[Videolib] Looking for "Let Me Down Easy" on DVD?

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi all,

A faculty member was assigning her students to watch Anna Deavere-Smith's "Let 
Me Down Easy" directly from the PBS/ Great Performances website.  The 
video
 recently expired and the faculty has ask me to purchase a DVD copy. I can't 
find one!

Does anyone have a lead on where this could be purchased? Or someone I could 
contact at WNET/ Great Performances?

Thanks,
Kim

[Videolib] managing copies of DVDs sent out for closed captioning

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi all,

I've been working with my Office of Disability Accommodation for the past few 
months to get students with hearing impairments access to closed caption 
versions of films they have been assigned to watch for class. Recently we paid 
for had a handful of films  to be sent out for captioning by a vendor. I don't 
the specifics, but ODA relied on Americans with Disabilities Act to justify 
making the copy. I believe Fair Use can also be employed for this purpose. 
Either way, we did not seek permission from the copyright holder, we relied on 
exception in the law.

Now there are two copies of the film - the original library copy and this new 
CC copy. How should this second CC copy be managed? ODA wants the library to 
manage access, but I don't think legally we can add it to the circulating 
collection. What are the legalities or best practices for managing these kinds 
of items?

Thank you!
Kim

[Videolib] Netflix Streaming and Face-to-Face

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi all,

Is there any consensus on the legality of faculty using their own person 
Netflix Streaming account in a face to face classroom situation. I have always 
assumed it was fine. Access was legally acquired and would fall under 110(1).

Another support department on my campus is saying, no, it's not legal because 
Netflix's terms of service trump 110. They are coming to this conclusion based 
on advice from an inhouse 
article 
written by our Scholarly Communications Librarian.  I never saw eye to eye with 
this librarian on media related copyright issues, his interpretations do not 
necessarily reflect those of the  campus legal office AND he recently left the 
university.  So I'm trying to find something  else solid that addresses this 
issue.

I flipped back through Ciara Healy's Library Trends article, but it doesn't 
seem to address the copyright issue. Can anyone point me to something?

Thanks!
Kim

[Videolib] Looking for theatrical version of The Godfather

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi all,

It may have been all the eggnog that fried my brain, but I can't seem to figure 
this out. A faculty member needs the theatrical versions of The Godfather I and 
II. She says "not the box set, it changes the chronology and adds extra 
scenes." There are several versions for sale but nothing is screaming that it's 
the original theatrical version.

Is the Coppola Restoration (DVD release 2008) what I'm looking for?  ASIN:

Re: [Videolib] VHS equipment obsolescence

[Stanton, Kim]

I share the opinion Laura mentioned below from the Video at Risk guidelines 
regarding the obsolescence of VHS playback equipment. You can still buy VCRs 
new, though each year they seems to be slowly fading further out of the 
commercial market. I think a time where VCRs meet this definition is coming 
very soon, but we’re not quite there.

In the one-off cases where we have transferred VHS, it’s been based on other 
factors defined in 108 such as damaged or lost.  We haven’t really broached 
using “deteriorating” as a reason. I think this factor is way more nebulous 
than equipment obsolescence, but ripe for some data driven, well-reasoned best 
practices.

Thanks for the posting, Elena.  I hope that there is someone who can provide 
the experience of VHS viewing in the future.

Yet there are some who would say that the VHS deck and soon, the optical disc 
drive, is already obsolete or so near obsolescence that the playback should not 
be supported in a non-archival context.

At the same time, Video at Risk 

 (pp. 8-9) notes that:

“so long as new, reasonable high quality consumer grade DVD/VHS players are 
still advertised for sale in the commercial marketplace at a reasonable cost, 
108 (c)’s definition of ‘obsolete’ likely will not extend to VHS.”

Should the consideration of VHS equipment as “obsolete” be made on a 
case-by-case basis, then?

I would first ask how obsolescence is being defined.  Does it still work?  Is 
the content and the performance still relevant/applicable?  It's safe to say 
that VHS is no longer the market standard (duh), but there are titles on VHS 
that never were (and, in the case of Kevin Brownlow's Hollywood: A Celebration 
of the American Silent Film never could be because of copyright) transferred to 
DVD.  And then there are the nuances of the VHS "version"- not all titles 
across different formats are created equal.  The current DVD of The Grinch Who 
Stole Christmas has been remastered with a totally different color palette and 
Disney on digital formats is practically a different species from the straight 
film-->tape transfers they did for VHS release (artist's sketch lines on the 
original cell animation have been digitally removed).  Format does not define 
quality and merit and I still rely on VHS in the classroom [at Pratt]. So as 
long as we need and desire to access the content (and, for some, the 
experience) of VHS, the equipment will never become obsolete.

Re: [Videolib] pornographic films in the Library collection?

[Stanton, Kim]

We have purchased a few items per faculty request for instruction/ scholarly 
research.


The only issue we have had (and just once)  was someone checking out an item 
without understanding what it was. We now prominently add a note to our public 
catalog record that prominently says "Adult content, graphic sex." or whatever 
is appropriate. Other than that, these items are treated like all other 
materials in the collection. We have closed stacks, but circulate for use 
outside of the library.

I have purchased porn in response to instructional requests (most of which have

Much like racist cartoons, Nazi propaganda and most reality TV, inclusion of 
porn in the library collection should not be interpreted as a stamp of approval 
on the content.  I recommend giving a courtesy head's up to your 
acquisitions/tech services staff and be sure you are ready to respond, citing 
intellectual freedom/instructional freedom, to any complainers.  You might also 
consider letting whoever you report to know in advance, so they are also 
prepared in case you do receive a complaint.  If you have viewing stations, I 
would recommend working with your staff to identify the best location to seat 
someone studying porn in order to reduce the likelihood of catching a passerby 
off guard.

I had similar concerns to yours, but we have not had a single problem or 
complaint-- and the weird suggestions on our amazon account cleared out quickly

Hi all,

For those of you subscribing to individual titles through Swank Digital Campus, 
how are you letting your faculty know that these resources are available for 
use? Besides emailing the original faculty member who requested the title in 
the first place, I don't know how to let others who potentially would use this 
content know that it's available. The agreement with Swank won't allow us to 
post a link to the content in our online Library Catalog.

I do note the individual titles on a LibGuide and instruct folks to contact me 
about use, but most people won't see this.

Thanks!!

Re: [Videolib] Streaming Media Coll. Dev. Policies & Funds

[Stanton, Kim]

Lisa,

We use several different methods to provide access to streaming content and the 
way we handle it  funding depends on the scenario:


* Content hosted on our library server - treated like a monograph, 
regardless of the licensing period (1 year, 3 year or in perpetuity). We track 
these rights in a database separate from our ILS. At the beginning of each year 
I review which licenses need renewal  for the FY and mentally set that money 
aside in my Digital Rights fund.

* Hosted by vendor as a multi year ( 3 year, 7 year, etc) subscription- 
treated like a monograph, see above

* Hosted by vendor as a 1 year ongoing "subscription" - treated as a 
serial, tracked in our ILS like all other serials

* Hosted by vendor, database purchased outright - initially treated 
like monograph; any annual access fees are treated like a serial

Our library is moving away from discipline-specific annual budgeting towards a 
just-in-time/ user centered/ "big pool of money" model.  At this time I still 
have a small Digital Rights fund that I use primarily to pay for the content we 
host on our own library server (new and renewals; across disciplines); larger 
annual subscription packages are usually paid from "the big pool".

Good luck!

Re: [Videolib] Feature films and Libraries

[Stanton, Kim]

For students with one-off screenings, I usually do some light research and 
point them in the right direction. For larger university events (student film 
fests, departmental film series) I will get more involved, usually handling the 
entire licensing process, if I'm contacted at all. 

We have some information on our website about when PPR is needed, how to obtain 
it and how to identify materials with Edu PPR in our catalog:  
https://www.library.unt.edu/services/media-library/media-111c-screening-room 
and https://www.library.unt.edu/media-library/public-performance-rights

Students are able to reserve rooms across campus online, without anyone vetting 
the use. My staff pay attention to what's happening in our library's screening 
room/ classroom, but I don't have a sense of what's happening in other spaces 
on campus.

I do most of the licensing for public screenings on campus. I say most because 
occasionally student clubs will take the initiative and contact a filmmaker 
about rights, but rarely will they contact Swank directly. I am happy to let 
them negotiate with small film companies, because it is good for them to 
arrange and event from start to finish and it is less work for me, but I want 
them to contact me to let me know they have paid the rights. Also, I am looped 
in when people reserve rooms for film screenings. We're a pretty small college, 
so I take it in stride to check the weekly calendar and posters advertising 
film screenings. Especially at the beginning of a semester, it's important to 
educate the community about acquiring performance rights.

lorraine! I think many academic libraries handle this in different ways. Here 
at USC we unfortunately don?t have a media librarian. By default, I do act as 
sort of one but it is only one of the many responsibilities which I have here. 
Because of this, I have neither the time nor (quite frankly) the inclination to 
pursue investigating PPR for groups wishing to show feature films on campus. I 
am always happy, however, to refer such groups to Swank and other such 
companies. But I let the student groups know at the same time that it is 
strictly their responsibility to obtain the necessary licenses and to pay the 
necessary fees. USC has nearly 2700 documentary films on DVD, but because 
99.78% of them were purchased at the ?institutional rate?, at least USC 
students are spared the hassle of having to obtain PPR for them. Feature films 
are another matter.

Cheers!
Anthony

Re: [Videolib] Another 108 preservation copy question

[Stanton, Kim]

Kimberly,

Since you’ve found that FMG does sell a DVD copy of School this comment doesn’t 
apply to your situation BUT I disagree with Michael that availability through a 
streaming site automatically voids consideration for making a copy under 108. 
The Video At Risk guidelines argue that “online replacements of a work sold 
without a perpetual license for access to that work, should not be seen as an 
available replacement”.Your situation (losing access to Films on Demand) is 
a good example of why a  streaming version may not constitute an acceptable 
replacement.

This would not be for preservation (since it is not a unique item), it would be 
for replacement of a damaged copy. However, if it is available through Films on 
Demand, you couldn’t really say that it is unavailable at a fair price in an 
unused copy. It is available in a different format (streaming) at a fair price, 
so 108 would not apply.

We have the videos in the PBS series School: The Story of American Public

[Videolib] SocialBook - video annotation tool

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi all,

Has anyone read this article in the Chronicle of Higher Ed,  "Using Video 
Annotations Tools to Teach Film Analysis"? 
http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/using-video-annotation-tools-to-teach-film-analysis/57171

This idea is very cool, but I'm confused about the mechanics. Is anyone 
familiar with this tool or know if it's being used on your campus?  Is it 
intended for uploading clips (Fair Use), is it an overlay you can use with 
subscription packages, is it open or password protected?  The only info in the 
article related to licensing was "Perhaps the biggest challenge of using 
SocialBook is that rights to specific films have to be negotiated on an 
individual basis, which means that the cost to individual institutions could 
escalate. "

Hi all,

My library recently received a large donation of early studio films on VHS 
format. The majority were official releases, but I have two hanging out that 
came from one of those rare/vintage mail order video companies. The quality is 
not so hot - they look like low end telecine transfers.   I don't know the 
copyright renewal status of either film, so I don't know if these are Public 
Domain or not.   I haven't been able to find copies for sale on Amazon, with a 
quick Google search or listed in Worldcat - if these are legal PD copies and 
super rare I'd like to keep them, despite the kind of crappy quality.  Does 
anyone have any info on the PD status of these particular titles or other 
resources I could consult? Should I assume that most majors studios renewed 
copyright on all their pre-1968 films or was it more case by case than that?

Re: [Videolib] cataloging & 500 note for VHS prez copy

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi Laura,

Not specific to VHS, but here's how we deal with cataloging 108 copies:


·  Bibliographic control of the copy

o   A new library catalog record will be created for the preservation copy with 
the following specifications:

§  Item = czmrs/ Inhouse Use Only

§  500: This preservation copy was made in accordance with Section 108 of the 
U.S. Copyright Code. Transferred from (CALL NUMBER or LENDING LIBRARY) on 
(DATE).

§  500: NOTICE: Campus use only. Not available for ILL.

o   A new holding will be added to OCLC.



· Bibliographic control of the original item

o   Obsolete/Deteriorating items - the original item will be removed from 
circulation, but will not be discarded. The holdings will be removed from 
Worldcat.   The bib and item records will be suppressed and the following note 
will be added to the bib:

o   500 A preservation copy was made of this film in accordance with Section 
108 of the U.S. Copyright Code. Transferred to (CALL NUMBER) on (DATE).

o   Lost/ Stolen/ Damaged - the original item will be removed from the 
collection and processed as a discard. This includes deleting the bib & item 
records and removing the holdings from Worldcat.


And here are our guidelines in full for 108 transfers:

Re: [Videolib] Collecting student film productions - Question about distribution

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the on and off-list replies.

We’re trying to get students in our Film Department (undergrad and MFA) to 
start more systematically donating their films to the library at the end of 
each semester. The student retains the copyright to films produced as part of a 
class assignment. Over the past few years several of our MFA students’ films 
have been distributed in the educational or home video market. The MFA 
Coordinator is concerned that if her students start giving a copy of their film 
to the library it might later affect their festival/ theatrical/ distribution 
plans in some way.

Do any distributors or nontheatrical folks want to chime in on the type of 
embargos you might require from a filmmakers. I’ve heard back from one 
educational vendors that this would not affect their agreement with the 
filmmaker at all.  Any librarians have experience with this?

Thanks!
Kim

[Videolib] Streaming video vendor guide

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi all,

Has anyone put together a guide that lists all of the vendor-hosted educational 
streaming video databases out there?  I believe Monique put  together a 
spreadsheet several years ago that listed distributors offering digital rights, 
but I don't see it on the VRT site anymore.

If no one has done this, I can get something started.  If someone has compiled 
this info, it would be great to link from the VRT or NMM site.  There have been 
several messages on the listserve lately of folks looking into streaming 
collections. I think this kind of resource would be of use to them.

Thanks,
Kim

Re: [Videolib] streaming video usage stats

[Stanton, Kim]

Sarah - 

Do you have any records of faculty who have used the high-use DVD copies in the 
past? For example, booking records, reserve shelf requests, syllabi? If so, you 
might try reaching out to these instructors directly. Or if the subscription is 
focused on a specific subject area, reaching out to faculty in related 
departments. 

It also might be worth checking with the vendor to make sure there's nothing 
wrong with the usage recording on their end.

Very interesting problem, especially since it sounds like your other streaming 
subscriptions are getting higher use. 

Good luck,

Hi everyone,

One of my streaming subscriptions is getting very low usage.  I mean, VERY low. 
 I have records for the titles in our online catalog with links to the 
streaming site, and also have put stickers on the corresponding DVDs to let 
people know that these are available in streaming.  Am I doing something wrong? 
 Is there anything else standard I should be doing to make these accessible to 
our patrons?  Is it time for me to consider dropping this subscription?  It's 
not particularly expensive but I would really like to see more use.

I initially subscribed to these titles based on reports I generated in our

Re: [Videolib] A Distributor's Response

[Stanton, Kim]

Something to consider. High FTE does not automatically equal large media (or 
even entire library) budgets, especially these days, especially at state funded 
universities .  I'm not sure that basing price on Carnegie or FTE is the 
solution either.

Subject: Re: [Videolib] A Distributor's Response

Okay, okay, if you insist, Anthony. ;)

A couple of points I'm trying to make:


1)  VERY little is offered in print-only format any longer in the journal 
world.  Our periodicals mgr. said that the American Institute of Physics does, 
for instance, offer 6 tiers for their print + online titles.  And for those 
journals we are likely to still get in print only - popular titles such as 
Rolling Stone or Time - we pay the same rate as an individual would.  As you 
already noted, once we get into online access, there is typically all manner of 
tiering or pricing based upon FTE.



2)  The other point for me is the issue of limited budget. I get that a 
large university is purchasing films for a tremendous number of faculty and 
students.  However, consider this, please.  You know how Choice creates it's 
"Outstanding Academic Titles" each year, which are those books it feels are 
essential and should be in all or most academic libraries?  While there is no 
such list for films, there ARE a couple of similar-idea lists - ALA's Notable 
Videos and Video Librarian's Best of the Year list.  Let's say these are 
similar to Choice's Outstanding Title book list in that they contain items most 
libraries really ought to own.  Let's say there are 30 titles between the two 
lists.  Let's say, as you are suggesting one ought to do in an academic 
library, we purchase them at the institutional/educational rate, even when 
they're available from the retail market at home use level.  I think it's fair 
to say that institutional-level documentaries average $250 a pop, no?  So 30 
titles X $250 for the films that pretty much any academic library will want to 
own in order to have a solid base collection = $7,500.

My point is this:  for a university the size of USC or Northwestern or Columbia 
or NYU, $7,500 is likely a drop in the bucket in order to have that base upon 
which to build.  For a small liberal arts college the size of Wabash or Kenyon 
or Davidson or Bowdoin (I'm going through my daughter's most-wanted list right 
now), that $7,500 is likely a LARGE percentage of the annual budget.  Just 
buying that base of core titles that all libraries ought to have now means 
there's  a lot of stuff I have to pass up.  *If,* however, I can buy half of 
those 30 DVDs at home use level through Amazon, because they're there and 
because we likely don't need PPR, I will now have to spend (15 X $250) + (15 X 
$25) = $4,125.  I've now freed up $3,375, which will go a long way out of my 
$12K-$15K annual budget to buy additional documentaries, popular features, etc.

Does it not make sense why I advocate for an FTE-based or 
type-of-academic-institution-based pricing mechanism?

It's been in festivals, and he has it for sale on Amazon, but he was hoping to 
get a bit more play out of it with universities, libraries,  museums because it 
hits so many disciplines.

My thoughts were getting distributors that focus on schools that purchase 
educational films, such as Kino, Docurama, maybe Microcinema.  Also, contacting 
each one of the more independent distributors.

Here is the link, so you can see what I'm talking about 
http://humanities.case.edu/media/eventGuides/191_Frederick_Lewis_Guide.pdf  
Reading this may lead you to think he  'should' know what he's doing, but I

I realize we are not distributors, but I wondered if you had any sage or even 
unsage advice you could offer. It would be greatly appreciated.  Please let me 
know if I overstepped my bounds here.

I don't have a good legal frame of reference here but this seems extremely

Subject: [Videolib] Film festival submissions?

Hello,

I was wondering if any of you could give me a bit of direction.

Our Media Center recently received the 2007-2011 submissions from the Rhode 
Island International Film Festival.  We have a Film Program here and we're the 
state college, so it makes sense.  We'd like to catalog these items and add 
them to the circulating collection (there are over 500 from all over the world, 
most are not in WorldCat).  Do we need the permission of the film creator to do 
this?  It did not say anything on the submission paperwork about works being 
given to us after the festival as it was just decided, (we're going to fix that 
for next year).  The submission contract is the usual boilerplate, allowing the 
festival rights to screen and no obligation to return.  We're not going to copy 
these items, or have screenings, the films will only be for educational and 
entertainment use.

There is the possibility we could contact *most* of the submitters, however, if 
it's not necessary we would prefer to make the changes to the future submission 
process and go from there.

I'd appreciate any pointers you could share.

Thanks.

Hi Kim. I have attended the SCMS conference recently and found it very 
interesting and worthwhile to attend as a librarian. There are many panels that 
address teaching, research, and collections issues, primarily from a faculty 
standpoint. The attendees are friendly, and the size of the conference is 
manageable. I have been told from a number of SCMS members that they would 
welcome the contributions of librarians to the organization, and I think there 
would be room for a librarians' interest group. I would be interested to hear 
from other cinema and media studies librarians who might like to work toward

Re: [Videolib] Hulu and Netflix classrooom use-- follow up question

[Stanton, Kim]

Usually faculty are pretty accepting once they understand that while I would 
like to help them, the library can't provide the item in that format for 
whatever reason (copyright policy, technology issues, ect). When I bring up 
assigning Hulu or Netflix subscriptions for their students, they are often 
relived to even have this option.  I will sometimes equate this to students 
being required to purchase their own workbooks, supplies or other outside 
reading materials. Nobody has hit the roof yet, though it doesn't come up that 
often.

The hardest thing I've run into (which ties into the thread Myles just started) 
is when a films is only available to stream through a commercial site.  This 
really limits the library's ability to offer any support or guarantee that the 
content will be available throughout the duration of the course.   The best 
example I have of a tricky one was Looking For Mr Goodbar, which is OOP on VHS, 
never released on DVD, but was available streaming on Netflix for a limited 
time.

Out of curiosity, Jo Ann (and anyone else who does this), are the faculty 
accepting of this option?  Often when we suggest to faculty that they refer 
students to Amazon Instant or Netflix, etc, they hit the roof.  They think it's 
outrageous to require a student to pay $2.99 to stream a film or to expect them 
to use Netflix, though we know many students have access (most for free from 
their parents).  When we suggest that the student could come to the library if 
they weren't able to afford the $2.99, they think that's pretty outrageous too.

Do you have some magical soothing words you could share that help faculty to 
see this as a reasonable option?

Re: [Videolib] Delivery of digital video

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi Erika,

Information on UNT's digital video delivery:


* We offer access to a single version of the online video- it's on the 
higher bandwidth side.


* The files are flv, hosted on a Flash streaming server and managed by 
a database and user interface our IT department created inhouse (called "Video 
on Demand Collection").  The user interface is searchable and browsable. We 
have some basic metadata (title, length, synopsis, permalink) included.


* We also add bib records for most of the streaming items to the 
library catalog. The exceptions are those titles that we have licensed for a 
limited user group -  90% of the content is listed in the catalog. The catalog 
record directs users to the  Video on Demand Collection to view the video.


* We authenticate access.  Users have to login both on and off campus.  
Access can be limited course enrollment if necessary.


* We just started incorporate closed captions, when we have access to 
the caption file.



* We don't have an embed function, so other sites (like Blackboard) 
have to link back to our collection page for access.

Thanks,
Kim

How is the content searchable?  Do you have high and low bandwidth versions?

For our part, we're delivering video through MDID in high and low bandwidth

Re: [Videolib] PBS streaming video

We have licensed about 60 titles from PBS.  PBS used to have an online list of 
the titles that were available to be licensed for streaming (it was a fairly

no longer works.  The terms and pricing have been significantly different each 
time we've licensed content (2005 - last year).

Re: [Videolib] Question regarding optimal carrier for archival/preservation of digital streaming video

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi Lisa,

I believe the rule of thumb for long term preservation is to choose an open 
format and to maintain the highest quality file that you can.  Sticking with 
MPEG4 might actually be your best option here as it is an open format. You will 
want to make sure you don't further compressing the file if you encoded it into 
a second format.

This question might be better answered on the AMIA Listserv. This type of 
discussion comes up a lot. http://www.amianet.org/resources/pubsres.php

[Videolib] Media viewing room

Hi all,

We have a viewing room in the Media Center that seats 45. This is regularly

1.  Library sponsored film screening

2.  Groups of student (3+) who need to watch the same Reserve film for class

3.  It can be scheduled by faculty for occasional instruction

4.  It can be scheduled by students for groups meeting, small events, and 
film screenings with PPR

We're in the process of updating our website and I'd like to add language about

room can be booked for "movie night" and then Media staff have to explain 
copyright.  I'd like to have a concise statement on our website about this, but

Re: [Videolib] For promotional use only * Not for Broadcast...?

[Stanton, Kim]

Jessica -EMRO reviewers are provided a documents that says films can be kept or 
donated to the library, unless the distributer specifically notes otherwise. 
I've only run into one film that came with a sticker that noted it was a review 
copy only -  I didn't donate this to the library.

I totally agree that knowing the origins of the copy is key. In my other life I 
review screeners for a film festival. In this case, the festival has a 
statement on the submission site that says that we will destroy screener copies 
after review.  I imagine in a lot of cases reviewers have agreed to some kind 
of terms that dictate what can be done with a review copy.

I admit when I see PBS I tend to think of this a review copy for broadcast 
which is COMPLETELY different. A review copy for broadcast or theatrical 
screenings are not in fact "legal" copies that can be resold. It would clearly 
be absurd to claim previews of films sent to critics long before there is a 
legit release of the title ( assuming there is one) are legal copies and if 
fact studios have successfully taken action against people who did try to sell 
such copies.  In general review copies are so heavily marked up with " For 
Preview /Review" purposes only" that I can't imagine any library would actually 
put one in a collection. I know that a number of people on this listserv do 
reviews for EMRO or Videolib and I doubt it is their belief that the review 
copy they are sent can be donated to their collections particularly if as they 
likely do have screener warnings on them.

In general things are far more lax with screeners sent to critics for video 
release. Many have no warning at all on the physical copy and most companies 
are not going to freak out over someone reselling a retail screener on eBay but 
I do know of two cases where critics were cut off from further screeners when 
it was discovered that they not only sold them on eBay, the sold them weeks 
prior to the release date.

Basically you need to know something about a copy's origins before you add it 
to a collection, including is the title legally available on the home market. I 
can't believe you would claim that a screener sent to a newspaper critic to 
review say THE HUNGER GAMES is a legit copy that can be added to a collection ( 
and I am not saying you are, I am just trying to clarify the issue).

Depression: Out of the Shadows

One of our nursing instructors gave us this PBS DVD to add to collection. On

Our cataloger mentioned she had not seen this on a DVD before. I've watched it 
and looked on the website and cannot find any other words of 
caution/wisdom/insight. It is 2 hours long, not a promotional type of length.

I am assuming the "Not for Broadcast" means no PPR. Is this correct? We are a 
little stymied by the "For Promotional Use Only".

Do we need to ask the instructor how she obtained it?

Is it OK to add to our circulating collection?

[Videolib] PPR for videogames?

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi all,

I just had a student ask me if PPR was required when playing videogames in 
public. He intends to hold a small video game tournament on campus and was 
advised by the hosting venue that he might need to obtain performance rights.

The only case law I could find on this in part argued that "playing" was 
different than "performing", making PPR unnecessary. 
http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F3/89/89.F3d.614.html  I also found 
several online discussions with strong opinions and interpretation that PPR was 
not needed.  Does anyone have experience with this or know of any existing 
guidelines?

Thanks!

Re: [Videolib] ACRL Best Practices

[Stanton, Kim]

Representative from CSM and ALA have often stressed that the use of items in 
instruction is not always Fair Use or 110, but could be both. I was hoping this 
code would provide more guidance in defining when Fair Use is in play in 
pedagogy.   

I feel that the Fair Use of feature films in instruction is FARILY clear cut. 
In my experience, outside of Film Studies, most faculty use fairly short 
portions of features films in a way that seems clearly transformative or 
illustrative.   We've all seen examples of this at our universities.  A 
Sociology of the Family course uses a scene from Big Love to illustrate 
nontraditional family structures. A clip from Triumph of the Will is compared 
with a clip from Star Wars of Darth Vader commanding imperial forces.  Etc, etc 
, etc.  

This is not as straightforward when you start talking about the use of 
documentaries in online education, especially those with intrinsic 
instructional value. When a faculty member contacts me and  wants to put an 
educational documentary online, 90% of the time they want the entire film up.  
In my gut, I feel that this is almost always something better covered by 110(2) 
and/or licensed for use, but this Fair Use code is so vague in this regard that 
I don't feel like I can "provide instructors with useful information about the 
nature and the scope of fair use" based on the information outlined here.  

Additionally,  Michael Brewer just brought up the idea that 110(b) is 
essentially a way to take a physical classroom space and translate it into the 
online environment (within those limitations set by 110b). When I first began 
working with faculty who were moving their courses online it was fairly simple 
to distinguish between a core resource and an ancillary one (usually items 
previously assigned to Reserves or considered optional).  However,  faculty are 
now regularly creating online courses from scratch and are no longer tied to 
the concept that the core instructional materials is what can be cover in a 50 
minute time span. This is not a bad thing but it makes applying 110(b) more and 
more difficult.

Re: [Videolib] media workflow change

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi Rhonda,

Coming in late to this conversation. Our workflows and staffing have changed 
several times since we started streaming.  We have about 400 streaming titles 
in our collection, not counting any subscription online video services.

Starting out in 2005/06, the Media department head worked with our IT 
department to get the streaming infrastructure set up and licensed our first 20 
or so titles.

Shortly after, I was hired primarily to manage the streaming content - working 
with faculty, researching rights, licensing (working with Contracts and 
Acquisitions), digitizing, managing the database, creating bib records.

About a year ago, I moved into a new position and we distributed the streaming 
duties across three people.  I still take care of budget, faculty communication 
and licensing; a staff member digitizes, manages the database and does some 
metadata entry; the media cataloger creates bib records for our ILS.  Now that 
these tasks are distributed, the biggest challenges have been communication 
with each other about who's up in the workflow and prioritizing these tasks 
within each of our daily work lives. I think things went a bit smoother when 
the job was centralized, but distributing the tasks among staff is probably 
more realistic for most libraries and since we're mostly cross trained, the 
processing doesn't come to a screeching halt if one of us is gone.

Re: [Videolib] ILL of Section 108 copies

[Stanton, Kim]

Thanks everyone for your feedback.



Regarding obsolescence - We share the same support issues Gail and others have 
brought up. The men in glasses wheeling a projector into the classroom (who 
I'll now fondly refer to as "The Dennis' ") are gone. Last year, the single 
16mm projector that was being delivered out to classrooms broke and the 
department overseeing this service called it quits on supporting 16mm in the 
classroom.  We have about 4 functioning machines left on campus with very few 
people who still know how to properly use them and no one inhouse to do even 
basic repairs. On the rare occasion a faculty member wants to show a 16mm in 
the classroom, our institution basically can't support them.  In a local sense, 
16mm equipment and the skills needed to support it are basically obsolete here 
(in many universities in general???), though as Jessica points out it is still 
available and used in other areas.



Regarding ILL - thanks for this feedback too. This issue had never come up 
before and it stumped me.  I vaguely remembered analog vs. digital being a 
factor in lending of any type.  We generally don't circulation any 16mm films 
outside of the library anyway (especially through ILL), though I will make sure 
to clarify in our catalog records that the 16mm is not an access copy at all.

When I entered the media world in the mid 70's, we were fortunate to have a 
16mm lending library cooperative for subscribing K-12 schools located within 
our library, so had access to a professional 16mm repair and refurbishing 
machine, complete with two experienced operators. While 16mm is a reasonably 
sturdy format, the myriad of casual users (faculty in classrooms and students 
in study rooms) wrecked havoc on our titles.   Improper threading of the 
projector meant large scratches, ripped sprocket holes, etc., and attempts to 
pause for a still-frame usually produced a nice burn. I venture to guess that, 
for many academic libraries that still have 16mm titles on hand, they do not 
have sufficient equipment to keep them viable and are probably short on staff 
who know how to repair them. What about the availability of replacement footage 
for sections so heavily spliced that one or more sequences are rendered 
useless? These factors constitute no reason to pursue an unauthorized, 
wholesale conversion of a 16mm collection to a newer format, but they do weigh 
in on the side of classifying 16mm as an expiring, if not expired, format for 
academic libraries. Due diligence can be applied to finding rights holders 
(we've done it when needed) for permission or license to avoid the necessity of 
keeping a title transferred to DVD in-house. The quest is not always 
successful, but is certainly doable. And this list has provided excellent leads 
in many of our quests. If we still had a 16mm collection, I would be 
concentrating my efforts on replacing and converting as fast as possible.

Re: [Videolib] Creation of Clips

[Stanton, Kim]

In the example below, the researcher asks the library to provide the clip. To 
do this, the library becomes directly involved with the research's personal 
Fair Use assessment. So, a few questions for the group - 

* Does your library provide a clip creation service? If so, does library staff 
create the clip or is the researcher given access to a multimedia editing 
station to create the clip for themself?  

* If library staff is creating the clip, do you require the researcher to 
somehow "prove" they've done a Fair Use assessment? Do you hang on to any 
documentation? At what point, if any, would you question a researcher's Fair 
Use assessment and reconsider providing the clip creation service? 

* If the researcher is given access to a multimedia editing station to create 
the clip themself, does the library provide a generic copyright guideline 
(similar to those used with photocopy machines) or is library staff more 
directly involved in the copyright aspects of each individual project?

Re: [Videolib] shorts on sex and race discrmination

[Stanton, Kim]

For the race discrimination film, you might check California Newsreel’s 
catalog. They have several short Jane Elliott “blue eye/brown eye” films.  Or 
something from the Unnatural Causes series might work -most of these episodes 
are under 30 min. These should be available to license for streaming.

Having unsuccessfully tried to obtain the streaming rights for The Fairer Sex 
and True Colors, both of which aired on ABC’s Primetime Live back in the 
mid-nineties I am turning to your collective wisdom for alternative titles 
which we might stream. I tried contacting ABC without success.

Each of these two shorts was less than 20 minutes in length and the instructor 
wants shorts, not full length.

True Colors  follows two men, equal in all measurable aspects except skin 
color, as they are involved in a variety of situations to test levels of 
prejudice based on skin color. Attempts to heighten awareness of prejudices and 
practices affecting the social and economic quality of life for Afro-Americans 
in the framework of a nation aspiring to equal proction under the law.

The Fairer Sex – topic = sex discrimination

Re: [Videolib] Foreign language materials

[Stanton, Kim]

We circulate foreign language learning CDs and Playaways (self-contained, 
portable MP3 devices). We've purchased Pimsleur,  Colloquial Series and Henry 
Ramond's Learn In Your Car series. The Pimsleur language learning Playaways are 
our highest circing audiobook materials.

CDs are circ'd as a full set, along with their print guides.  We use to barcode 
each piece, but recently changed our processing to one barcode with a note that 
pops up in our ILS noting how many discs are in the set. Playaways are 
circulated with the MP3 device and the battery -  we removed the headphone that 
came with the set.

Our audiobook circ rules (loan period, fines, lendable to "courtesy card" 
holders) are the same rules used for books, rather than other forms of media. 
Though, like other media materials, audiobooks are still kept in the media 
center in closed stacks.

Re: [Videolib] MSNBC

[Stanton, Kim]

Gail,

My library follows Kastenmeier guidelines, which outline a limited time period 
we should keep the off-air recording (see Matt's link below).  The biggest 
issue we have is when faculty want the materials available longer term. 
Sometimes we're able to purchase a permanent copy through the station, though 
it seems to typically take 4-6 weeks after broadcast for a copy to be made and 
shipped to us. Kastenmeier is usefully for serving really immediate faculty 
needs.

Good luck,

Re: [Videolib] FW: another film outfit wanting to sell performance rights

[Stanton, Kim]

In Wiseman's case, he is (very intentionally) the sole distributer of his works 
and can enforce tiered pricing.  You aren't purchasing public performance 
rights, you're purchasing the DVD at the institutional rate and PPR has 
traditionally been thrown in for good measure, whether you need it or not.

You mentioned Amazon - if you're referring to La Danse, it looks like Zipporah 
is the Amazon seller. I imagine they'd deny your request for the home video 
purchase (if you're purchasing with a university credit card or address) and 
ask you to buy the institutional version.  We've had this happen in the past.

This particular film by Frederick Wiseman - the one I am buying a personal copy

guess I'm unclear as to whether the filmmaker can insist on libraries 
purchasing performance rights if they only sell the film in question on their

Re: [Videolib] The case of the disappearing VHS players

[Stanton, Kim]

Vicky, 

I've never heard of a blanket license like this. I'm guessing your best bet is 
to find out what content is available on DVD and repurchase in this format. 
Depending on the size of your VHS collection, it could take a while to get an 
estimate on this.  

We had something similar happen on our campus a few years ago.  We were able to 
convince our Classroom Support department to leave VHS and LD players in a few 
key classrooms where we were able to prove they were regularly needed.  This 
department will also deliver and hook up VHS players in classroom with AV 
support if given sufficient notice by the faculty member. 

This year our media center started circulating a VHS player, allowing students 
and faculty to take it out of the library for home or classroom use.  It's 
checked out about once a week - we're thinking of circulating a few more.  

Yes, definitely hoard those players if you can! 

Good luck,

I have just attended a meeting at which it was mentioned in an off-handed 
remark that every VHS player in our campus classrooms will be removed over the 
summer.

When I objected, and asked if there was any money being set aside to pay for 
the copyright permissions to convert our library's holdings, the VP of Finance 
said, "Why don't you give me a number."

SO.

Is there such a thing as a blanket license to convert commercially made VHS 
tapes to DVD for a non-profit institutional use?   (Don't laugh at me, I just 
have to ask.)

Does anyone have experience they can share with me - off list, if you prefer - 
in stopping/surviving this madness, or shall I just scavenge all the players I 
can find and store them in the library for the foreseeable future?


I've searched the list archives, but the "digitizing - procedural question" 
thread, while helpful, doesn't say where to start securing permission or with 
whom, for a conversion.


Thanks for your time and knowledge,

[Videolib] Off air record question

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi all,

I've had a request from an administrator to record a short portion of a two 
hour national morning talk show. Our university participated in a study that is 
going to be reported on during a 10 minute segment of the show. The 
administrator doesn't have a specific use in mind for it, she just thinks it 
would be beneficial to have as a record.

So, does this fall under Kastenmeier? I always had the impression this 
guideline covered more in class teaching related uses, plus the 10day/45 day 
rules don't help me out much here.  Is there a legally acceptable way for the 
library to record a segment of this program and keep it indefinitely? Possibly 
even restricted to in-house use?

Thanks,

Re: [Videolib] (Electronic) Ordering: Media

[Stanton, Kim]

UNT's process is also similar to what Anthony and Jeanne described. GOBI is 
used for books and some a la carte ebook acquisitions, but most other materials 
(including media) are handled differently.


For home video/ feature films, I usually compile an Amazon wishlist of item and 
send this to my acquisitions person for purchase.  The universal wishlist 
function is nice - I can included non-Amazon websites/ sellers in the list. If 
there are no urgent requests, I usually send this list to acquisition when it 
hits around 30 items, or every 2-3 weeks.



Ed. films/ Institutional purchase - If I'm ordering several film from a single 
vendor or will receive some sort of discount, I have a excel form I fill out 
and email to my acquisitions dept.  There are fields to note fund codes, 
"notify" notes, discounts, sales rep, etc.  If it's a single item, I sometimes 
just include it in the aforementioned Amazon list, using the outside link 
function.



Digital rights/ anything with a contract are a completely separate process.

Thanks,
Kim

DVD orders are a whole another ballgame. Generally what I do is
submit to our Acquisitions Dept. lists (on Word) of films asking to be ordered.
I submit two kinds of such lists: one for feature films (generally
available through Amazon) and a totally separate one for documentary
features. With both lists I provide for each title bibliographic information
as provided by WorldCat. With documentary films I also provide our

they watched on Netflix (either DVD or streaming) for the collection and I 
haven't been able to locate a new or used copy for sale anywhere.  I've also 
run into a few instances where a film has never been released on DVD, but you 
can watch instantly (usually for a limited time frame) on Netflix. Looking for 
Mr. Goodbar ('77)  is the only example I can think of offhand.

Is Netflix streaming being used by studios to gauge interest in older film 
before releasing on DVD? Or are they already starting to bypass the physical 
copy for streaming?  And I've noticed a few newish releases that are available 
streaming (Netflix or Amazon Instant) but not DVD - I thought this was a "watch 
exclusively here for the first month" thing, but now I'm wondering if these 
films will ever come out on DVD.

Is this another sign of an impending physical media apocalypse?

Re: [Videolib] VHS Collections

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi Andy, 

We're still regularly running our tapes through an RTI tapechek -  this is done 
systematically, cleaning from the beginning to the end of the collection, then 
repeat. At the same time, we're identifying which VHS we also have on DVD and 
are preparing to send those tapes to remote storage. We haven't run into 
serious space issues, so no weeding yet. 

There are only a small handful of items we've transferred under Section 108.

Good morning,
  I'm brand new to the list. I've posted this to the PADG and Archives 
list as well, but I wanted to get your thoughts on how your institution 
may be handling VHS tapes. We used to have a policy in place where we 
would play these tapes to prevent packing, but this hasn't been done in 
years. Is anyone still doing this? Are you converting VHS tapes to DVD 
or are you converting them for streaming? Are you replacing these where 
appropriate (within the constraints of copyright law? How often do you 
weed, if at all, and how do you "persuade" selectors to work with these 
collections and make decisions? Are there any other strategies you're 
using for evaluating existing collections?
 Also, how are you following or dealing with copyright issues relating 
to this subject. I appreciate any help. Thanks. --Andy

[Videolib] Documentary about The Oresteia

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi all,

I have a faculty member who swears up and down that she use to show a doc about 
Aeschylus's Oresteia trilogy (Agamemnon/ Libation bearers/ Furies) -  
specifically Peter Hall's National  Theatre production. It was a behind the 
scenes look at the production of the play, including stage work and the 
creation of the masks.   It was under 1 hour long,  she thinks it was Films 
Media Group, but she says it was definitely not Staging Classic Tragedy (Film 
for the Humanities, '89) or The Oresteia : the trilogy (Films for the 
Humanities, 3 part, '83).

Anyone have an idea?

I am curious to know what your general approach is to cataloging movies which

A) One record with three parts, e.g. The First Films of Samuel Fuller (set,

B) Three individual records, e.g. The Steel Helmet, The Baron of Arizona, and I 
Shot Jesse James?

If you have an extra second and could let me know what kind of library you

The estate is VERY protective of the scores and does not allow the films to be 
shown or released on DVD without the original scores. The Chaplin films are now

Since I don't believe they have gotten to THE KID yet, they would basically

[Videolib] Swank Digital Campus

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi all,

I think we're about to license our first streaming film through Swank Digital 
Campus.  The usage scenario is so different from what I normally deal with.  
Typically, my library licenses individual films from distributers for use by 
all current student & faculty, for a term ranging from 3 years to perpetuity 
and we stream the content from a library-run server and management system. The 
Swank content would be license for 1 semester,  would only be accessible to a 
specific class and would be hosted off-site.

I'm trying to figure out what my library's role should be in the Swank 
scenario.  If you've used Swank Digital Campus at your institution (or deal 
with other short term/ course specific digital rights), could you tell me how 
this was handled.


* Who is responsible for the transaction  - i.e  whose name is on the 
contract/ invoice? The Library, the academic department,  the faculty member, 
another campus group?



* Who directly pays for the content?



* If both of the above were handled by the library, was there any 
resistance to this sort of short term, limited access being the library's 
responsibility?



* Is there another department on your campus that more directly 
supports development and resources for online courses?   What was their 
involvement?

Are MARC Records available for titles in Films On

MARC records are not typically created for digital streaming video titles. MARC 
records for most DVD & VHS items are available from Films Media Group, and some 
institutions have adapted these for digital use. To inquire about availability 
and cost of these records, please call 800-257-5126 and press 2 for a customer 
service representative to assist you. Other institutions have used FMG-provided 
metadata as substitutes for MARC records.

This is inadequate for us. We have a collection with hundreds of films from 
them and our ONE cataloger is having to create MARC records for each film so 
that they can be accessible to our students. What are others doing? We are 
unwilling to place a link to the database without catalog records, as we tried 
that with Alexander Street Press and that got virtually no usage.

PSU in Portland has done records for one collection, but we have a couple of 
them. Suggestions are appreciated...jen

[Videolib] Video in support of federal programs

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi all,

I'm working with a political science instructor who wants to show 2 films - one 
supporting state's rights and the other supporting strong federal programs.  
We've found a few pro - state films, but I'm having a hard time with the pro 
federal side.  The instructor is looking for a broad overview of this issue, 
but is interest in covering topics like social security (reducing number of 
seniors below the poverty line), desegregation, federal highway systems, etc.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

We've found that discs that won't play in a standalone DVD player are typically

Hi Rhonda!
I had this issue pop up several years ago with the Films for the Humanities 
discs; I contacted them to see if they would be able to sell me more 
"professionally burned" discs-at a higher price, no less-and they said they 
would not. At our end, I simply had to "recall" all of our discs that I had 
purchased from them, since they were far more trouble than they were worth in 
our collection. I now avoid buying these cheaply made DVD-Rs altogether. There 
is no legal recourse, most likely, but IANAL. We certainly would not be legally 
allowed to create some sort of usable disc on our own. I would like to hear 
what others' experiences have been, though, because those products are 
attractive other than their disgracefully cheap materials.

So, we have gotten a lot of DVD-Rs in our collection over the last few years,

Thanks, Myles (et. al.)  I'm still open for suggestions -- the response has 
been great from a collection development standpoint, but unfortunately many of 
the great titles suggested  have been used by this instructor in past years (or 
have already been suggested to her).  Since she teaches the class every fall, 
I'm most hoping for film suggestions from 2009/2010 (2008 at the earliest).  
It's the currency part of the equation that always proves to be tricky for us.  
Also, she definitely concentrates on non-U.S. films.

Hi All,

My annual appeal to the collective brain:

I have a women's studies instructor who teaches a class on gender issues in 
world film each fall.  She tries to use all new titles each semester, and it 
can be a challenge for her to find a new slate each year.  Any recent releases 
that come to mind would be greatly appreciated.  Here are the topics / areas 
that are of particular interest for her:  "intersexuality, reproductive rights, 
marriage choice, prostitution, religion and cultural gendered practices."

She is ONLY interested in feature films -- not documentaries.

Thanks in advance,

Re: [Videolib] Digital Streaming

[Stanton, Kim]

My IT department was able to turn off the Real Player "record" function on 
content being streamed from our server. We're also about to move away from 
Real, to Flash.



In general, I agree with everything Gary said. We stream, authenticate, put a 
copyright notice on the site (as well as include the notice from the original 
film) and implement a few other technical protections, but I don't think any 
system can fully anticipate and protect against piracy.



Larry, are you able to tell if the files you are sending take down notices for 
are originating from streaming site, or from someone ripping a DVD and throwing 
it online. I get the impression that the latter is still a more widespread 
problem.

Kim

Hi Larry



Well, in the case of the loathsome Real Player, the obvious way to avoid

issues would be to encode in a format which Real can't handle...



As a general principle, however:  if the institution is licensing password

authentication rather than IP authentication (in other words, if the

stream is available to all institutionally validated users from

wherever...) it's virtually impossible to prevent digital shenanigans, if

shenanigans are gonna happen.  Libraries have historically indemnified

themselves by giving clear indication to users of copyright requirements

and restrictions (for example, the CONTU guidelines posted near copying

machines).  Policing copyright use beyond that is almost impossible.



While there are technical workaround to secure files for use by

authenticated users or locations, I've never seen or heard of a fix for

potential piracy...  One hopes that streaming, rather than allowing

downloading, will take care of many of problems, but, as you indicate,

there is no absolute solution at present.
