincerely ...

We have weeded about 340 titles from our VHS collection and would prefer to

there isn't anything on the list that isn't already available on DVD. 
Experimental films dominate the list but there are other genres as well. Anyone

I've been trying to follow the conversation but I'm out of the country.

We don't own any steaming content to my knowledge. But we do own the DVDs of 
everything we stream. At least so far. 

Wait that's not Entirely true. We license the group package statewide from 
Alexander Street press ... That's a lot of video, None of it we own. But it's 
not an on demand setup.

I'll ask our col-dev person about it.

Randal, does the library ever own the streaming content after a certain amount 
of views?

Now I'm wondering if any of the streaming vendors have tried out the patron 
driven acquisition model being used for e-books.

Hi Laura, well here are two examples in the shape of an "idee"not an answer.

We own and stream "killing us softly 4" which cost us about $350 inc. the 
streaming Fee. We have at least 700 people per year watching that film at least 
once, so $0.50 per view.

On the other hand we own "sweetgrass, " which i bought for both aesthetic and 
sociological reasons, at about the same price, and we have maybe 6 viewings per 
year. what is that, $50+ per view per year?

maybe somewhere there is a better balance overall from a collection point of 
view .

That's all, i have no real answer, but i think some of the "pay per class" rent 
when you need it schemes might work.

The one thing that does concern me is the Neo-liberal "everyone pays their own 
way" concept that seems to be behind some of this. Yet another fee added to 
student course costs, etc.

Re: [Videolib] Public Librarians... Hoopla??

2013-08-08 Thread Randal Baier

Hi Laura, well here are two examples in the shape of an "idee"not an answer. 

We own and stream "killing us softly 4" which cost us about $350 inc. the 
streaming Fee. We have at least 700 people per year watching that film at least 
once, so $0.50 per view. 

On the other hand we own "sweetgrass, " which i bought for both aesthetic and 
sociological reasons, at about the same price, and we have maybe 6 viewings per 
year. what is that, $50+ per view per year? 

maybe somewhere there is a better balance overall from a collection point of 
view . 

That's all, i have no real answer, but i think some of the "pay per class" rent 
when you need it schemes might work. 

The one thing that does concern me is the Neo-liberal "everyone pays their own 
way" concept that seems to be behind some of this. Yet another fee added to 
student course costs, etc.

Cheers, Randal Baier

INteresting aspects, all. And visual intrigue to be sure. 


But, whoa, Nellie! What is the nature f the course here? Are we talking about 
teaching 1st/2nd year anthro students who haven't declared a major , or are we 
looking at satisfying the needs of gossipy graduate students jaded on the

Hi Jeff, 

José Padilha's Secrets of the Tribe would be an interesting fit. It's a 'film 
that documents a "he said-he said" war of egos fought among ethically dubious 
anthropologists on opposing sides of a theoretical debate that includes 
accusations of genocide and pederasty.' Rather incriminating tale of Napoleon 
Chagnon & Jacques Lizot's treatment of the Yanomami tribe in the Amazon. Could 
work well if the professor was interested in academic/accepted memory in

2013-06-19 Thread Randal Baier
The author takes no responsibility for the offense that some may take to his 
hubris, but he does apologize beforehand for his flippant ways. 

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.

At a community college where I once worked, the muckety-mucks were all hepped 
up on "restructuring," so I attempted to get our boring "Learning Technologies" 
media crew renamed and redressed. (Wait, the crew were not boring, the label 
was!) 


Of course, techies love all black outfits rather than Lands End "Team Audio" 
preppy polos, and a certain cool factor, so I tried "Media Ninjas" with some 
kind of dynamic XLR looking weapon across the back of the t-shirts. 


It was looked at askance, but  nothing ventured, nothing gained. 


And of course, since ninjas are basically out to kill the shogun, I guess there 
was a certain metaphorical inconsistency with the imaginary.

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

Re: [Videolib] Does your library have a theatre?

2013-05-03 Thread Randal Baier
We have an auditorium, not really a theater, which holds about 100. Limited 
lighting control, but the house lights do dim all the way down, seats are 
bolted swivel chairs with retractable writing boards. So it's used for classes, 
guest lectures, presentations, meetings, heartfelt political debates, panel 
discussions and film series (video, not film). And possibly 993 other uses

How would I figure out the resources of a particular school? Of
course, it's easy to figure out if a particular institution is a
community college or not, but it seems that there could be a dozen
ways to slice it up (size, acq budget, etc.) which might just create
more confusion for the librarians and trouble for me. I'd like to make
the process as simple as possible while offering a fair price (and
still make some money).

Re: [Videolib] Public Performance Rights for Clips?

Re: the audio aspect

At our institution we have a blanket license for using music in public events 
such as graduations and so forth. It covers "happy birthday" and "we are the 
champions" and other top media wonders. I'm not sure if that is limited by 
format, I.e. if it only means played from an audio recording or live vs. a song 
coming from the "Independence Day" video DVD. I think it covers all of it.

Re: [Videolib] Films on Demand vs. VAST

overlap, between VAST and the ASP Dance in Video collection? I don't have a way

Subject: Re: [Videolib] Films on Demand vs. VAST 



Hi all, 

Please let me introduce myself. I am Jordan White, the new product manager for 
VAST: Academic Video Online . We listen to our customers and video advisors a 
lot—so thank you all for your thoughts. 

A couple points in response to the discussion here regarding MARC records and 
what’s included in VAST: 

First, we create all of our own MARC records, which are then offered to OCLC 
for inclusion in their program. OCLC has reported issues recently with their 
ability to process these in a timely fashion and are working to resolve this as 
quickly as possible. If you’d like a manual download of MARC records, we can 
give you this in the interim—just email us. 

Second, Filmakers Library Online , our cross-disciplinary collection of 1,013 
award-winning documentaries available exclusively through Alexander Street, is 
included in its entirety in VAST—this is the complete “backfile” of Filmakers 
Library titles through 2012, all there today in VAST. (A small, optional “2013 
update” collection will be offered soon—around 100 films signed during the 
current calendar year that will not be included in VAST.) 

VAST should not be viewed as “all of Alexander Street’s videos in a package.” 
VAST is a collection crafted specifically to serve undergraduate programs 
across your departments, covering dozens of subject areas—more than 16,300 
titles today, reaching 20,000+ titles by June 1 of this year, and continuing to 
grow. 

In addition to VAST we offer thousands more videos through various discipline 
collections, for libraries who want lots more content in particular subject 
areas. We make these additional videos available in collections (e.g., 
Counseling and Therapy in Video: Volume II ) and sometimes also as single 
titles on DVD or streaming. 

In other words, VAST does not and cannot include all of our videos. The product 
would be too expensive; it would include content that’s specialized and 
irrelevant to many libraries; and occasionally, producers choose to exclude 
their content from VAST. (One example is that while we do have films from 
California Newsreel in VAST, the producer specified that some content remain 
exclusive to our specialized Black Studies in Video collection.) 

What VAST is—it’s a powerful tool for undergraduate research and scholarship. 
We grow it by selecting 400 or more complete videos each month. We’re pushing 
the frontier of what it will include—both in a steady stream of new partners 
(National Geographic, Frontline, Bill Moyers) and in formats (documentaries, 
interviews, demonstrations, complete feature films, interviews, and forthcoming 
political speeches, public television series). “Pushing the frontier” also 
means new tools coming in April that will let you upload local content, search 
beyond our content to the Web through our semantic indexing, and create and 
share custom learning tools and apps. 

Thanks again for your feedback. If I can answer questions or hear your ideas, 
please reach out to me by e-mail at jwh...@astreetpress.com or by phone at 
1-800-889-5937 x 307. I look forward to getting to know you!

Hi Deg, 

There are some important things to clarify: 
Yes, MARC records from ASP are better than FMG, however you get only half from 
ASP, whatever they find in OCLC and whatever is not there, you don't get it. So 
you end up with a lot of titles not in your catalog. FMG just re-did their 
records. As a matter of fact we are downloading them right now (all the FMG 
records again), so we will see how better they really are or not. 

Having VAST is different than having the individual collections. We have the 
counseling collection and the music collection and they are very good. With 
VAST, you don't get all the videos from Filmmakers Library, you just get only a 
few and not the ones you really use. Same thing with California Newsreel. 
So as you said we cannot compare VAST with the individual collections from ASP. 

I am very disappointed with VAST, reason why we got instead of the individual 
collection was price, they put it in a way that getting individual collections 
was way more money than VAST and why not VAST was supposed to have 
everything... 
Believe with VAST you get a lot of stuff you never want to have 

My 2 cents

Good point, Jessica -- I missed that in the FAQs. 

L uckily, thanks to advice on this list, we purchased an ODDO multi-format 
player this year, so we can play PAL if need be, and other formats too. 

Thanks again.

I never heard of Arrow either. One issue would be if all the players you plan 
to use are multi system and can handle PAL format.

[Videolib] Chutney

2012-12-22 Thread Randal Baier
by any chance does anyone have a copy of Gary Handman's chutney recipe, which 
he circulated last year and other times?

Lost mine in the cloud somewhere, and it's difficult to reverse engineer apart 
from the hazelnuts!
