Re: [Videolib] Question for academic librarians re DVD screenings
I usually leave that alone. It's up to the faculty member to follow these limitations also. In general, if a few people come to a class, during the published class time, I don't consider that much of an issue. They are probably tangentially related, although not technically enrolled. If someone breaks out popcorn, well, has the threshold been compromised? Does the center hold? I'd say the center still holds. What if they add butter? Still, it's within the field of the mutual co-prosperity sphere. Next level, is it out of the classroom, or at another time, are there flyers? Have they added a public address system and a campus tuk-tuk driving around that announces Documentary on Body Piercing. WGSTLBRTWQ Dept. 5pm. Discussion at 11. The centrifugal awareness starts to intervene, things are beginning to fall apart. Hmm, maybe it's time for a little hint of P(PR). And finally -- Hey we found this video for $19.95 on Amazon even though Icarus is selling it for $500. Let's do a campus special showing and get the auditorium! Ok, at this point the atom has been split. You know, Shelley Berman used to do a routine related to this, albeit in 50s-style irony, and on a 33 1/3 rpm LP to boot, about a first kiss on a first date. Father's advice to his daughter on a first date. (apologies to Shelley Berman) OK, it's your first date, and he's gonna bring you to the door, and your gonna wonder The first kiss, that's his business, The second kiss, that's your business, The third kiss (dad looking through the curtains) . that's MY BUSINESS!! .. hahahahahhahhaa now, go out and get your quota. == Randal Baier Eastern Michigan University Ypsilanti, Michigan 48197 ( 734) 487-2520 rba...@emich.edu tweets @rbaier – skypes @ randalbaier Joy was his song, and joy so pure, A heart of star by him could steer. -- e.e. cummings - Original Message - From: benr...@usfca.edu To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Sent: Monday, February 17, 2014 3:13:03 PM Subject: [Videolib] Question for academic librarians re DVD screenings Hi I'm interested in what, if anything, other academic librarians do if they get wind of a screening of non-PPR dvds that they acquired at the request of a professor -- screenings which are for class curricular use but to which the campus community is also invited (though it's very unlikely that many from outside the class will show up).

Re: [Videolib] Question for academic librarians re DVD screenings
If you are sure the professor is using the Library copy, you could send him a note. In the note, you could mention that you have heard that he is showing Movie X and has invited the community. You inform him, if he is using the Library’s DVD copy, the Library does not have PPR for it. If he needs any help finding PPR for the movie, the Library would be glad to help him. After that the ball is in the professor’s court to tell you he has PPR or ignore your note. I am assuming your university does not have a policy covering this situation.

Re: [Videolib] Question for academic librarians re DVD screenings
I would send the prof a respectful note, letting them know that there are rights issues involved when a video is screened outside the classroom, and offer to help clear the rights for their screening. I think that it is my duty as the overall manager of the media collection to inform our users about rights and ownership. Many times, they will plead innocence and be very willing to correct their lack of knowledge. I don't think saying nothing is the appropriate way to deal with this situation. Our administration would want us to do the right thing, and my role is to help to facilitate that.
