Thanks deg! And ditto on the absence in the literature of workflow and 
collection development decision making for streaming! Having recently completed 
a literature review specifically on library workflows for streaming video, I 
can wholeheartedly agree that this is an area in need of filling in the 
literature. My colleagues and I recently identified and documented such a 
workflow (which ended up becoming 8 pages of workflow diagrams) for our 
library. We are currently refining the workflow docs and wrapping up an article 
on the topic which we hope to submit somewhere. Sharing this potential 
publishing opportunity (and any others) is most welcome!

Re: neglected in the literature, I would add the related topic of guidelines 
for workflow and collection management decision making for weeding (and 
selective preservation of Audio Video At Risk) fixed materials.  If you can 
think of some published decision trees and/or additional case studies for 
physical a/v media, I welcome the referral (one colleague has shared their 
experience with me generally, and it has been very useful).

Dear CW,

Is there any chance Peter Brook's version of King Lear (1971) will be released 
on DVD again in the US?  It is the one starring Paul Scofield.  I can find a 
few Region 2 DVDs on the market but they are very expensive.  Also, some of 
them are the Italian version.

Thank you for any help with this matter.

Yours truly,

The item is still use for course reserve at one of our campuses. Unfortunately,

Hi Folks,

Completely informal straw poll-- Cadillac Desert continues to be incredibly 
popular on our campus and I regularly receive inquiries from video librarians 
and teachers who are desperately trying to purchase new replacements for their 
VHS tapes (the set is not currently in distribution, though the filmmaker, a UC 
Berkeley faculty member, has long been hoping to re-release it).

For those who might have convenient access to circ statistics, I would 
appreciate hearing back off-list by Thursday evening how many times the 
programs have circulated at your libraries-- and if the series continues to be 
popular today.

Many thanks,
Gisele

Hi All,

The Handmaid's Tale is not even available via pay per view. I've done a lot of 
searching but don't even find new copies of the DVD for sale.
Anybody know the story behind it? Did the rights expire and no one wants to 
renew? Or, does the rights holder not want to reissue or stream it?

Normally I'd contact producer/director (Wolfgang Glattes/Volker Schlondorffbut) 
being a feature film I'm figuring it won't turn up anything.
IMDB show Cinecom Pictures had the theatrical rights, MGM the DVD, HBO the VHS, 
Image Entertainment the video.
The DVD or stream does not turn up on HBO or MGM websites. I'm not turning up 
anything for Cinecom and I've written to Image Entertainment.

It is quite frequently requested for classes here at UConn.

Re: [Videolib] due date slips for av material?

[Reynolds, Jo Ann]

We did away with printed receipts/date due slips this summer. So far no 
problems. Auto generated email notices go out to patron with date due right 
after checkout and then a reminder is sent when the items are coming due and 
another when they are overdue. Does not seem to be generating problems so far.

Greetings everyone and apologies for cross-posting,

We are exploring the idea of going paperless and doing away with due date slips 
for books. Before extending this to media materials, I'm curious to know if any 
of you with circulating CD and/or DVD collections have already abandoned the 
due date slip and, if so, how you inform patrons about due dates and how this 
has worked to get materials returned on time.

[Videolib] video acquisition models

[Reynolds, Jo Ann]

HI All,

Just curious if there are any universities out there where there is no media 
librarian and acquisition of films (DVD & streaming) is done by subject 
liaisons. Wondering how this works for you. How does a group of people keep up 
to date with a fast changing and diverse industry as opposed to one person who 
specializes in film and is familiar with the copyright law as it applies to 
film and with the various "license" permutations from vendors for DVDs as well 
as streaming. Happy to hear from supporters as well as detractors of this model.

Thanks!

[Videolib] Venmill Hybrid

The supply line to the cleaning solution on our Venmill Hybrid keeps drying out

We try to use it every day but sometimes it goes a week without being used.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
I've tried putting the cleaning solution uptake line into a bottle with warm 
water but that did not work.
I think it needs angioplasty.
Anyone have a fix for this?

Although it's easy to use I'm not so happy with it right now.

Re: [Videolib] friday q - what if....

[Reynolds, Jo Ann]

Hi Lorraine and List,

We put the DVD (or VHS) on reserve.
We also look for online pay per view sources.
We let them know when it is not available on pay per view (that we can find, 
anyway, with a reasonable search).

Just updated pay per view sites on my libguide.  Fan TV is beating out 
canistream.it for title accessibility.
http://classguides.lib.uconn.edu/content.php?pid=52331=428612

Feedback on new pay per view sites is appreciated.

Best,
Jo Ann

Hi all,

First, thank you all for the feedback on the VHS > DVD topic this week.  Very 
helpful, always, even the arguments.



How about this one?  I'm always curious regarding things like this - I have 
faculty (with online class) that want to 'stream' All About My Mother and 
Normal Heart.



Normal Heart is HBO (and HBO GO).

All About Mom is Sony Pictures Classics



All About Mom they could rent from Amazon Video, that's only $3.99

Not sure of HBO GO.



When you have faculty that want films not avail from streaming (esp in online 
setting), are they SOL? Or the faculty suggest to the students ways to watch on 
their own?  Both of these titles 'should' be readily avail at video stores, 
libraries.



Thanks for any advice,

best,

Re: [Videolib] Native Son

[Reynolds, Jo Ann]

Points well taken, Dennis.

It is true that copyright law is becoming more, not sure what the correct 
description would be, contentious?, visible?, but as ill understood as ever.

My agreement was with the Section 108 issues and the misinformation that swirls 
around Section 108 (but also extends to the sale, or rather, “lease” of DVDs 
wherein content owners attempt to control their content with a lease rather 
than a sale and often promulgate misinformation about classroom use. Many times 
I have been told I must pay for classroom use as a public performance.

I happen to agree with Terry and deg except for this:

"Copyright law has shifted far far to the side of protections for content 
creators."

That's just not true and Jo Ann, this would also be an example of 
misinformation. Access has never been cheaper (anyone remember $2000 for a 16mm 
lease?) because of the Sony decision, easier to acquire and project, and 
frankly, so much of it is online for free illegally (and here I agree with 
Jessica -- being used by some educators) that you may say that the laws and 
court decisions have been in favor of the content creators, but in practice, 
the copyright holders have never had less power than we do now. Twenty years 
ago, film clips in documentaries were practically never based on fair use. 
Thanks to Mark Rappaport and Thom Andersen among others, it's widely accepted 
now.

Here's a test. How many of you have watched a David Bowie video this week that 
wasn't put up by the copyright owner? (Me too.)

Every time I take an illegal upload of one of Milestone's copyrighted films 
down from YouTube, there have already been thousands of viewers and ten more 
copies pop up in its place. Same for other sites as well including Vimeo and 
yes, even Archive.org. And let's face it, most of the copyright laws after the 
Sonny Bono act in 1998 have been in favor of education.

My true belief is that the lack of funding for media in education by the 
government and by your institutions has made the content owners the scapegoat. 
There! I said it. ;-)

Re: [Videolib] Promised Land

I would say yes, the section 108 copy could proceed since there is not a 
replacement copy available for a reasonable price. I would not consider a term

If a due diligence search for a replacement copy under Section  108 pf US

Can the library proceed with a copy made under provisions of Section 108.

I received today a email from a video distributor with the following details 
for streaming their content:  (I am removed any reference to the distributor's

Giving students online access to (our) videos is as easy as 1-2-3.

1. Determine the video(s) you or your department will need for the year, how 
many students need to view, and whether learners will access the videos via our 
LMS or yours*.

2. Find your pricing on the chart below

# of Users


1st Video


Addt'l Videos


1-50


$395


$100 each


51-100


$595


$150 each


101-150


$895


$200 each


151-200


$1,100


$250 each

Call if you need pricing for more than 200 users.

For example, say your department needs to stream 3 videos for various courses 
to be offered throughout the year, and expects to need access for anywhere from 
80-100 students.
You would pick User Level 2 (51-100) and your price would be $895 ($595 for the 
first title, $150 each for the 2nd and 3rd titles.) This equates to $2.98 per 
student per video.
Note: This type of subscription would give you 100 logins; each login would 
have unlimited access to all three videos. (You would not have 100 logins for 
each video separately. For that type of usage, please ask us about 
"pay-per-view".)

3. Call or email us with your order! We'll quickly get you set up on our 
platform, or send you a file for each video chosen.

-

I wrote back to the vendor and gave them a blunt statement that this model is 
unacceptable, unscalable, and far out strips even the most expensive of 
streaming licenses out there.

What say the rest of you?  Did you receive the same "offer"?

Another issue is that this seems all directed (understandably) and non fiction 
"educational media" For the most part feature films ( including many 
documentaries) are only not available with lifetime streaming and there is zero 
chance major studios would ever do it and in my mind little chance many indie 
feature and foreign rights holder would. You have a wide range of issues from 
say Citizen Kane to  Wild Strawberries were you can get a physical DVD and 
streaming rights of usually a year ( maybe  3 on Wild not sure), then you have 
the issue we have discussed where say Sony Classics won't ever license for 
streaming and Netflix won't make physical DVD copies. Basically I think 
everyone needs to be flexible but again I strongly advice buying a physical 
copy whenever you can.

Re: [Videolib] No more DVDs?

[Reynolds, Jo Ann]

For UConn also, the only equivalent of a DVD purchase is streaming video with 
perpetual rights, or at the very least, life of file format. Chris’ comments on 
how DVDs are used is classes is the same here.

The cost of licensing a stream for short terms is just too prohibitive. It 
limits the amount of new material we can purchase to have to pay for the same 
material over and over again. We just don’t have the budget for it.

For me, the only equivalent for a DVD purchase is a streaming video with 
in-perpetuity rights that we can host locally. We have many VHS tapes and DVDs 
from companies like Carousel, Films Inc., and LAVA that have gone out of 
business - but we can still use their titles because we own a tangible version. 
That wouldn't be the case if the only option was to license a streaming version 
hosted by the distributor.
I understand that this is the direction the studios are headed because the 
average person has adapted to using Netflix, iTunes. etc. but teaching needs 
are different and specialized documentaries (or features) that are perfect for 
a given class may be used regularly long after a distributor has gone out of 
business. It's just the way that classes get taught. Some professors figure out 
a lesson plan and more or less set it on autopilot for a couple decades.  So my 
hope was that independent educational distributors would be at the tail end of 
the DVD weaning process.

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

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

I’m serious in asking this question, I think it may be time to take a (perhaps)

With our current policy we would pass on the purchase. We just wouldn’t buy it. 
Maybe, if it was really cheap we would but it’s also the labor cost of 
maintaining a teaching collection that one has to keep checking to see if the

My question though is: What if you can’t get the DVD?

And if we only offer a 1 or 3 year license (Say for the sake of argument), and 
professor wants to use a film – what do you do?

​I concur with Jo Ann and Chris.  Perpetuity for streaming or life of file 
format.  DVDs for those titles we can't get streaming.

For UConn also, the only equivalent of a DVD purchase is streaming video with 
perpetual rights, or at the very least, life of file format. Chris’ comments on 
how DVDs are used is classes is the same here.

The cost of licensing a stream for short terms is just too prohibitive. It 
limits the amount of new material we can purchase to have to pay for the same 
material over and over again. We just don’t have the budget for it.

For me, the only equivalent for a DVD purchase is a streaming video with 
in-perpetuity rights that we can host locally. We have many VHS tapes and DVDs 
from companies like Carousel, Films Inc., and LAVA that have gone out of 
business - but we can still use their titles because we own a tangible version. 
That wouldn't be the case if the only option was to license a streaming version 
hosted by the distributor.
I understand that this is the direction the studios are headed because the 
average person has adapted to using Netflix, iTunes. etc. but teaching needs 
are different and specialized documentaries (or features) that are perfect for 
a given class may be used regularly long after a distributor has gone out of 
business. It's just the way that classes get taught. Some professors figure out 
a lesson plan and more or less set it on autopilot for a couple decades.  So my 
hope was that independent educational distributors would be at the tail end of 
the DVD weaning process.

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!

Curiously yours,

Re: [Videolib] preferred streaming service

[Reynolds, Jo Ann]

Ditto for the University of Connecticut with what Deg, Carla, and others have 
said about purchasing in perpetuity, hosting our own streams, and purchasing 
subscriptions. Much, much prefer to purchase in perpetuity whether we host or 
the vendor does.

Best,

I agree with everything Deg has said. While we do have subscriptions to film 
databases such as Alexander Street Press and Films on Demand I find it much 
more preferable to purchase titles on a case-by-case bases with perpetual 
streaming rights.

I am the media librarian for a large public university.

It is my preference to be able to purchase videos directly, with streaming 
rights in perpetuity (life of file).

I know that I am not alone in this preference and that many other librarians 
that I know, do not want an access model that requires us to repeatedly re-pay 
for the same content.

We are accustomed to purchasing a DVD and owning the DVD for loan or classroom 
use.  Having to pay for a title again after one or three years (a predominant 
licensing model) saps our acquisition budgets and limits our ability to acquire 
additional new content.

Many of us have our own hosting systems.  While we may (and most of us do) 
license content served on different companies¹ servers:  Films on Demand, 
Docuseek2, Ambrose, Alexander Street, etc. (all of which offer us purchase 
opportunity in addition to term licensing) some prefer to host the content 
locally and do not need to rely on the hosting from another company.

It is not necessary to limit your content to one service provider. Your 
streaming rights do not have to be exclusive. You can make your titles 
available on Alexander Street AND on Kanopy; on Films on Demand AND on NewDay. 
Or on all providers. AND, still license the rights to individual libraries.

I am certain other librarians on this list will have other comments to make.
