Re: [Videolib] Surveys for Users of Library Video Collections?

2016-08-01 Thread scott spicer
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.

Best,
Scott

Re: [Videolib] Streaming media in collection development policy (Laura Jenemann)

2016-02-01 Thread scott spicer
Hi Laura,

We had A/V integrated into various subject collection development policies,
but nothing that expressly called out streaming.  Therefore, I developed
this Recommended Title Level Licensed Streaming Selection Criteria
guidelines (
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wFEfq4AQf0vOq0QMteJ-MllmuxMQEiGC4SY_mQXQR_4/edit?usp=sharing)
with colleagues.  Note: this guide has been vetted internally with various
UMN Libraries staff and groups, though I would not consider it necessarily
as an official streaming collection development policy, but more as a
guidance document.

Best,
Scott

Hi Everyone,

In response to the increase in some unusual, highly restrictive DVD
purchase usage terms, we are developing some internal guidelines for
agreeing, denying, or negotiating terms.  Does anyone have such documented
physical media purchase guidelines (e.g., as a stand alone document or part
of a CDP)?  If so, please feel free to share here or contact me directly.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, there are many like myself who are unable to attend.  If we
do have this forum, my guidance would be to seek some kind of mechanism for
remote live participation if at all possible (e.g., Hangout, Skype, WebEx,
etc..) for at least part of the discussion.

Re: [Videolib] lab protocol videos

2015-08-13 Thread scott spicer
Laura, I guess that depends on what you mean by anything similar to JoVE?


   - If you are talking about a STEM journal that includes virtually 100%
   video abstracts on each article, than I am not aware one (to approximate,
   see video abstract article below for potential publishing venues that offer
   similar content in discipline specific journals)


   - At the risk of a shameless plug, if you are talking about STEM
   journals that offer the option and frequently include video abstracts with
   their articles, there are several of them highlighted in my article last
   year on the topic and related data set.  You could also find many of these
   video abstracts curated on the WeShareScience website (
   https://wesharescience.com/)

   Spicer, S. (2014). Exploring Video Abstracts in Science Journals: An
   Overview and Case Study. *Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly
   Communication* 2(2):eP1110. http://dx.doi.org/10.7710/2162-3309.1110


   - If you are talking about journals that have articles that sometimes
   include video content of lab experiments, some of those experiments are
   occasionally included in certain video abstracts or separately as
   supplemental content files; found using a database such as ScienceDirect
   (use image search engine, further limit to video post results)


   - If you are talking about online scholarly science research videos in
   general you could check out resources such as the TIB|AV portal (
   https://av.getinfo.de/?20), the aforementioned WeShareScience or even
   sites such as ScienceCinema (DOE) http://www.osti.gov/sciencecinema/ if
   you have a specific discipline in mind.

   Hope this helps.

 Hi Scott,

 We do still maintain our 'worldwide' VHS players, although like you,
 they're receiving less and less use as international DVDs become more
 widely utilized for not-available-commercially-in-the-U.S. titles.

 We maintain three -- one in our viewing carrels that students can use,
 one in our Media Research Room (basically a faculty media study), and
 one in our Viewing Room (multimedia projection room which can be
 scheduled for class screenings).  I'm glad we have several after reading
 that they are becoming harder to come by!  We have a robust study abroad
 program, so we regularly get folks who bring materials back from a
 country with different standards / region codings and are surprised when
 they won't work on their players.  Also, we have a popular ELI program
 and students occasionally want to view something they've brought from
 home. (Although again, we're seeing more DVDs than tapes now, which
 isn't a surprise.)

 As fewer patrons have access to VCRs, I think it's becoming more
 important that we provide access -- especially to cover formats and
 regions, etc., that we have in our collections.  But as we're seeing
 with laserdiscs, there's a limited amount of time where that's a
 realistic goal as far as technology is concerned.

  Until I have the sense that more of our community deems VHS to be

  should offer, but this particular issue is not one that keeps me up at

a whopping 3 times over the past 2 years.  I realize this is imprecise as
what limited use there is of these titles may be viewed in the space
itself.  Further, I have the sense that some of the again limited demand
may come from our users own international collections as well.  So how many
of you are currently providing international VHS playback capability in
your spaces, and do you see this as a critical service for an academic
media center in 2015?

Until I have the sense that more of our community deems VHS to be
officially obsolete, I am kinda on the side that this is something we
should offer, but this particular issue is not one that keeps me up at
night, to be honest.

Best,
Scott

 Rhonda and all,
 
 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 
 expressing Sec. 108 conversion.  If anyone is interested in this list, let me 
 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!
 
 Rhonda: I will email you separately with more information.

Hi Everyone,

We are considering the OnArchitecture.com and I was wondering if any of you
can speak to your experiences with the product?  I defer the quality of
content selection to our Architecture Librarian, but I would be interested
hearing thoughts related to the unique licensing terms, apparent [lack of]
catalog discovery support, apparent barriers to embed within CMS, your user
experiences with the video, and general product perspectives.  Please feel
free to contact me offline, unless you feel your feedback is best shared
with the community.

[Videolib] Future of educational media distribution - institutional obsolescence

2014-10-01 Thread scott spicer
Andrew,

Yes, I agree we should be surveying classroom management professionals to
get our fingers on the pulse of future institutional physical media
classroom support.  Of all the research topics we have discussed, this one
may be the most pressing!  I will follow up with you offline to discuss
further, pending deg's response.


deg: in your study with Jane did you survey classroom management folks on
their plans for future classroom physical media playback support?  If not,
are you (or is anyone else here) aware of a relatively recent study that
has?  I will also research the higher ed. a/v support/educational
technologist literature to see if this issue has been tackled elsewhere.

Thanks,
Scott

PS:  If the classroom player issue isn't enough, heightened federal
regulations for disabled access to online educational materials (equal
access to digitally delivered format) is probably not too far behind.  See

 Hi Scott,

 It would be interesting to attempt a comprehensive survey of the people
 responsible for classroom management at a set of institutions (the
 membership of CCUMC, maybe?) about how long they think it will be before
 they no longer support the use of physical media. I'd be happy to work on
 something like this if you'd like to pursue it further!

 While I enjoy the back and forth on streaming fair use interpretation (and
 by all means please continue), I would also be interested in shifting the
 discussion somewhat to the future of educational media/independent film
 distribution.

 This is more of a pragmatic than legal interpretation issue.  Just a
 provocation here...

 Like many campuses, I suspect, we are likely looking at a 1 to 3 year
 window (5 tops) before we are facing an issue of essentially institutional
 obsolescence.  What is institutional obsolescence?  I define it as the
 point at which standalone VHS/DVD players are no longer available or
 supported in most campus classrooms (regardless of whether the machine or
 device necessary to render perceptible a work stored in that format is no
 longer manufactured or is no longer reasonably available in the commercial
 marketplace, (Sec. 108c(2)) - though VHS is can't be too far away despite
 arguments to the contrary).
 I used to think that the transition from VHS to DVD acquisitions bought us
 some time.  However, with players being proactively pulled from classrooms
 upon remodel or replacement refresh, and a high likelihood that laptops
 will soon no longer come with built-in DVD players (try buying any Macbook
 with one built-in, I've bought 2 in the last nine

Jane,

Thank you, I missed your reply before I posed my question to deg regarding
your study.  If you are considering adding this question, I think it would
be useful for us to touch base.  Just out of curiosity, did you target
classroom management professionals in your survey?  If so, do they
represent multiple levels of higher education and Carnegie classifications?


We believe the institutional obsolescence issue is so important, that it
may require a dedicated study targeted toward the classroom management
audience with care taken to cover multiple levels (e.g., all ARL, NITLE,
AACC institutions).  This is something Andrew and I are interested in
researching, so we would be happy to contribute if you think your survey
could meet this goal.  Otherwise, we may conduct a separate one.

I think these responses could dovetail nicely with your past survey in that
we would also need to get the librarians point of view on what impact
(pressure) lack of classroom playback has or may have on their
perceptions/strategies for scaling digital delivery.

Best,
Scott

Re: [Videolib] library instruction (Brannen, Michelle)

2014-02-21 Thread scott spicer
Though the Media Services unit that I head has both media production and
resources support services in its portfolio, the bulk of my instruction is
similarly customized course media production support.  As Michelle
suggested this can vary according to the assignment and instructor learning
objectives, but typically includes an overview of available campus support
options; production process overview; media project asset management and
backup; suggested equipment, software, and quality composition specific to
the genre of media project (e.g., PSA, digital story, adaptation, vodcast,
etc..);  media resources collections (for mixed media projects);
copyright/fair use; and media attribution.  If the instructor requests it,
we will provide a hands-on workshop for a specific piece of software or
equipment.  I stay away from non-course related, decontextualized software
and equipment instruction.

This is all part of a richer outreach program that might also include for
example, an upfront consultation on the assignment development,
coordination of resources and on-demand production support in the SMART
Learning Commons space that I also provide guidance to, then later class
visit for project screenings, and project debrief to discuss what the
students learned, where we can tweak support next time, and how we can
improve our services where relevant. I have formally supported roughly 150
media projects (~100 unique instructors) over the past five years and I
typically work with about 20 different courses per a semester these days.

The other type of instruction I provide is partnering with our campus IT
department to teach 1-2 workshops a year on approaches and benefits of
integrating media resources and student projects into curriculum (e.g.,
media literacy concepts, learning objectives).  This is an important tool
in convincing instructors to consider evolving their instruction with media
in the first place.

As our digital media collections program is developing, I would be
interested to hear more about the different types of instruction related to
media collections (e.g., general instructor education on library/open media
content, course specific media collections, and pedagogical affordances of
using digital media, such as a flipped model of assigning students BBC
Shakespeare videos to view outside class so they can practice for in class
performances).

Best,
Scott

Re: [Videolib] More proof that media is the redheaded step child

2013-07-16 Thread scott spicer
deg,

I agree with your assertion to a large extent. That said, point of fact,
the report does provide some nods to trends in media intersection with
academic libraries. There are several members of our community, such as
myself, who are additionally engaged in services related to these trends.


Variety of formats (sometimes code for media): (p. 2, Librarians will be
challenged to provide services in a variety of formats, for a variety of
students who are attending their institution (and others).)

Multimodal Scholarship: (p. 10, publications that support embedded media
formats; p. 15, encourage and use digital media formats for broad
dissemination of information.)

Media Production: (p. 23, Universities and libraries that do not embrace
the potential for multimedia production, project management, and university
services (Johnson, Adams, and Cummins 2012) could quickly fall behind the
curve.)



Still, agreed, it is a bit stunning that educational media collections and
concomitant issues are completely absent, particularly at a time when
eLearning seems to be all the rage.  A/V preservation of local collections
appears to be overlooked as well, even when the authors had a prime
opportunity to explicitly include it (p. 15, Methods for providing
discovery, access, delivery, and preservation of nontext scholarship (cell
lines, data sets, etc.) will continue to change the landscape of scholarly
communication.).  We have to keep pushing the rock, while rolling with the
times!

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] Suggestions for anti-bullying media (in addition to Bully)?

2013-05-14 Thread scott spicer
Collective Wisdom,

One of our Social Work faculty members is updating a resource guide
directed towards parents on the topic of school bullying and has requested
some materials that are not sensationalist or full of scare tactics.  I
have not seen Bully, but it appears to have received tons of press coming
from Weinstein, with the film's initial R rating and associated in-school
anti-bullying movement.  The reviews I read have been mixed, with the
greatest criticism being that the documentary is overly emotional and fails
to consider the complex dynamics of school bullying, as well as backgound
of the students featured.  More than one critic appreciated the attempt,
however, calling for additional documentary films to be made that provide
greater balance to the issue.

Does anyone know of other quality films that perhaps I might recommend?
Again, the audience for this resource guide is parents, so some of the
educational media you may recommend may not be accessible.  Still, I will
forward relevant suggestions to the faculty member.  Sadly enough, it
appears this issue may be too new to our public consciousness for the
material to develop.

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] VRT Membership Media Interests and Engagement Survey Results (Fall 2012) Report Published

2013-01-23 Thread scott spicer
Pardon the cross post:

Hi Everyone,

This fall the VRT sent out a survey to better gauge current membership
media related library roles, interests, and preferred strategies for VRT
outreach and engagement.  An additional goal was to capture topic interests
for a potential, much subsidized, VRT sponsored pre-conference at ALA
Annual 2014.  A report of the survey results has now been
postedhttp://connect.ala.org/node/198600on the VRT section of the
ALA Connect blog.  We had a decent number of
responses (57!), and the feedback provided insight that will no doubt be
useful.  Capturing this information is just the first step, with further
discussion to follow in order to determine possibilities for future
directions.

A discussion around the results of this report will take place at the ALA
Midwinter 2013 Video Round Table Membership and Executive Board Meeting
(OPEN to all) (Monday, January 28, 2013 - 8:30 - 11:30am - Jefferson
Room (Sheraton
Seattle Hotel http://alamw13.ala.org/node/8610)).  If you will be at
Midwinter, please feel free to stop by and contribute to the discussion.
If you want to offer feedback either on the blog or to me directly feel
free to do so.  Also, the online survey form http://bit.ly/VWkRm7 is
still open.



Best,
Scott Spicer

PS: I am looking forward to seeing those of you attending Midwinter this
weekend!  If you have not already reserved your dinner reservation this
Friday evening, please contact (antho...@usc.edu). Opened to all (VRT

: [Videolib] Faculty discussion forum on use of video in the
 curriculum





 Greetings Colleagues,
 We are planning a discussion forum bringing together public and technical
 services librarians with faculty actively using video in the classroom.
 We?d like your advice. The purpose would be to spark a discussion that
 would inform our cataloging policies and practices. For example, we have
 never indexed country of origin or original language, but there are new
 draft best practices for this and if there were sufficient interest we
 would consider a policy change. We have a list of about 200 faculty who use
 video in the classroom and they would all be invited.
 For this program we envision a few faculty speakers with diverse
 perspectives making brief presentations, followed by a discussion over
 lunch. For example we might have professors from cinema studies, a language
 program, social science or history, and communications. This will also be
 an opportunity for us to offer faculty information such as searching tips,
 streaming video availability, and video in the institutional repository,
 which we may include as presentations or handouts.
 We wonder if anyone else has done anything similar or might have
 suggestions for us. Can you think of questions you?ve always wanted to ask
 faculty, or ways to tap into their insights? Some of the questions we?re
 thinking to include are:
 ? How do you use video
 ? How do you find video (in the catalog and elsewhere)
 ? How can we facilitate your use of video
 ? What are typical video requests
 ? What do you find problematic about finding video in the catalog
 ? What are specific problematic title requests (difficult to find videos)
 ? Rank the usefulness of retrieval by
 o genre/form
 o subject (for fiction)
 o subject (for nonfiction)
 o country of origin
 o original language
 o other
 We are hoping for a lively discussion and hope your ideas will help make
 this happen. Many thanks in advance.

Hey Rachel, 

Congratulations!  If the content you are dealing with at IMF is digital video, 
do consider adding it to the digital video guide I posted on ALA Connect: 
http://connect.ala.org/node/183711.  I know that video pertaining to the global 
role of the IMF and World Bank on developing nations is integrated into at 
least one of our courses (not necessarily favorably, to be frank), but at least 
the instructor I knew was very careful to try to find content that provided a 
balanced perspective for discussion.  This content could supplement titles such 
as Life and Debt, amongst others, perhaps.

Best,

 Hello my favorite community!
 
 Starting tomorrow morning I'll be doing outreach for the economics videos
 created by the International Monetary Fund. I don't know how many of you
 know that they make videos (I didn't) but wanted to alert you in case you'd
 find them useful, or you have used them and you have feedback.
 
 The best part about their content is that it is free. They just want more
 people to use their content! I'm still learning about their delivery methods
 but have been told they can be downloaded for free via NewsMarket. You can
 also view them here:  http://www.imf.org/external/mmedia/index.aspx
 
 Hope the start of school goes smoothly for all!
 Best,
 Rachel

 Slightly off topic but many years ago the IMF also had a little film club
 and I remember renting them an excellent African film, HYENAS by Mambety.
 They especially loved it because it was the only film they ever showed that
 had the IMF referred to in the plot.
 
 GOOD LUCK

[Videolib] Digital Video Collections Guide Published on ALA Connect. Open for Community Contribution (ALA member or not).

2012-07-18 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

Pardon the cross post.  I have published a somewhat extensive Digital Video
Collections Guide (http://connect.ala.org/node/183711) on ALA Connect (VRT
Section), consisting of quality licensed and open digital video
collections.  This guide is a mirror of the one we use at Minnesota, and
was developed with great support from deg farrely (ASU), John Vallier
(UofWash) and content from the LibGuides Community.  This is published as
an Open Doc with the hopes that media interested individuals (ALA member or
not) across institutions and constituencies, will feel free to contribute
links/descriptions of excellent digital video collections and repurpose as
they see fit (suggested guidelines on page).  I plan to continue
maintenance checking for active links annually as practical.

Last summer, I published a similar Digital Image Collections Guide (
http://connect.ala.org/node/152079) on ALA Connect, and the response was
very strong (7,500 views).  I am told for image resources communities, that
guide has been a valuable resource, so I am hopeful this guide may be of
assistance for various video interested professionals as well.
Particularly, as a VRT outreach strategy for building depth of media
expertise in ALA, similar to the recent EBSS/VRT Annual program
collaboration.  Please feel free to share with your colleagues!  Finally,
please send me any feedback you have, this is by no means a comprehensive
guide or finished product.

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] ALA Annual GALA Sponsorship Requested...

2012-06-08 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder that we are still seeking vendor sponsorship for the ALA
Annual 2012 VRT GALA in Anaheim.  Sponsorship can come in the form of a
financial contribution or donation of DVD titles for raffle prizes.


*About the Gala at ALA Annual 2012 (Sunday, June 24 6:30-9:30)*
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, Trillium Room C

Drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be served along with a dynamic presentation
from Mark Quigley, Manager of the Research and Study Center at the UCLA
film and Television Archive and Stephen Davison, Head of the UCLA Digital
Library Program. Both these leaders collaborated to create the UCLA silent
animation preservation program. This program has produced a website which
offers eleven animation films from the silent era, for viewing online or
download along with the accompanying music files also available for

Gary,

I think Newton's quote, If I have seen further it is by standing on ye
sholders of Giants fits this occasion best.  As a relative newcomer to the
profession, I owe you a great debt of gratitude for contributing
significantly to the development and sustainibility of our institutions
(VRT, NMM, VideoLib, MRC Site, to name a few) and at the professional
level, for helping to instill in me a respect for the craftsmanship of
media bibliography, and the criticality of media preservation, media
copyright, media advocacy, and damnit, you gotta just get the instructor
what they need.  Finally, thank you most of all for helping me to
understand that the voices of oracles able to swiftly provide responses to
I need exemplar titles with tracking shots of Paris, suggestions? will
fall silent without advocacy for media.  Business models and copyright
debates considered, I am entirely optimistic that we are entering a rich
era where our users will increasingly engage with media in a number of
ways, some very different and most very exciting.  Hopefully, building off
some of the foundations you (and other modern founders) have helped lay we
can continue to lead in this transition through familiar and emerging roles.

Mazel Tov,

Scott

[Videolib] University Theatre instructional video collections support?

2012-03-07 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

I am now working with our Theater Librarian and a Theater faculty member to
improve discovery and collection development of instructional theater
videos, with an emphasis on performance (for now). In terms of discovery,
to supplement our general a/v guides, this will include the development of
a guide with catalog links to various facets of performance videos (to
increase discovery beyond the cataloging).  Gary's guide provides a nice
start on some classifications and a Theater grad. student staff/Theater
Librarian will provide even more granularity.  To assist in this process,
can anyone recommend an exemplar Theater video guide with more sub-classes
than the MRC?

Second, we would like to audit the collection in collaboration with the
Theatre Dept. to determine if our video collection is meeting their needs
and would like to provide suggestions to certain titles that we may not
already own.  Does anyone feel their theater instructional video collection
is particularly distinctive and/or would cite one that is in terms of
breadth and depth of performance videos (e.g., direction, technical how to,
stage performance, international performance, famous performances, acting
technique) from which to reconcile for consideration?

To be clear, I am not looking for suggestions on any specific titles or
streaming video packages at this point (please no vendor email), simply
trying to audit this part of our collection and related services as a
terrific engagement outreach opportunity.

Thanks much,
Scott

[Videolib] Looking for Faces of Japan PBS series..

2012-02-28 Thread scott spicer
Howdy folks,

I'm fairly positive it is out of print, but does anyone know where I might
be able to score copies of the 26 part (1987-1988) PBS series, Faces of
Japan narrated by Dick Cavett, produced by TeleJapan USA?  We have an
instructor who uses it frequently, but ILL and 26 part VHS series is just
not a happy combination for a course offered regularly.  As a fall back,
can anyone recommend a documentary that might capture the stresses of
contemporary Japanese society (which I suspect was all the rage in the
roaring '80's), from a first person account?

Thanks!
Scott

[Videolib] Experience with Video Quality Evaluation?

2011-11-04 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

This seems like a question straight out of a media librarian's handbook,
but I am going to ask it anyways.  We are about to house a collection of
approx. 200 videos of Peruvian prison dissident government satire plays
from our Latin American Studies department. Due to the sensitive nature of
this ephemera material use will be restricted to on-site viewing. Given
that they are currently mostly in VHS format we are looking at outsourcing
conversion to DVD for longer term access, not necessarily of archival
quality (I would prefer to digitize for streaming, but it is not in the
cards right now).  I have been asked to examine some of the DVDs that have
already been encoded and compare with the VHS copy for quality to determine
if we should have the whole batch redone for consistency or if those
already converted are of high enough quality.

Is anyone familiar with a relatively straightforward technical test to make
this assessment, in the absence of color bars?  Is a more objective test
even necessary, or would a perceptual evaluation be sufficient?

Best,
Scott

Re: [Videolib] Media circulation term

2011-11-01 Thread scott spicer
3 day loans, with circulation student staff leeway to extend up to 14 days
provided there are no bookings in the Aleph Booking Module (auto-prevents
extension beyond X hours of advanced booking).  Beyond that, all patrons
need to request an extension or renewal through the Multimedia Consultant,
which is granted on a case-by-case basis pending demand.  On some titles
that are instructor specific, we have extended up to a month.

We have a limit of 2 renewals typically, but for more than 2 weeks we often
will suggest short term or semester long course reserves, with the
understanding that we may be requesting to mediate, with instructor
permission, a short term loan to another instructor for class screening or
patron viewing onsite in the case of reserves.

Best,
Scott

 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.

[Videolib] Experience with asiapacificfilms.com streaming service?

2011-10-07 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

Continuing the theme of streaming collection services, one of our librarians
recently received a trial offer for the Asia Pacific Films streaming
service, and I was wondering if anyone could speak to personal experience as
it related to the quality of this resource and if so, who the audience is
for it it at your school?  Our institutional context is that we have the
Ames Collection which is a special collection dedicated to south asian
materials, but we do not have a South Asian department and from my
understanding, limited course offerings specifically related to Asian
Studies.  That said, there may be subject content here that is applicable to
other disciplines, I am just not familiar with these titles.

Feel free to contact me offline or respond here.

Best,
Scott

 I pitched this to our Entymology Librarian, and we are in for The
 Strange
 Disappearance of Bees.  So 98 more to go for the $200 price? ;)  I
 don't
 want to play my hand but one of our Entymology faculty, Dr. Marla
 Spivak,
 just won a MacArthur Genius grant and I'm told we have this new Bee
 Lab to
 study this monumental problem, so we will likely need to purchase the
 3 or
 4
 bee disappearance films.   Come on folks, just need 98 more...  Jon,

[Videolib] Seeking Sponsorship for the Video Round Table ALA Annual Gala, A Tribute to Helen Hill

2011-06-08 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,


We are seeking vendor sponsorship for the 2011 Video Round Table Gala at ALA
Annual, *A Tribute to Helen Hill*. Helen
Hillhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Hillwas a social activist and
artist of experimental animation who lived and
created in New Orleans. After the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Hill's
work expanded into the preservation realm as she promoted do-it-yourself
techniques for film archiving and restoration. Her films have received
awards and honors, including entry in the Library of Congress’ National Film
Registry. Join Video Round Table and friends of Helen Hill for an evening
celebrating her life and work. Proceeds from this event will be donated to
the Helen Hill Award for the Orphan Films Symposium. If interested in
sponsorship of this event, contact Tom Ipri: tom.i...@unlv.edu or Danette
Pachtner: danett...@duke.edu



Don’t let not being present hinder you from supporting VRT in New Orleans!

 Randal--well, you asked me a question and then sort of gave the answer I
 would give. I am not dealing with this kind of situation myself, so whether
 I am OK with a 50 sec. clip is not relevant. It looks, though, as if the
 librarians have given it some thought and believe the 50 sec. clip is fair
 use. I gather that a 78 rpm disc could not hold much more than 3
 minutes/side (I recall that Soliloquy from Carousel required 2 sides),
 while a 45 could hold up to 5 min/side. If the songs were performed to
 maximize disc length, presumably 50 sec = about 30% of a 78 (more likely to
 be PD) or 20% of a 45.  The librarians may have felt precisely that 50 sec
 is enough to help researchers identify what they want to hear but a small
 enough clip not to replace the market value of the whole song. --Judy

 I'm engaging here, not challenging, trying not to be my usual glib self.

 So, Judy, you're OK with the 50 sec. clip aspect of this collection, I take
 it, even for non-PD recordings? Those orphans, etc.? The rest of it,
 including full renditions, is available to legitimate UCLA users, and I
 imagine anyone who wanted to be working on the material in depth would want
 to be in the collection itself, as you point out.

 re: Strachwitz/Frontera. The 50 sec. clip combined with the label views of
 each record, and the indexing, is compelling for research at a distance.

 Tom, we also elected to remove discs from their
 cases so that we could have better theft
 protection while still keeping the original DVD
 cases out in the stacks for browsing.  We simply
 invested in a sturdy, multi-drawer cabinet which
 holds inexpensive slim disc cases like
 these:

 http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=24943catid=800
 .  The original DVD cases have a label inside
 with the disc number, which is also written on
 the center ring label on the disc itself and
 added to the record during cataloging.  It?s
 low-tech but has worked beautifully for us.

 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?

 Hi Maureen-

 PN1995.9 is what we use.  Here's a  link may work.  Should be persistent.

[Videolib] Ophuls Liebelei on DVD?

2011-04-06 Thread scott spicer
Howdy folks,

A faculty member is looking for Max Ophuls' Liebelei on DVD (we have a VHS
version).  I thought I had tracked one down from Germany, but having
received it apparently this is a theatrical performance.  Does anyone know
if this title was ever released on DVD, maybe Kino?

Best,
Scott

[Videolib] Circulating locally captioned versions of film?

2011-01-13 Thread scott spicer
Howdy folks,

I have a fun one for the community to discuss, and I would like to get your
feedback.  As I mentioned before, our campus Disability Services (DS)
recently started a video captioning unit.  They always seek permissions from
the rights holder prior to captioning, apparently required by our Counsel.
Until now, from my understanding, the resulting copy in whatever medium has
always been given to the hearing impaired student.

However, for the upcoming semester, I have a faculty member who would like
for us to purchase 2 copies of a film series that is being sold directly
from the filmmaker, that has not and will not be captioned.  This faculty
member is requesting the titles be captioned by DS, in this case for
international students in her class to better understand complex foreign
relations concepts, not a hearing impaired student.  Further, the students
will be required to watch these titles outside of class this semester, so
the titles will likely be on library reserve, which would break new ground
for us from a policy perspective. Thus far, the Libraries have not been
involved in dealing with modified/captioned copies of original content.  We
are considering this because the instructor (and others) will be using the
videos every year in their classes, and this discipline has some hearing
impaired students as well as several non-native speakers.

Three questions:
1)  Does anyone currently circulate captioned/locally modified copies of
commercial content in their collection?  You can contact me offline, if you
think this is sensitive information.

2)  What does our filmmaker/producer/distributor community think about the
possibility of circulating captioned copies in our general collection?
Would your thoughts change if the rights holder gave permission to caption
because they could not and originals were made inaccessible so as not to
impact market forces?

I have considered having our Acquisitions Dept. request a captioning waiver
written into the purchase agreement, but I am ethically uncomfortable with
making captioning a contract condition.  I believe captioning should be
protected as an anti-circumvention exemption and covered under fair use (if
not ADA), points I may submit for consideration during the next round of
Hearings.

Best,
Scott

Re: [Videolib] [Videonews] Here we go again...

2011-01-03 Thread scott spicer
Christine,

I was asking myself the exact same thing so I did a little digging.  Though
I am certainly no lawyer (take this with several grains of salt) there
appears to be some strong, potentially related case law where online
published terms of service have been enforced (however, not necessarily in a
First Sale Doctrine context) (see:
http://www.brookspierce.com/news-publications-42.html).  These laws appear
to vary somewhat by state, and state and federal courts have occasionally
ruled against the seller, so you are right to ask Chris. The legal wording,
notice, and mechanism for agreeing to terms appears to have been a
consideration in these decisions.

Accordingly, I agree with consensus that demands for higher payment
post-purchase may not be legally enforceable when a home viewing copy is
purchased from a major online retailer like Amazon (depending on stated
notice at the point of purchase).  When it comes to some of the smaller
distributor sites, as noted, legal enforceability gets fairly nuanced, but
may lean towards seller enforceability.

 Hey Chris and happy new year

 Sounds like a contractual issue, not necessarily a PPR issue.  What they
 seem to be saying is that the higher price is the institutional price,
 period.  Don't think there's much to fight.

  Happy New Year all!
 
  I recent purchased a home movie from a vendor via paypal knowing
 that
  we would likely not ever need PPR rights.  I received a confirmation
 of
  payment which included this statement:
 
  Your Personal Use DVD has been shipped. Please note, the DVD is for
  home use only. It is not an institutional version and cannot be part
 of
  the University of Connecticut Library, nor can it be used in any
  classroom setting, or in a public screening. You can purchase a copy
 of
  the film with the legal rights for institutional use by ordering it
  through our website for $300.00 plus $10 for shipping and handling.
 
  Should I attempt to fight this or pay for PPR--or just let sleeping
 dogs
  lie and not say/do anything?

it was this issue that inspired my suggestion to include a media
bibliography in the newsletter.  I'm trying to shake the tree a bit to see
if there are other media related articles or published presentations in the
past 9 months or so, such as Carleton's CCUMC reminder.  If there are still
other recent articles or perhaps, relevant (and electronically accessible)
quality presentations, please drop me an e-mail.

Best,
Scott

 Oh VideoLibbers, is this an impossible one?

 I've been asked to find an episode from the second season of 3-2-1 Contact.
 (Which means the theme song has been in my head all day.)   I've sent an
 e-mail to Sesame Workshop, checked WorldCat, YouTube, Films On Demand...

 Can anyone point me in a new direction?
 Thank you for your help!


 Vicky,
 Joe and I are trying to track down video of a specific episode of 3-2-1
 Contact! That had Linus Pauling on as a guest. Here is a link to the details
 for that episode:

 http://www.tv.com/3-2-1-contact/shapes-clues/episode/307607/recap.html?tag=episode_recap;recap

 Can you think of any place we might be able to get access to it?

[Videolib] Have you seen De Soto?

2010-09-29 Thread scott spicer
Hi Everyone,

We have a faculty member looking for the title, Death March to De Soto as
our copy is just about dead, at least audibly.  The catalog record says it
was released in 1998 - though I believe this is likely in fact the same
program originally broadcasted on The Learning Channel in 1993.  Assuming
they are the same, the producer was Arkios Productions and the title appears
to have only been released on VHS and distributed by Films, but no longer
available in their catalog per Films website and phone customer service
(Doug, can you confirm?).

Does anyone know where we might be able to secure a copy?  The faculty
member mentioned this title is vital to her class (and according to our
circ. history, several others!) and has resulted in spurring good quality
discussion - always a good thing!

Thanks,
Scott

 OK...here's the deal:  the US Copyright law allows us all an exemption for
 screening WHOLE copyrighted videos in face-to-face teaching (one of the
 very few such exemptions granted users)

 A distributor or filmmaker can trump these exemptions (or other copyright
 allowances) by requiring buyers to agree to a commercial contract that
 stipulates certain uses or types of use.

 What's going on with the company you mention is that they are mixing the
 two things up.  They are clueless about what Public Performance and
 (particularly) fair use are all about...they're 100% off the mark.  They
 CAN, however, define the types of uses allowed with purchase.  Again,
 what's going on has to do with contracts, not copyright.

 Gary Handman



  Good Morning,
 
  I am trying to purchase a set of dvds from a company who seems to have
  their own definition of what is allowed with face to face teaching. Here
  is what one must agree to when checking out online. (among other things).
 
  Public Performance / Fair Use: Unless authorized in writing, our
  courses are NOT licensed Public Performance, such as showing in a
  classroom. However, we consider less than a total of 30 minutes of
  classroom display as Fair Use, and actually a kind of PR, so thank you
  very much! But for longer use, we kindly ask that you get a Public
  Performance License.
 
  Just to clarify, we would be happy to pay the extra $150 for a PPR
  license but this is what they define as PPR.
 
  In the Shop menu select Public Performance Licenses - Single
  Teacher, and add to your shopping cart.
 
  Does anyone have an suggestions as to how to approach this.  I am unable
  to find the material anywhere else. Thanks for your help with this.

[Videolib] Academic libraries with dedicated privileged media search boxes?

2010-07-09 Thread Scott Spicer
Collective brains,

Our library is undergoing a website redesign using Drupal CMS, and  
fortunately, the web design team has decided to privilege media search/ 
discovery (images, audio, video) on a tab right along side books and  
journals/articles.  I have been charged with leading on consulting the  
design of this tab.  Within the media tab, I am planning to have 3 sub  
tabs for video, images, and audio, each a little different reflected  
by the ways in which the respective media is discovered by their  
users.  I am also proposing to add some additional functionality for  
federated search based on what we can technically offer (somewhat  
limited).

 From a video perspective, this also provides us an opportunity to not  
only offer traditional catalog video search, but perhaps promote/ 
search intergrate some licensed streaming content (mostly in the  
catalog already), our Media Services, and a for now, a link to curated  
open video collections.  For an example of what I am describing please  
see USC's Images tab using Webfeat: http://www.usc.edu/libraries/

Please share some innovative media search interfaces at yours or other  
institutions.  So far, the only institutions I have found that have  
explicitly dedicated media search on the main page at the same level  
as books/journals are UofTexas (CD/DVD), UofWashington (Audio and  
Video - no Image), USC (Image only), Uof Illinois (Media), Kansas  
(Images search off to the left side).

Thanks much,
-Scott

Thanks Tom,

That's exactly the type of example I am seeking!  If you would be so  
kind, I understand that you were unable to get cross-search  
functionality of databases, but is there a reason why you chose not to  
list your music/video service info. and perhaps links to select video  
and music collections? While being sensitive to information overload  
(say filling the entire tab), this kind of information would seem to  
be helpful to the user for serendipitous discovery.

Best,
Scott

 Yes Swank does it. I assumed that is who you were referring to re
 pricing. Both Criterions do it too. I think small companies, Kino,
 Milestone, Zeitgeist would probably do it for a fairly reasonable fee.
 I remain cynical of streaming for feature films because there are far
 too many that can not be licensed and probably never will be,
 including Chaplin films, the majority of foreign language films etc. I
 think the studio product may well come down to a reasonable price but
 unless the course in question is Warner Bros films of the 30s, you
 won't be able to clear many of the titles.

Re: [Videolib] YouTube to offer [and target] Indie/educational filmrental..Thoughts?

2010-01-21 Thread Scott Spicer
Really Gary?  Focusing on the technology?  I agree it matters a lot -  
if you assume that is the same quality experience paying folk will  
receive - but let's not focus on the ants and miss the elephant in the  
room.

To address the technology issue, however:  I don't have a great deal  
of experience with retail streaming services, but I know YouTube  
offers H.264 on some of their stuff (and I would certainly assume if  
YouTube is looking at this seriously to make money, they will strive  
to offer at least SD if not HD 720 @ full-size on rentals with an eye  
on improving quality).

Honestly, I don't have a strong feeling either way, but the topic was  
thrown out there to get perspectives on: impact and development of new  
business models; consumer attitude - ubiquity of YouTube use in the  
classroom (ignoring it doesn't make it so); and the cachet from  
particularly, an indie film producers' perspective, of distributing  
content through highly-respected distributers.

Best,
Scott

 I'm betting they will, especially if it's easy to do and they get the
 bulk of the revenue stream.

 I'm still waiting for Amazon, Netflix, iTunes, etc. to wake up to the
