Hey Mary Lou

Well, whether there's a problem or not depends on how wild and wooly your
institution is in interpreting fair use.

Section 108 (which makes allowances for duplicating legally acquired,
physically at-risk items no longer available for purchase at fair market
prices)allows use of duplicated materials in the library building... More
liberal interpretations of this MIGHT allow for use of such materials in a
classroom... Streaming for access of 108-duplicated materials might
(MIGHT) hold up if access were limited to use within the library physical
plant...access more widely (e.g. off campus by students in a
course)...well, that's pushing things pretty hard.  Our lawyer for the
Mellon project I'm involved in is a pretty liberal guy (at least, for a
lawyer)doesn't think it'd fly. The 108 Study Group (which was charged with
looking at that section of the copyright law and making
recommendations)didn't deal with online delivery of 108-eligible material.

Then there's the whole UCLA, how-and-what-kinda-use-is-fair-use thing...

If it were me, I wouldn't.  Clips, maybe.  Whole works, too risky.

 I am appealing to the collective wisdom of the list!  I am helping a dance
 professor put together an online course on the history of dance.  She is
 using multiple library resources - some will be entire programs with
 permissions, some will be entire programs with licensing fees, and others
 will be fair use excerpts.

 My question to you all:  is there any problem with digitizing vhs material
 that is the personal property of the faculty member and no longer
 available for us to purchase for the AV Library?  They are legally
 acquired copies of the professor, and I would apply the same standards of
 trying to trace rights that I have done for the library material.  We
 would not be keeping copies in the AV Library.  The digitizations are
 strictly for the online course the professor is teaching.

 I don't think that there is a problem, but I thought that I would check it
 out with my colleague experts!!

 Hi, Gary.

 Thanks so much for your answer to my question.

 Actually, we have been given the right to digitize the entire dance
 program by the producer.  Our faculty member actually worked on the
 documentary, and thus has her legally acquired copy.  However, I can see
 that we should purchase the documentary for the AV Library before
 proceeding with the digitization - which will only be accessible to
 students in the online dance history classes.

 Boy, Gary, are we going to miss you and your wisdom on this listserv!!!
 You must be counting down the days...!

 Hi all,

 I'm looking for recent (2010 or later) documentaries that address media
 industries (film, television, music) outside of the US.  The faculty
 member is particularly interested in emerging, non Western media
 industries and their economic and/or cultural impact.   Nollywood Babylon
 is a great example, though we're looking for additional, more current
 content.

 I'm also looking for a recent (2010 or later) documentary that addresses
 international advertising - the focus should be on advertising outside of
 the US.  The faculty member has used In Brands We Trust/ No Logo for
 several years, but is looking for something more current.  The Clio Awards
 are on our list.  Any other suggestions???


 Thanks in advance!

Re: [Videolib] Faculty's personally owned copies and digitization

Are we disagreeing?  I don't read it that way, Dennis...

Gary


 And I hate to (sorta, kinda) disagree with my friend Gary a week before he
 leaves us and I do understand that pushing the boundaries is something
 libraries are doing because, frankly, there's a growing movement, budgets
 are extremely tight and more importantly distributors don't want to
 prosecute. Let's face it, if a producer -- right or wrong -- sued
 everybody, there'd be a lot less discussion. But I think people will
 follow
 this reasoning as that 25% right plus 25% right plus 25% right plus 25%
 right makes it possibly 100% right. I know you couched it in terms of
 might but I truly believe it's correct in this kind of situation to be
 clearing it with the licensor since it's so iffy in its entirety.

 Bestest,
 Dennis

Subject: [Videolib] Mellon Video At Risk Project

Hi all

I've recently sent in our final, phase II report regarding Berkeley's
participation in the Mellon Videos at Risk Project. If you'll
remember,
this is a project to develop best practices for: 1) identifying
items in
library video collections that are currently out of distribution and
which
show some signs of physical deterioration 2) researching current
availability of these items in the commercial market (i.e.
mechanisms/procedures for demonstrating good-faith attempts at
meeting the
broad fair market stipulations of copyright section 108) 3) broad
practices and standards for both preservation and access digitization
of
materials identified as qualifying for allowances of Section 108.

The sources we consulted:

a. Google OCLC:
i. Video title
ii. Production company name
iii. Director name(s)
iv. Producer name(s)
b. Facebook, Linkedin
c. amazon US (amazon will be consulted for the availability of
non-fiction titles in home video distribution)
d. videolib listserv (an international discussion list for video
librarians that currently has over 1,200 subscribers, including
librarians, archivists, educators, filmmakers and film/video
distributors
e. US Copyright Registry (for post-1978 titles)

We are generally looking at non-fiction titles and performance works
(rather than theatrical movies). We are also going to have to come
to
grips with the current restrictions placed by 108 on where/how
reproduced
materials may be used and how these materials may be delivered. (the
project is working with an excellent legal guy on these issues)

In any case, I promised deg I'd put out Berkeley's list of materials
identified as being out of distribution/at risk. It is attached.

It should be noted that Berkeley took a considerably different tact
in
pursuing this project than NYU. The grant formally called for
investigating at risk materials in partner collection held by 3 or
fewer
institutions in the US. Early on, Berkeley decided instead to look
at at-
risk titles that have been identified as high--or at least
consistent--use, regardless of their scarcity in US libraries.

I've handed the future of this project over to Berkeley's
preservation
department--a group of folks that has had some really useful
experiences
in
dealing with statewide archival moving image and sound materials.
I'm
certain they'll be great at picking up the torch.

Let me know if you have questions.

partnership with the Pacifica Radio Archives, I'm shepherding a really
cool collection of historical (1950s-70s) audio recordings concerning
women and the women's movement into digital life.  The first 26 recordings
are up and available to all at
http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/womenpacifica.html

Real player required...

Anyone involved in women's studies groups or organizations, pls forward
this info.

Re: [Videolib] Difficulties in obtaining streaming rights

Well...at present there are two alternatives, and really two only

1.  Throw up your hands and find another film...assuming that streaming
without permission or license does not stand up to fair use tests or your
institution's tolerance for risk...

or

2.  Cast your lots with the risk-tolerant and UCLA and go to the liberal
interpretation battlements by streaming first and asking questions later.

 I swear, this whole streaming thing is enough to make me want to retire
 early!

 If we are interested in streaming an entire film, what are we supposed
 to do when the source (filmmaker, production co., whatever) has only an
 online presence and is so small that their website indicates no phone #
 or real email address?  I can message them through their website, but if
 there is no response, then what?  Stop and do nothing, even though we
 have a summer session course beginning in a couple of days?  I don't
 think so.

 We want to do things the right way, the legal way, but if there is no
 one to deal with, then all I can do is print out my queries as evidence
 that I have covered my a-- and then we proceed on our own.  And if
 someone out there in the world comes forward and is upset, then I say,
 Fine, PLEASE let us give you some money.  What alternative is there?

 Maybe these little companies should turn over the business side of their
 operation to some larger entity (e.g. Action! Library Media Service,
 Midwest Tape, or someone of that ilk) who can operate efficiently.

 I would still say based on Judith's assessment and looking over a

 saying that if 100% of a copyrighted material is put up on a

 there is no part of this decision that would say it's permissible. And
 I do believe Jessica is right that there are many institutions that
 are allowing this to happen.

 I would like to remind one and all that we are ALL colleagues in the

 This is patently NOT TRUE.  US copyright law identifies amount  as one of
 the four factors in determining whether a use is fair use, but it has
 NEVER specified that only the smallest possible amount is permissible.

Re: [Videolib] PPR question

2012-05-14 Thread ghandman

Hi

Well, maybe you could bring in a couple of table lamps, a nice area rug,
and comfy couch and call it home video viewing...

Strictly speaking, what you're proposing doing constitutes public
performance, and therefor requires rights. On the other hand, depends on
how risk-averse you are and what it is that you're thinking of screening. 
If it's Bullfrog or Video Project or another indie distributor, I'd bet a
nice courtesy call would get you an OK.  Again, if you're feeling frisky,
you might just go ahead and do it (unless it's a Disney film). Seems like
the risk of mad dog litigation is pretty small.

 Hi, all,

 I'm going to be participating in a community Green Festival - many booths
 of vendors/organizations promoting Green Living.  Could I take a laptop
 and run a couple of subject oriented DVDs to show examples of what we
 have?  They would run for the whole program - about 5 hours.  I also have
 a powerpoint presentation from last year that I can run on a continuous
 loop, but I thought the DVDs would create a little more interest in our
 booth.  If I need PPR, I just won't do it.  Thanks.

Re: [Videolib] Community Practices in the Fair Use of Video in Libraries

2012-05-04 Thread ghandman

Hi all

Well...as my screed yesterday demonstrates, it's never too late to be
stupid. As my friend Judy Thomas reminded me (tactfully offline), I was,
indeed, surveyed for this project. I owe an apology to Judy and her
hard-working crew, as well as thanks for attempting to bring at least a
bit of clarity to these knotty and often maddeningly obtuse issues.

I think my lashing out stems from a general and continuing frustration
with the fact that, in all too many cases, policy and practice and
advocacy in the areas of video copyright and licensing, fair use, etc. are
often being made in the library and academic worlds by individuals and
groups who have very little knowledge of or stake in either the worlds of
video production and distribution, or the on-going process of video
collection development and management. The direct relationship between
the economic health and viability of content producers/distributors and
the building of useful and diverse collections is something about which
those of us actually doing media know a great deal. Not so much the
pundits at ARL...

My rather snarky note yesterday was penned with an apparently ill-founded
fear that the right people weren't being queried, and that these
misinformed responses would form the basis of best practice...

In any case...I hope Judy and her team will forgive my late-career lapse
in judgment.

Dear Colleagues,
The Fair Use and Video Project has posted online its document titled
Community Practices in the Fair Use of Video in Libraries,
http://pages.shanti.virginia.edu/Fair_Use_and_Video/.
For an introduction to the document, please see Carrie's Russell's blog
post on ALA'S District Dispatch at
http://www.districtdispatch.org/2012/04/introducing-community-practices-in-the-fair-use-of-video-in-libraries/
.
To those of you who contributed your time and effort to answer our
surveys, attend our focus groups, or comment on our drafts, we offer you
our sincere thanks.
This project began as an attempt by the Video Roundtable to establish a
recommended body of practice in the fair use of video for educational
purposes. A team of six librarians, with advice and guidance from ALA’s
Office of Information Technology Policy, coordinated the process of
gathering input from the media librarian community and then created a
document describing our findings. We decided to focus on documenting our
community practices, i.e. how librarians routinely and responsibly fulfill
their mission to preserve and provide access to our cultural record.
The team conducted in-person interviews at national conferences and hosted
a series of focus groups at locations across the country: Boston, Seattle,
Evanston, Washington, D.C. and Richmond. About eighty library staff
members with varying responsibilities for buying, processing, and/or
supporting the educational use of video were included in our surveys.
We welcome your comments and suggestions! This is a living document and
your comments may prompt revisions. If you'd like to leave a comment,
please use the Comments link on the right. Please do let me know if you
have any problems accessing or using the site.

I wish Judy et al had vetted this survey via this list--one would assume a
prime target. I'll admit to a rapidly failing memory, but I don't recall
being asked to take this survey...

The answers you get in a survey such as this MUST be assessed in light of
who's doing the responding (i.e. the defined community). Given the
rather insane and continuing paucity of professionals devoted either in
significant part or whole to overseeing media collection development and
management in academic libraries, and given the likely cloudy or
incomplete understanding of current market and legal issues by those not
directly involved in the practice, I think you gotta take such results
with several grains of salt. Using community practice as the basis of
best practice when the community surveyed is largely clueless ain't a
particularly good way to go.

Gary

Well, deg's right that it'll probably cause some consternation among my
people -- it's definitely inflammatory in its descriptions of distributors
and the us versus them rhetoric and who owns the copyright law. I do
appreciate the line near the end Not a single librarian revealed herself
as being either cavalier about the law or dismissive of the market and
know it to be the case among most but it would be nice to have some of the
discussions we've had here about the balancing the needs of education
versus the sustainability of producing new content. The lack thereof makes
me want to set up fishing dates with Gary. :-)

Forgive me if this is not of interest to the members of this list, just

I held a free 16mm screening of Eisenstein's Strike! at one of our
library branches last night.

A rather no-frills set up in the community room with two Eiki SSL-0s
perched on top of a coat rack (yes) at the back of the room above head
level, projecting onto the pull-down screen at the front. Folding chairs
set up. As the film was silent, a live soundtrack was provided by Brown
University PhD student and electronic recording artist Blevin Blectum
(Bevin Kelley) through our portable PA system.

40 people showed up which is pretty good for a rainy Tuesday night. All
were thrilled by the film and the sound. The print was a very nice one,
such that a number of people remarked on the clarity and sharpness of the
image and asked me afterwards if it was new and were astounded when I
told them that it's probably 30-40 years old.

Some pictures taken off the screen can be found here:

 Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls

 It is with a mix of melancholy, ebullience, slight trepidation, and vast
 relief that I announce my forthcoming retirement from the University of
 California Berkeley and the Media Resources Center on June 28, 2012.
 Today marks my 33rd anniversary with the University, and this year my
 36th
 as a librarian (a fact which seems more than a little surreal to me).
 I’ve been director of the Media Center for about 28 of those years, and
 there hasn’t been week, good or bad, that has gone by without my
 murmuring
 a little thanks for the cosmic hiccups that allowed me to stumble into
 such a cool and personally rewarding gig.   I simply cannot think of
 anywhere that I would have been happier professionally, or another
 position in which I would have grown and learned and contributed as
 much.

 In some sense, I feel a bit like Mark Twain, who was born during the
 fiery
 appearance of Halley’s Comet, and who went out with its reappearance, 74
 years later.  I began my career in media in the early 80s, at the dawn
 of
 the home video age (or the “Video Revolution” as it was often
 hyperbolically called in the library literature at the time).  I’m
 bowing
 out of the business at a time when the technologies and economics of
 video
 production and distribution, and the video content universe itself are
 again in a state of radical flux.  Along with these changes, video
 collections and service in libraries are also bound to experience major
 tremors and evolutionary shifts.  I’m not sure whether I’m leaving the
 scene feeling sanguine or pessimistic about this future, but in any case
 it’s definitely going to be an interesting and challenging next decade.

 I am going to miss all my long-time professional pals profoundly, both
 those on the library side and the distributor side of the fence.  I grew
 up with a number of you in this field, and along the way you’ve become a
 kind of extended workaday family, complete with the obstreperous
 get-togethers, occasional bickering, and comforting sympathy.  I’m also
 heartened by the number of young, creative, and energetic colleagues who
 have hopped on board in more recent times.  Definitely makes me less
 gloomy about prospects for the future.

 Not sure exactly what I’m going to do next:  I’d like to continue
 teaching
 film somewhere on campus or off; I’m up for grabs as a consultant; want
 to
 write a bit; gotta catch up on all the national cinemas I’ve given
 short-shrift to over the years; want to log in more gym time; would like
 to hone my banjo and ukulele-playing chops; want to get back to
 freelance
 cartooning and illustration.  At very least, I’m aiming at becoming an
 accomplished and well-known Berkeley flâneur and café personality.

 As for the fate of the UC Berkeley Media Resources Center…  In light of
 the dire economic straits into which UC has been shoved, it is almost
 completely unlikely that my position will be filled any time soon.  The
 future of the redoubtable MRC collection and website remains murky, at
 best.  I can’t really think about all of this too much; it’s just too
 damn
 depressing to ponder, and I’ve got other things on my mind. In other
 words, après moi, le deluge, and there’s not a damn thing I can do about
 it.

 For the time being, Gisele Tanasse (MLIS), crack MRC Operations Czarina,
 will look after the shop.  She has also graciously agreed to keep an

 Happy Monday,

 I have a faculty member who is looking for academic articles, white
 papers,
 conference reports, anything on interactive documentaries. I found just a
 couple articles in Comm/Mass Media Complete and Film/TV Lit Index.
 However,
 I am really having a hard time finding books on the topic. Does anyone
 have
 any suggestions on alternative subject terms or other sources to search?
 Specifically, the professor is looking for information on the basics as
 well
 as future trends.

 Thanks!

 Dear Jodi,

 Hope you're well.

 I have to teach about three lectures on interactive documentary in Leiden
 this summer and was wondering if a reference librarian could help me
 identify some academic papers on the subject. I am looking for the basics
 and perhaps something on future trends.

 What do you recommend?

Re: [Videolib] FW: Interactive Documentary

That's not documentary-making; that's YouTube with a slick editor.

Gary



 I don't know of articles, etc. but I would suggest looking up the film
 Life
 In A Day - it was at Sundance and was sponsored by YouTube and was culled
 together from thousands of entries from all over the world...could be a
 good
 example of what you're looking for...(and it turned out to be a lot better
 than I expected).

Re: [Videolib] FW: Interactive Documentary

Dude!  I was BORN in curmudgeon space!

Here's my koan for the day:

What is the sound of a social network trying to say something meaningful?

gary



 I can see how this concept would fit into a course on documentary, as
 personal/reflective or group creation  Influenced by social media and
 so forth. Possibly analogous to exquisite corpse poetry (e.g. Rachels
 example).

 I get a kick out of Gary going into curmudgeon space. That was a

 On another matter, a reply i made to Jodie seems to have gone to the group

Hi

It's not really rocket science.  You contact the person(s) responsible for
acquisition and if they're interested, they'll ask for a screener for
consideration.

The alternative, of course, is to set up your own lemonade stand on the
internet and hope for the best...

Maybe our vendor friends on this list will chime in?

 Hey,

 I'd like to start producing educational videos.  Would someone be willing

Re: [Videolib] domestic violence documentaries

2012-04-06 Thread ghandman

Hi

Here's a Women Make Movies title that looks at women in prison who lobby
on behalf of abused women:

Sin by Silence
From behind prison walls, the film reveals the lives of extraordinary
women who advocated for a future free from domestic violence. Inside
California's oldest women's prison, the first inmate-initiated and led
group in the U.S. prison system was created by inmate Brenda Clubine
to help abused women speak out and realize they are not alone. Over
the past two decades, the women of CWAA, Convicted Women Against
Abuse, have changed laws for battered women and raised awareness for
those on the outside. The documentary tells the personal and shocking
stories of these courageous women who have learned from their past,
are changing their future, and most importantly, are teaching us how
domestic violence affects each and every person. Directed  produced
by Olivia Klaus. Special features (ca. 2 hrs.): Violence and abuse
discussion clips (40 min.) -- CWAA Meetings clips (11 min.) --
Batterer's perspective featurette (14 min.)-- Law enforcement and
corrections discussion clips (22 min.) -- Legal aspects discussion
clips (24 min.) -- Faith-based discussion clips (15 min.) -- Brenda
Clubine clips (12 min.). c2009. 49 min.

and another on sort of the same topic (available as home video)

'Til Death Do Us Part
Takes the viewer on a journey with incarcerated battered women, as
they relate their stories from first falling in love, through the
abuse by their spouses, the murder, trial, parole process, and
finally, for one woman, freedom. It is thought in our society that a
woman can leave an abusive relationship at any time. However, the
women in this film prove the contrary. They were under the age of 24,
isolated from their families and had virtuallly no money. They all
reached a point where there was a final beating in which the survival
instinct prevailed. In these final moments, they snapped and killed.
Produced and directed by Vita Lusty. Special features: Director's film
notes ; short film Cops to courts: saving our women ; short film
Bybee ; live performance video of Faith Nolan. c2008. 92 min.

Re: [Videolib] FW: pricing

Hi Nahum

If you're going to be selling streaming rights, you're actually selling a
kind of use license.  At very least you'll need to indicate the duration
of the rights (i.e. will these rights remain with the licensee in
perpetuity?  For a limited time?  etc.)  You should also consider
developing a separate license document which states the terms and
conditions of use (e.g. who may have access to this stream?  Institutional

 Susan Thanks for your remarks.

 See our web-site www.docsfofeducation.com

 You can see we give different price for PPR and library  classroom use,
 as
 a distributer I can't offer a lending only option to Colleges 
 Universities
 for according to the legal info I got a face to face situation screening
 is
 allowed because it will be a legal copy, but possible to public library,
 but
 I still don't have enough info as how to price it and my primer mission is
 getting the filmmaker a good return.

 But I have a query for all, as some universities have started to stream
 films is it legal to state  PPR without streaming rights  PPR with
 streaming rights with $100 extra for streaming rights

 Cheers

 And not just publics.  I purchase films for an academic library, and the
 vast majority of our checkouts are for personal home (or dorm or frat...)
 use or for faculty showing a film in a face-to-face teaching situation.
 For
 any public screening, we make sure we've purchased PPR.  So I disagree
 with
 the idea that there's no reason to license for lending only.  That's
 most
 of what we do!



 Yes, for documentaries, I do often pay a higher price because PPR is
 that's
 all that's offered -- and since it's a fine work, I'm willing to pay it,
 hoping someone WILL come along and use it in a film series or special
 event
 screening... but unfortunately, the vast majority of the ones for which
 I've
 paid PPR never do get screened publicly.  Thus I have been appreciative of
 Kino Lorber's offering 3 options:  home use, institutional, and
 institutional with PPR.  That way, if I suspect something will be likely
 to
 be screened, I can go ahead  pay more for the with PPR option; but if I
 doubt it, I can get it for ~$100 less and have it ready for those lending
 only situations.  This frees up more budget to buy more films.



 That's a long way of saying I agree with the notion of institutional
 without PPR and institutional with PPR options, priced appropriately.
 I
 believe it would help your sales.

 Dear Gary,

 It wasn't until early this morning that it hit me
 and then all the analogies began streaming in.
 Your timing for retirement does comes at the
 end of an era/beginning of a new one. The main
 analogy is that for people like you and I, who
 grew up during the analog era, the last 15-20
 years have been essentially comparable to the
 first 15-20 years of the advent of moving images.
 I'm equating the birth of film to the birth of
 the internet. The internet arrived, access to
 information was at the tips of one's typing
 fingers and a new system for the distribution of
 all kinds of information was available to
 everyone (more or less). In 1895 after several
 years of experimentation, motion pictures were
 being shown in many parts of the world and
 provided access to worlds beyond anyone's
 imagination. In 1995, we were making decisions
 about whether we liked Mosaic or Netscape better
 as browsers. I liked Mosaic (but then I liked
 betamax over VHS). Roughly 17 years later, around
 1912, motion pictures came into their own and
 serious feature-length films were becoming
 standard fare, attached to film directors whose
 development of film style left a lasting mark. In
 2012, content distribution is taking a serious
 turn to streaming and leaving its mark about how
 we think about owning digital files of images -
 moving or still, and sounds - music or spoken
 content. Content itself is becoming more
 physically intangible. We can personally own
 books, films, music, but they do not reside on
 shelves, rather they reside somewhere Out There
 and we need devices to access them and to pay to
 store them. So, you are leaving us at a time
 where we have crossed the threshold to the next phase of technology.

 I remember when I first met you in person, as
 opposed to online. It was in Austin in 1995 at
 the Summer Institute at U of T at Austin
 entitled, Video, CD-ROM and Beyond. I remember
 giving a paper about film preservation and making
 some off the cuff remark about video on demand.
 Be careful what you wish for, I guess. Here we
 are with access to more things than we thought
 were even possible 17 years ago.

 Now about you and what you have done for us: I
 started my career at a time when correspondence
 meant writing memos and letters. Retrieving one's
 phone messages meant rewinding the audio-cassette
 on the answering machine attached to one's analog
 phone (and prior to that, calling into one's
 answering service and talking to someone who gave
 you your messages). Then modems and clunky e-mail
 and the internet arrived. And then Gary gave us
 videolib and a new way of professional
 communication. In the old days the easiest way to
 find a distributor for a film was to contact
 someone who might know. Information was passed
 along verbally by those who knew or who knew
 someone who would know. Many reference books
 tended to be out of date by the time they were
 published and so after a few years on the job, a
 media librarian finally had the training to get
 the job done in a timely manner based on he or
 she knew. Listservs arrived and continued the
 wonderful personal contact that we all felt
 during a conference where we could discuss topics
 without physical or temporal borders. Listservs
 changed everything and for media librarianship
 Gary's helming of this invaluable professional
 resource is undeniably one of the most important
 developments in the field in the last 15 years.
 Videolib has truly changed the face of the media
 librarian profession. Thank you Gary. Thank you
 for your vision, for your guidance, for your
 patience and persistence, and for your sense of
 humor. You are indeed important to the archeology of media librarianship.

 May I suggest that we all compile an essential
 screening list for Gary, so that he could occupy
 his time appropriately later this summer?

 My contribution is the final episode of the
 second season of Twilight Zone. The Obsolete Man
 (episode 65) was originally broadcast June 2,
 1961 and starred Burgess Meredith as a librarian,
 who, in a future totalitarian state, is judged
 obsolete and sentenced to death. It's pretty
 powerful, particularly the totalitarian stuff but
 in no way reflects current individuals on this listserv.

 Who knows, maybe Gary will helm the next
 iteration of communication, this time between
 retired (obsolete) media professionals.

another position in which I would have grown and learned and

was born during the fiery appearance of Halley???s Comet, and who went
out with its reappearance, 74 years later.  I began my career in media
in the early 80s, at the dawn of the home video age (or the ???Video
Revolution??? as it was often hyperbolically called in the library

when the technologies and economics of video production and

and service in libraries are also bound to experience major tremors
and evolutionary shifts.  I???m not sure whether I???m leaving the
scene feeling sanguine or pessimistic about this future, but in any
case it???s definitely going to be an interesting and challenging next
decade. I am going to miss all my long-time professional pals
profoundly, both those on the library side and the distributor side of
the fence.  I grew up with a number of you in this field, and along
the way you???ve become a kind of extended workaday family, complete
with the obstreperous get-togethers, occasional bickering, and
comforting sympathy.  I???m also heartened by the number of young,
creative, and energetic colleagues who have hopped on board in more
recent times.  Definitely makes me less gloomy about prospects for the
future. Not sure exactly what I???m going to do next:  I???d like to

log in more gym time; would like to hone my banjo and ukulele-playing
chops; want to get back to freelance cartooning and illustration.  At
very least, I???m aiming at becoming an accomplished and well-known
Berkeley fl??neur and caf?? personality. As for the fate of the UC
Berkeley Media Resources Center?  In light of the dire econommic
straits into which UC has been shoved, it is almost completely
unlikely that my position will be filled any time soon.  The future of
the redoubtable MRC collection and website remains murky, at best.  I
can???t really think about all of this too much; it???s just too damn

 Supreme Court rules on copyright for educational video

 In a surprise ruling the Supreme Court has determined that educational use
 of commercial video by means of streaming services falls within the
 face-to-face teaching exemption (Section 110) of U.S. copyright law.
 Based on arguments in the AIME v UCLA lawsuit, this ruling provides
 educational institutions permission to digitize and stream videos from any
 source, provided those materials were legally acquired.

There's still a problem, I'm afraid.  Screening films/videos in a
classroom in the service of regular curricula does not require separate
rights in this country.  The copyright laws of the US have a specific
provision for allowing such use in face-to-face teaching.

It would be more accurate (and honest) to simply charge two prices:

One for use in classrooms and libraries, and one for public performance.

As to your question:  An opening screening (i.e. an extra-curricular
screening) generally requires performance rights, even if a professor
gives a spiel before the show, and even if no admittance fees are charged.

Berkeley would be interested in joining your growing customer base, but
not with the terms currently stated on your web site.

Shalom,

Gary




 Dear Gary
 Thanks for your answer and remarks.
 We knew about the rules of face to face screening in classrooms regardless
 of size
 We will remove the words (up to 50 students) from our pricing  invoices.
 Anyway I am not around to count.
 I hope that will solve the legal problem
 Most university libraries purchased classroom screening rights, yet some
 preferred to buy also Public screening rights.

 Yet I have a question many universities have a film series open to all
 students  faculty and if a professor gives a short explanation before the
 screening is that a face to face screening?

 I hope Berkeley will join our growing list of customers

 Hello

 Thanks for this link; your catalog has some interesting-sounding stuff in
 it.  I have some fairly serious concerns about the wording of your pricing
 policy, however.

 US copyright law allows the screening of whole films/videos in
 face-to-face classroom teaching, REGARDLESS of the size of the class.
 Your pricing schedule wording ignores this fact.  I understand the
 differential pricing for public performance rights, but your wording for
 the $175 library lending rights is misleading and not legally
 supportable, unless you consider this a contract stipulation, in which
 case I'd strongly urge my library colleagues not to do business with your
 firm.

 Let me know if you have questions, or if there are clarifications I should
 know about.

 Gary Handman



 $175 for library lending rights. Includes screenings rights in classrooms
 (up to 50 students).

 $250 library lending rights and public performance rights for screening
 when no admission fee is charged.

 Actually I'm referring to videos that are already reserved or restricted
 to in-house use. We have cases where three professors teaching the same
 course, without notifying us, have told their students to watch a given
 title in a given week. Typically the students start streaming in the day
 before class and there are frequent turn-aways. So some type of simpler
 hold system would be nice.

Re: [Videolib] Lifetime Streaming Rights

2012-03-16 Thread ghandman

I don't see why libraries can't do the
same AT LEAST until we work out the language in our contracts that
allows us to do this with full disclosure to the rights holders.

You mean why can't libraries pay over and over and over again for access
to static content?  I don't think so...  We do it now in many cases
because that's the lay of the land, but it sucks (to put it bluntly).

Libraries license rights to access other databases (such as journal
databases) on an annual/semiannual/whatever basis.  In such cases the
product almost always evolves over time, adding content or other value
added features.

The notion that the value of a video title to the institution increases
when the format changes simply is not accurate (or supportable).  The
notion that access to online access (limited to institutional primary
clientele)has anything whatsoever to do with market loss (at least for
non-theatrical films) is equally inaccurate and non-supportable.

If we're gonna discuss these matters, we need to unbundle the economics of
distributor/producer interaction and the value and uses of these
productions to the institution.  If you're telling me you need to term
license because that's the only way to deal contractually with filmmakers,
I can (almost) understand the argument (while still not liking it at all).
 If you're saying something else, I don't buy it.

Gary Handman




 Elizabeth, I'm sorry you know I love Kino and appreciate all that you
 do but we simply disagree on this (relatively small) issue.

 What you just said implies that we are only in the business of
 generating immediate profit for rights holders regardless of the
 future implications or even our contractual obligations. I can't
 reconcile that.

 Zeitgeist is not exclusively in the business of selling to educational
 institutions and it's not my job to offer rights that we don't have
 simply because a customer would like that option available. We sell
 our films on iTUNES for personal use, not educational exhibition. It's
 a completely different section in the contract.

 All kinds of digital streaming sites - Netflix, Amazon, etc. work just
 fine with termination dates. I don't see why libraries can't do the
 same AT LEAST until we work out the language in our contracts that
 allows us to do this with full disclosure to the rights holders.

 If we were just an educational company buying lifetime rights would be
 a different story. But the pedigree and universality of films that
 both Zeitgeist and Kino distribute, in my opinion, require careful
 consideration about which rights we attach to our packages in
 accordance with our contracts with sales agents.

 But I have no doubt you've given this careful consideration on your
 end and have come to your decision as I have come to mine and we will
 just have to see what the future holds.

 I'd very much like to get a group of distributors to talk about this
 further, both educational and theatrical, but probably off the
 listserv! :)

 Ben,

 If you are 'buying exploitation rights for profit'  it implies that
 you are in the business of generating revenue for your filmmakers,
 which means offering licenses that the customers not only want but
 will be requiring; how can a librarian catalog a stream which they
 do not have a permanent copy of? Perhaps a library prefers to
 archive a digital file on their server rather than the DVD on a
 shelf. It is our business as distributors to the educational market
 to offer our customers these choices.

 And digital formats change all the time. 3 years ago Flash was the
 universal standard for streaming. Now it is becoming HTML5 for ios
 compatibility. That is a recent change in digital format in this
 nascent market. There will be more to come.

 I liked Bob's analogy that a digital site license is not analogous
 to broadcast, but, as I originally suggested, a download. If
 Zeitgeist is selling films on iTunes, you are selling digital copies
 for the life of the file.

 Have a great weekend everybody.

 Greetings Media Librarians,

 The Notable Videos for Adults Committee has three vacancies to fill this
 year. We aim for a balanced mix of librarians from academic, public and
 special libraries that work with media and serve adult populations.  We
 are looking for three librarians from an academic, special, or public
 library to balance out the team.

 This is an opportunity to serve on a rewarding and enjoyable
 professional committee at the national level. Members of the committee
 must be members of the American Library Association (ALA) and the Video
 Round Table (VRT). Please note that representatives or employees of
 video producers or distributors are not eligible to serve.

 Each member will serve a term of two years, with a maximum number of
 consecutive terms not to exceed two, for a total of four years of service.

 All committee members are required to:

 *  Be members of ALA and the Video Round Table (VRT),

 *  Attend ALA Midwinter for two consecutive years (Seattle and
 Philadelphia),

 *  View, evaluate and mail a substantial amount of videos leading up to
 ALA Midwinter.  Last year, over 60 titles were nominated.

 For complete information about the committee, please visit our web page:

 If you are interested in volunteering for the committee, please respond
 directly to me by April 1, 2012.  A decision on Notable Committee

2012-03-15 Thread ghandman

Well, isn't this basically the same deal as other streaming:  if it works
for your institution in terms of cost-effectiveness and general utility,
it works.  If not, not...stick with the DVD.

I must say that the current FACETS list of titles available for streaming
license is limited...but I understand that it's gonna grow.

We're already deep into licensing print content (remember journals?)...I
balk at term licensing, because it pisses me off to buy the same title
every 3-5 years.  On the other hand, the ability to acquire a heavily-used
title for streaming in-perpetuity is pretty damn cool...even at $500.

Gary Handman



 I had the opposite reaction, assuming this would preclude me from buying
 at
 the individual rate as we have been, e.g. Menschenfrauen for $19.95.
 There
 are too few students and inadequate bandwidth at my college to make
 streaming a desirable or viable option.  And we don't need PPR because we
 are very strict about only allowing viewing permitted under fair use and
 TEACH.

 And on principle, as a builder of library collections, I want to purchase,
 not license, what I pay for.  Remember once you agree to a license, you've
 relinquished your rights under copyright law.

Hey Maureen

We subscribed to Film Movement in its earliest years...it was a lot
cheaper back then.

I've found the films really amazing, for the most part.  Small, indie, off
the beaten track, foreign and domestic, and generally wonderful.  I like
the fact that many of these discs also include cool short films.

That said:  I think the pricing is a bit high and I also think that
without concerted publicity and chatting-up many of the titles received
will never be used...

 1.   I have a part-time assistant who handles media desk operations
 and manages our student staff.  I have tried unsuccessfully to have his
 position made full-time.  He's been here for two years, and I would at
 least like him to get a salary increase.  Would any other academic media
 librarian folks like to share with me what the pay rate for comparable
 positions at other schools?  This information would help me to ask for an
 appropriate increase.  This can be off-list, of course.
 2.  Would anyone be willing to share their experiences with Film
 Movement?  It sounds like a great way for the Library to do some media
 programming.  I'd like to hear from someone who has tried-pros and cons,
 if any.

 A little broad. There are a fair number of Algerians in France movies. One
 recent release which I imagine will be on DVD any day is
 Kaurismaki's  LE HAVRE which would work. One excellent film is not
 technically Europe by geography but dead on the topic is
 JAMES JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM about African emigres in Israel. Very
 underrated
 film.

Re: [Videolib] Title suggestion for 'African diaspora in Europe'

Hi

I assume you're including North Africans?

Docs

Europlex
Investigates the daily, sometimes illicit migration, across borders
between Morocco and Spain- a rare intersection of the first and third
worlds. Paying off officials to look the other way, workers smuggle
contraband across the border, sometimes crossing up to 11 times a day.
In a now common scenario, Moroccan woman work in North Africa to
produce goods destined for the European market, even as domestics
commute into a Spanish enclave in Moroccan territory. A videotape by
Ursula Biemann and Angela Sanders. c2003. 20 min. Women Make Movies

Out They Go; One-way ticket to Ghana
Peter Ekwiri, a Ugandan, is only one of many people whose applications
for asylum in the E.U. have been denied. And like many other blacks
from Africa considered undesirable by European governments such as
Sweden and Germany, he was forcibly deported, but not to his home
country. This program uses Ekwiri's case as a springboard to reveal a
corrupt system in which E.U. police and immigration authorities
clandestinely pay Ghana to act as a transfer point, in reality a
dumping ground, for black deportees. And life in Ghana usually means
years of imprisonment and an obscure death. The program also
investigates other similar cases while exploring the statistical
implications of European racial bias against black Africans.  2001. 59
min.
Films Media Group.

The People Next Door
Chinese, Arabs, Jews, Algerians, Tunisians, Africans, and French live
together in the Belleville neighborhood of Paris. Traditionally a
melting pot of all races, this piece examines the nuances of racism,
spoken and not, in a community that exists by circumstances, not
choice. A Film by Patrick Zachmann. 10 min.
(used to be distributed by Icarus, but may be O.D.)

Feature films:

Code inconnu: Récit incomplet de divers voyages (Code Unknown: Incomplete
Yales of Several Journeys)(France / Germany / Romania, 2000)
Director, Michael Haneke. Cast: Juliette Binoche, Thierry Neuvic, Ona
Lu Yenke, Sepp Bierbichler, Arsinee Khanjian. On a bustling Paris
street corner four separate livesintersect, interweaving the stories
of a promising actress, her photojournalist boyfriend, a teacher of
African descent and a Romanian illegal immigrant in this portrait of
life in a fractured, lonely world. 113 min.

Exiles (France / Japan, 2004)
Directed by Tony Gatlif. Cast: Romain Duris, Lubna Azabal, Leila
Makhlouf, Zouhir Gacem, Habib Cheikh. A young couple, both of Arabic
descent, leave Paris with no money, jobs, or connections, and travel
to their ancestral home of Algeria. In search of re-connecting to
their roots, they cross three countries by foot, bus, train, and
hitched rides. 104 min.

Le Gone du Chaaba (France, 1997)
Director, Christophe Ruggia. Cast: Bouzid Negnoug, Mohamed Fellag,
Nabil Ghalem. Set in 1956 France in a city slum outside of Lyons, a
poor Algerian father wants his son to be the best in school, although
the boy is not very gifted. 105 min.

Inch'Allah Dimanche (Algeria, France, 2001)
Director, Yamina Benguigui. Film about the family reunion, the
French government's euphemism for a 1974 law allowing Algerian wives
to rejoin their husbands working in France. Strong-willed Zouina parts
tearfully from her mother in the port of Algiers; once in France, she
and her three small children are at the mercy of her mother-in-law and
confused by the strange customs of their local grocer and
garden-obsessed neighbor. The radio is her only window on life and on
the women of this new country. 98 min.

A Little Bit of Freedom (Kleine Freiheit) (Germany, 2003)
Director, Yüksel Yavuz. Cast: Cagdas Bozkurt, Leroy Delmar, Nazmi
Kirik, Necmettin Cobanoglu, Naci Ozarslan, Susanna Rozkosny, Sunay
Girisken, Thomas Ebermann. Baran, a Kurdish teen from Turkey, makes
bicycle deliveries for a kebab shop while trying to outwit the
authorities who have refused him political asylum. He strikes up a
friendship with another outsider, an illegal African immigrant who
deals drugs to get by. Trouble begins after Baran loses his low
profile status because the kebab-stand owner's daughter sets her
sights on him. 97 min.

Made in France (Origine Contrôlée) (France, 2001)
Directed by Ahmed Bouchaala and Zakia Tahri. Cast: Patrick Ligardes,
Ronit Elkabets, Isabelle Sadoyan, Atmen Kelif. Fancy Patrick is
arrested by mistake and finds himself in a cell with Samia, an
attractive Algerian, and Youssef, a cantankerous show off. All three
are condemned to deportation. During their transfer to the airport,
they manage to escape. When they are on the run the trio discover a
taste for the unusual and learn to understand and love each other.

 Michael
 Feel free to correct me if I am misstating this but I recall you were the
 first person (prior to the code) to say that since there had never been
 an exact case that said you could not stream an entire film than perhaps
 you could. You may see that as an academic exorcise but it is a reality
 for
 me and as I have posted there is in fact a whole lot of case law related
 to
 this which is simply being glossed over and ignored. Again the Kinko's
 case
 followed directly by the Michigan documents  case were unequivocal that
 you
 could not copy large chunks of copyrighted material merely because they
 were for educational use. It has been more or less black letter copyright
 law that you may only use portions of works to create new works (
 Transformative). They Britannica case made it clear that even if the
 people
 doing the copying were non profit institutions they could NOT copy and use
 entire works. The only case that challenged this was SONY involved
 individuals time shifting  for private use and every case I cited
 happened AFTER Sony so it was no defense. The claim that fair use can
 legitimately cover copying and streaming and entire work is not a
 speculative idea but is happening every day and again PLEASE correct if i
 am wrong but you seem to believe that it is acceptable because the law is
 somehow vague on this.

 I realize I am the designated ranter here but I don't think I can
 overstate how personally  distributors and filmmakers feel betrayed by
 people they believed supported them. I am NOT referring to most people
 here
 but to basically say there really isn't anything we can do about it and
 you
 (me) should not writing about it is not an answer. Per my previous
 response
 to Gary if someone came in and told you they were doing to take every item
 in the library, digitize and stream it so the library and you  would no
 longer be necessary I suspect you might be ranting too.

 PS sorry this was lost in my draft box for the day by mistake.

Re: [Videolib] Purpose of listserv

Hi

The purpose of the list is broad:

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of
issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition, bibliographic
control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in
libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve
as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of
communication between libraries, educational institutions, and video
producers and distributors.

The primary focus of the discussion supported by this list will be on
video collection, access, and use. Examples of discussion topics include:
copyright and intellectual property issues; evaluations of materials;
collection development policy issues; selection methodology; acquisition
concerns (locating hard-to-find materials, library/vendor relations,
etc.), issues related to evolving video technologies and libraries.
Discussions regarding video hardware and the specifics of video technology
are not generally encouraged. Discussions which are merely recreational in
nature are also firmly discouraged Such discussions include protracted
conversations regarding favorite films, movie trivia, and fan
correspondence.


I think that, for the most part, we've pretty much stuck to those
parameters.  Copyright is a big area of discussion, obviously, and I think
that it's an important area of concern and discourse.  It can be a
contentious subject (also obviously) because of the differing views of
stake holders and the fact that there's currently much open to
interpretation in the letter and applications of the laws.  I fully expect
copyright and fair use to be a front-and-center issues for media (and
other) librarians for a long time to come as the media universe continues
to evolve and shift.

This is a working list, which means most of what is discussed can and
should be directly (or even indirectly) useful to the practice of media
librarianship.  As with any listserv, endless conjecture, fruitless
banter, pointless argument (particularly argument with no clear or
immediate resolution) all run counter to the spirit and nature of the
list.

Videolib is an unmoderated list, which means subscribers can pretty much
post what they want.  I have only once in the 15 year history of this list
had to exercise my prerogative as list manager in ending a discussion or
bumping a subscriber. It's not something I did not do (and would not do
again) lightly because I strongly believe in keeping this an open,
democratic, and lively forum.  On the other hand, I have a definite stake
in making sure the list remains civil, supple, productive, and relevant to
the subscribers.

It is my sincere hope that we can stay on track, move forward, and live up
to the stated goals and intent of the list.

gary





 I have to chime in here in total agreement there is a lot of very
 useful information on this listserv, but also too much back-and forthing
 that clutters my inbox and interrupts my day. Switching to digest was not
 helpful.
 I would like to see a review of the purpose of the list (as listed at the
 bottom of this message) and the guidelines for contributions as I'm
 considering unsubscribing. Broad and lively discussion is one thing.  But
 it's feeling like a chat room and I've got other things to do if the
 members aren't going to get back to meaningful discussion.

 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

 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!

Hi Mike

Well...you've asked a question that gets at an argument that has probably
garnered four or five hundred posts on this list (and others as well) in
the last few years alone.  The answer is hotly debated, to say the least,
and is currently being tested in courts:  UCLA vs Association for Media
Information and Equipment (AIME)...

There are, in other words, no easy or definite answers.  Take a look at
the videolib archive and search under the keywords UCLA, ARL (which has
developed a controversial set of Fair Use Best Practices) and you'll get a
sampling of the conversations regarding your question.

videolib archive is at:

 There seems to be this notion from faculty at my campus that they can take
 a program with copyright and place the entire movie on D2L or other online
 sources.  I don't believe a campus has the right to place an entire
 program online for students to watch at their convenience.  I don't
 believe the TEACH Act or Fair Use cover this type of situation.  If
 someone can point to a particular piece of copyright law that would
 illustrate this that would be helpful.

 Does anyone have specific examples of campuses be targeted/fined for
 copyright infringement?

 You missed the memo Mike. You can copy and stream any film or book ever
 made or published so long as a professor tells you he needs it. ARL etc
 have said so and you longer have to worry about actual copyright law or
 numerous legal cases that say otherwise.

 institution has
 scheduled an open campus showing of a film JUST BEING released in
 theaters and not available on DVD ANYWHERE in the world. I am sure ARL,

Re: [Videolib] Copyright Issues for D2L/Online Learners

2012-02-27 Thread ghandman

Take your questions to ARL, Jessica.  Or take them to Pat Aufderheide and
her group.  Most of us were not involved in developing the recent
guidelines. Furthermore, most of us have very little control over what
goes on in the broader administration of institutions in which we work
(many times despite concerted efforts to work with administrators and
faculty on significant intellectual property issues).

It is positively not productive to endlessly spar on this list.


While I think continuing civil discourse about these issues is definitely
in order and welcomed, this list is in danger of becoming one endless
copyright and fair use slug-fest.  I've received a number of off-list
notes of concern about this and, more disconcertingly, I notice a definite
increase in the number of unsubscribe requests lately. As moderator (and
originator) of the list, I really can't allow that to happen.  There's
much too much other work, and too many other issues to tackle.

The issues we've been batting around will eventually be settled by case
law, or by the testing and defining of fair use applications in other
legal arenas.  It is clear to me that the various sides of these issues
have been more than thoroughly aired, and, at this point, unless there are
really sage and unique insights to be had, all we're doing is spinning
wheels.

Again, unless I hear from members of this list that they have an
overriding need to hear these issues and complaints beaten to a bloody
pulp,  we need to move on, and I need to make that happen one way or the
other.

 even  by my standards that Pat would suggest as source for copyright a
 site

 not part of copyright law.

 I get that I rant but I still await specific answers to questions I have
 posed and will again post the key wording in the Kinko's case

 institutions.

 The mere fact that the portions copied by Kinko’s were those that the
 college
 professor singled out as being critical parts
 of the books demonstrates that even if not “the heart of” the works
 in question, the parts copied were substantial in quality. Thus,
 with regard to this factor, the court finds for the publishers
 because Kinko’s is copying substantial portions of the work

Re: [Videolib] Video at Risk's Relationship to new ARL Code of Best Practices

The project runs thru June--i.e. the second phase, which will produce
lists of materials identified as possible 108 candidates in the
collections of the partner insitutions (NYU/Avery Fisher; UCB MRC; and
Loyola University in New Orleans)...  (The last phase is to develop an RFP
that defines parameters and requirements for digitization, and then
finally doing the actual digitization, either in-house(s) or outsourced)

The formal reporting on the project in the library/archive lit will
probably take a lng time to get out there.  On the other hand, I'd be
glad to share Berkeley's list with videolib when we pull it together.

Re: [Videolib] Video at Risk's Relationship to new ARL Code of Best Practices

Jessica, don't make me come over there and...

What makes you think we're gonna be perfunctory in doing due diligence?
Yes...we have developed a fairly elaborate template which takes a search
thru thorough online searches in a number of databases; vendor sites;
contacting producer and/or director (including LinkedIn and Facebook
searches); copyright office searches...more

The films we're dealing with are all non-theatrical...

We are largely invoking provisions of Section 108 (not fair use--although
fair use could come into play)

Keep calm and carry on.

 Gary.
 I know I have mentioned this before but never directly asked you, is it
 your belief that in determining if an item is rare and should be
 preserved  that no effort should ever be made to contact the rights
 holder/filmmaker? I ask because that is exactly what one of the top NYU
 people told a group of librarians at ALA meeting a few years ago and that
 is a key reason I have so little trust in the code, this project and to
 be honest acedemic libraries. I think it sums up the entire attitude of
 the
 ARL code of basically under no circumstances involve or consult with
 rights
 holders on the material they own or made because they are the enemy.

 Hi Debra

 Berkeley is a principle partner in this project (along with NYU).  A
 significant part of the project will be identifying materials in
 collections which are eligible for reformatting, primarily under the
 provisions of Section 108, but possibly under the mantle of fair use, as
 well.

 None of us on the project have had contact with the developers of the
 ARL
 code (to my knowledge).

  Hi-
 
  Does anyone know if the Video at Risk project (dealing with
 reformatting
  of VHS tapes)  has a relationship with the new ARL Code of Best
  Practices undertaking ? Have there been a conversation between these
  parties?
 
  Just Curious.
 
  Thanks.

Re: [Videolib] Video at Risk's Relationship to new ARL Code of Best Practices

You're probably talking about Howard, Jessica.  Stop it, already...you're
obsessing.

The project has a very competent and level-headed media lawyer on board,
and we're taking our cues from him.

Gary



 Well Gary all I can say is you have someone and their institution
 (NYU) who don't believe that. I can't really repeat some of the things
 I know but I will go out on a limb and say NYU has routinely streamed
 films many of which were not from standard legal sources so having
 them as a top member or whatever to me is like having waste management
 determining environmental rules.  I take no issue with trying to
 determine if libraries contain unique materials that need to be
 preserved, but it strikes me that is a very straight forward issue. Is
 it in fact your understanding that it this project is in fact for
 goal of finding and preserving unique copies and not the ability to
 copy materials that are merely rare or out of print? I will believe
 you and drop it if that is what you say.
