Hello everyone, I’ve recently submitted a proposal to Video Round Table for consideration at the ALA annual. They accepted my proposal, with a caveat – I mentioned that this would be a brief panel discussion and Q & A and that I would find a few ‘co-presenters’. VRT would like some ‘names’ to go with my proposal. I turn to videolib to see if anyone would be interested in this topic. I have humbly attached my proposal and would be very interested in working together. I’m hoping to work with a vendor (or two), media librarian (or two), and anyone who has worked with PPR and/or a PPR film series.
I’m focusing on PPR in specific – that can be as simple as understanding the differences between PPR/Educational Use/Institutional Use - through and including ways to secure rights, access to venues, and other issues that come up with PPR specific questions. This has been a ‘pet’ of mine especially this year, as we are having faculty/students want to show films at the Athena, Ohio U arthouse, owned by university. It brings up many questions that I would like to address in the presentation: · Diff between PPR / Institutional and Educational (the basics) · Where can you show a PPR on campus? · How to establish a work flow so we don’t get into “I want to show “XXX” Saturday at the Athena” – do they need to understand that rights have to be secured? How can we help them? What can we do? · How to work with Circulation Desk (where we keep our films) and creating an environment where PPR can be best understood. · Our cinema asks for permission from rights holder to screen in a theatrical venue, can we work around this? · Can we work more collaboratively with vendors? · Once we have a head wrapped around the basic do’s and don’t of PPR, how to we promote to students faculty and staff? · How do vendors that offer PPR deal with these situations? What I’m hoping for is a few takers on working with me, and then fleshing out the raw material and addressing at the conference. All the bullets above are just ideas, concerns, thoughts. I will be at Mid-Winter, so that would be one place to start. We could also meet over Adobe Connect or some other ‘webinar’ tool. I look forward to your responses and apologize for not being 100% clear in what I want to focus on – besides PPR issues. As you know, all we have to do is say/speak or write the word PPR and a plethora of responses will floor the email. I’m aware that this is a slippery slope. Just trying to make it not so slippery to get the films out there to the world.

Description: VRT_Proposal_ALA_2015.docx
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.
