Re: [Videolib] Academic Libraries with Genocide Collections in Media

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Hi Rue,
We don't officially teach Genocide Studies, but between a class on Survivors 
and programming by the Peace Institute, I feel like I have a de facto 
curriculum.
If it was purchased with library money, it lives in the Library. If it's in the 
Library, it's in the catalog and WorldCat.
All videos not on reserve are in open stacks and circulate for one week.
No, we do not have separate subject libraries in other campus locations.

I don't know what films are owned by departments/offices since those materials 
are purchased with departmental and/or personal funds and are therefore not 
cataloged anywhere.

Subject: [Videolib] Academic Libraries with Genocide Collections in Media

Hi everyone.

I am beginning an assessment of our Library's media collection dealing with 
genocide (in very broad terms).  I feel we have a relatively strong collection 
both in content and accessibility, and this area is an ongoing collection 
development focal point for me.   As a very preliminary starting point, I would 
greatly appreciate hearing from other academic libraries regarding the 
following:


  *   Does your institution have an identified program in Genocide Studies 
and/or a Genocide Studies Center?
  *   If so, does the Library purchase media materials in support of Genocide 
Studies, and are these materials a part of the Library's general media 
collection?  (as opposed to a closed, departmental, or special collection)
  *   Are these materials cataloged and available in your OPAC?  Do they 
circulate?
  *   How is your institution's library system arranged?  The USF Tampa Campus 
has a centralized library as opposed to official Departmental, School, College 
or Graduate/Undergraduate individual libraries across the campus.

Ultimately my assessment will include comparative reports using tools such as 
WorldCat Collection Analysis as appropriate.   And I will be also be looking at 
the identification of vendors handling this type of content.  I'm aware of 
many, but it's a 'big world' out there.

Any and all information is greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

It's a closed educational session, the video is not the focus, the advertising

I would just use the video.

Hypothetically, of course ;-)

Re: [Videolib] Disc resurfacing units?

[Bergman, Barbara J]

We decided it was more cost effective (equipment purchase and staff time) to 
continue sending scratched discs to a cleaning service.
We use Rubberdisc.  I'm sure there are additional companies out there.

Actual number of problem discs has been surprisingly minimal so this works.

Re: [Videolib] New Library Learning Commons and Media closed reserves

Antonella,
Viewing stations - whether it's using an old-fashioned monitor or a new-fangled 
computer -- are perfectly legal and a fairly common setup in libraries.  Well, 
common except for the snacks.
A student is sitting in the Commons watching on a computer with headphones does 
not turn it into a public performance.

Hopefully I'll get down to Angelo again soon to see the new Commons.

Re: [Videolib] Videos shelved separate or integrated into the stacks?

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Hi Jared,
As you'll see from responses, there are many factors about your campus and 
community that may affect how you handle the collection.
Look at existing policies and determining how well they serve your patrons.
Do practices reflect modern video collections or are they holdovers from the 
16mm film days?
Video collections are costly investments - is yours a well-used resource or 
locked away in the stacks?

I'm strongly in favor of open stacks.  If you have questions after reading the 
article in Library Trends, feel free to ask.

Re: [Videolib] Educational PPR

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Interesting. They're granting you rights that we already have for classroom 
instruction under section 110 of the Copyright Law.
But by adding in other venues, it's practically giving you full public 
performance rights.
Not one to worry about.

List members,

I noted this today on a vendor website:

Educational Public Performance Rights (PPR) allow for screening IN A CLASSROOM 
SETTING ONLY for matriculated students in any not-for-profit institution  - 
universities, museums, galleries, libraries, microcinemas, community centers, 
or educational institutions, in an educational context.

This assertion seems to contradict what U.S. Copyright Title 17 states 
regarding library and classroom use (performance or display of work by 
instructors or pupils in the course of face-to-face teaching activities of a 
nonprofit educational institution, in a classroom or similar place devoted to 
instruction).

I know that this topic has been well discussed on the list, but educational 
public performance rights was a new wrinkle for me.

Thanks folks. You confirmed my gut reaction.
I suspected that the Music Library Assoc had a document.

I normally don't work music classes, but I do know that they, like film 
studies, usually have the students listen in class and then re-listen to write 
their paper or take quiz based on the music.

Re: [Videolib] practical processes with open shelving for DVDs?

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Hi Lauren,
We moved to open shelves several years ago.  It has been great.

DVDs are in locked cases. Take your pick from the library supplier catalogs.

Shelving is adjacent to the Media service window, so we can still provide 
assistance.  Main circ desk also has the key mechanism so that DVDs can be 
checked out from there during hours Media isn't staffed. Circ period is 7 days.

We use LC call numbers (had been done many years earlier, so made the move 
easier.)
Feature film call numbers were tweaked using the literature schedule.  
Organized by country of origin of the director.  American films still have very 
similar call numbers, but it mostly separated out films by language.

Reserved items are still kept behind the counter.  Titles booked for screenings 
are labeled, but stay on the regular shelves until a week before the screening.

Feel free to ask more questions,
Barb

Hello Video Librarians!

I just joined this list to post on a couple of topics I'm working on here at 
Wake Forest.  First question is, do any of you operate with open shelving of 
your DVDs?  We already have thought through pros and cons of having the open 
shelving, so we're looking for practical help rather than opinions for/against 
open shelving.

We're planning to move our DVD collection from closed shelving behind the 
Circulation Desk to open shelves in a controlled room and we're looking for 
examples to follow.   We'd like some information to help us decide about how to 
organize in presenting the collection - right now we just have accession 
numbers, but we think some type of categorization would be more useful to 
patrons.  And of course that leads to a question of re-classing from accession 
numbering.  You get the idea.

Any feedback on practical arrangements from those operating with open shelves?

Thanks,
Lauren

Re: [Videolib] streaming justification

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Although I agree with Gary about not wanting to give up collection development 
decisions wholesale, I decided best thing to do about streamed video was to 
jump in big, so we're starting with some of the Alexander Street dbs.
Packages were selected based on: anticipated interest and therefore likely 
usage, recognized content, average cost of the included titles if we were to 
buy the DVDs, how many of those titles would we purchase if money were no 
option, and a magic 8 ball.

The option to purchase collections got me further than the subscription options 
because we have a pot of one-time soft money.
I was up front that the break-even on purchase vs subscription is about 8 
years. (Annual maintenance fees magically don't count.) I find this division a 
bit outdated, but figure I might as well milk it to benefit the collection.

Now I'm working my way through getting approvals to purchase licenses from the 
other main vendors that we buy from, not because I necessarily want to buy 
streamed video from them yet, but so that it will make it easy for me to 
quickly license individual titles when the need arises.

Re: [Videolib] Netflix vs. availablility in the marketplace

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Getting back to Kim's question...

I think the erratic offerings for streaming is also caused by Netflix primarily 
offering titles available from Starz's catalog.

I found a somewhat recent British film (Stone of Destiny) that was available 
streaming, but not on DVD in Netflix.

Over the last few months, I've had several faculty ask me to purchase something 
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] (Electronic) Ordering: Media

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Same here, using Gobi for book orders. Can't see it working well for videos 
even if they were in the db.

For feature films, I use Midwest Tape (cart) or Amazon (wishlist) and send 
electronically to Acq.
Rush orders - I give them printout of page 1 of the Amazon listing.

Educational titles - I have a PDF version of our order form, so can type on it 
and leave the repetitive info in place for printing.
Acq is also okay with printout of batch of DVDs in an online cart from vendor's 
site, so often just give them that nowadays.

Re: [Videolib] media cataloging question

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Our feature films are classed using LC's literature schedule, using 
country-of-origin-of-director as the author.
For the most part results in organization by language. (A few oddities: 
Brokeback Mountain is in with the Asian films because directed by Ang Lee).
Directors are alphabetized within their country designation.
TV series are in PN1992, but very few PNs otherwise.
It has worked well.

Re: [Videolib] ILL of Video: Was Hannah Arendt

[Bergman, Barbara J]

I've often seen cost of the video used as a reason for excluding it from ILL.  
This is faulty logic because if something happens to the item, the borrowing 
library pays. Not the lender who owns the item. This is an important principle 
of ILL that I've found that many librarians don't know.

Therefore, it's your own patrons that you need to worry about when it comes to 
lost  damaged materials.
Or more often, it's the shipping does things in -- We just paid for a book that 
we had returned, but was received in 2 pieces (thanks postal service).

Does anyone know if Frontline has reissued any of their earlier episodes in DVD

An Appointment with death

a production of K.A. Productions in association with TVOntario for Frontline

If anyone has any suggestions for more recent productions, I'd be interested in

Just got a response back from him regarding my reply… Gee, maybe if you're just 
concerned about PPR, you should have said that instead of trying to threaten us.

Thank you for your reply. Of course that is fine if not being used for 
public performance. It's often the case that campuses use this film for 
community events. But if only lending out for personal use or classroom 
instruction, of course that's no problem. RG

Library Copyright Alliance Releases Statement on Copyright Reform
Washington DC-The Library Copyright Alliance (LCA) today released a 
statementhttp://e2ma.net/go/9364192531/3649914/106060332/11423/goto:http:/www.arl.org/bm%7Edoc/lca_copyrightreformstatement_16may11.pdf
 describing the key features copyright reform proposals should include in order 
to constitute significant improvement over current law for libraries and their 
users.

Interested parties are discussing with renewed vigor the issues of orphan 
works, mass digitization, and even modernization of Section 108 of the US 
Copyright Act in the wake of the Google Books settlement rejection by Judge 
Denny Chin of the Southern District of New York. The LCA statement, which 
represents the needs of library stakeholders in these debates, provides helpful 
guideposts for these discussions.

Libraries have always advocated for reasonable copyright policy-in the courts 
as well as in the US Congress. Library activities already benefit from broad, 
flexible protection under the fair use doctrine and related provisions in 
current law. The LCA's statement describes the status quo for libraries as well 
as the policies that would constitute substantial legislative improvement to 
existing copyright law.

To view the statement, please visit: 
http://www.arl.org/bm~doc/lca_copyrightreformstatement_16may11.pdfhttp://e2ma.net/go/9364192531/3649914/106060334/11423/goto:http:/www.arl.org/bm%7Edoc/lca_copyrightreformstatement_16may11.pdf.

The Library Copyright Alliance (LCA) consists of three major library 
associations-the American Library Association, the Association of Research 
Libraries, and the Association of College and Research Libraries. These three 
associations collectively represent over 300,000 information professionals and 
thousands of libraries of all kinds throughout the United States and Canada. 
These three associations cooperate in the LCA to address copyright issues that 
affect libraries and their patrons. LCA is on the web at

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

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Make up a big number. It's not the real issue.

The real arguments that need to be made are that:
Many of the titles being used on VHS tape aren't available on DVD, period.
It's hard to guess how many VHS tapes are being used in the classroom that come 
from personal and/or departmental collections, but argue that it's at least as 
many tapes as are checked out from the library collection. 

Yes, stockpile some combo players.
Yes, stir things up with the faculty - they need to complain to the IT folks 
who are making this decision. 

Replacing the high use titles is simple (either through purchase or section 108 
procedures). But how much time and money do you put into the tapes that have a 
handful of circs -- not superstars, but were useful to someone?

Been there,

Oh help!  Help, help, help!

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,
Vicky

Re: [Videolib] Question about LC call numbers

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Matt,

We have our DVDs and videos classed by LC numbers. 
Pros: does get them ordered by subject, making them browseable. Con: Yes, call 
numbers tend to be too similar. Would not recommend LC for closed stacks.

Something we (meaning: the AV cataloger, not me) did here was to class the 
feature films within the literature schedule, using Director as Author. 
You still have a whole lotta P's, but it spaces them out and away from PN1997.
Organization is by Country of origin of the director, Director, Title.  
Result is that films are essentially sorted by language and then alphabetized 
by director's name.  (Occasional goofiness: Brokeback Mountain is filed with 
the Asian films because Ang Lee directed.)
TV shows are still clustered together.

Another option for you might be to use something like the ANSCR music 
classification system --
It uses abbreviations to class by genre and then artist/composer.

Re: [Videolib] Question about LC call numbers

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Anthony-
You're overthinking it. It was an effective way to get away from having 
hundreds of PN1997s.  We can tweak it anyway we want to.

Hitchcock is in British films, but could just as easily been classed with 
American. Same for whether or not to place Bunuel in Spanish or French.
Billy Wilder is considered an American (i.e. Hollywood) director, so his films 
are within American.
And if it was a problem having Brokeback mixed in with a handful of Asian 
films, we'd have found a way to reclass it to land within American films.

Billy Wilder was born in (what is now) Poland? And  all the American films

Re: [Videolib] Donuts, anyone?

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Haven't heard of problems with the little donut hub labels.

On the other hand, the full overlay with security strips have been known to 
cause problems. We had so much trouble with them unbalancing CDs that we 
stopped putting them on the audiobooks. DVDs are already so sensitive to 
scratches, smudges, etc that we never used the security overlays. DVDs are in 
locked tattletaped cases. If you have a high theft rate that makes the overlays 
necessary, the security overlays may be worth the problems, but proceed with 
caution.

[Videolib] Attend the National Media Market - negotiate video pricing

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Hi folks,
We seemed to have branched from circulation to pricing...

I'm throwing in a plug here encouraging folks to attend the National Media 
Market.  The NMM really is a great way to get to talk about these issues with 
librarians and video vendors.
It isn't the exhibit hall hell of ALA. You literally get to sit down and talk 
about your library's needs. Ask the vendors about discounts.  Most can't sell 
you new releases for $30, but most have room to negotiate.

Re: [Videolib] best time of year to contact

Pretty much the same.
During the academic year.  July 1 fiscal year start.
Primarily faculty requests, but I sign off on all video purchases so that I 
know what's getting requested before we end up purchasing 3 films on the same 
hot topic.

Emails good. Postcards good. Catalogs okay.
If you send me info that requires opening an envelope, it goes in a box that 
I'll get around to reading. Eventually.

Depends on the show.  24 with missing disc is frustrating. A sitcom - usually 
doesn't matter.

We update the record. Series are always repackaged into 2-disc cases so the 
missing one isn't as obvious/problematic as if had to be noted when checking

What is your general practice on DVDs of television shows that have a 
missing/damaged discs that cannot be individually replaced.  Do you circulate 
the title with the remaining discs, or do you discard the whole package and 
order a new set?  Or does it depend on the type of show - Law  Order episodes

Re: [Videolib] DVD vendor Q - COOL WORLD

[Bergman, Barbara J]

1. When materials are sent out through ILL and something happens to it before 
it comes home, the borrowing library pays. Period.  (You should be worried 
about what your own patrons are borrowing, not what you're sending out.

2. But Zipporah Films usually have licensing restrictions that include no ILL.  
Which is very rude of them, in my opinion. None of us can afford to buy 
everything.

3. Not sure where Section 108 came into this convo since it wasn't part of the 
original request...  But the reasonable cost clause would only apply when a 
title is no longer available for purchase from the original distributor.  You 
can't say we don't like the distributor's price and make a copy.

Hi Barb,

I'm glad to hear about your PPR program of setting aside some money to help 
students with their screenings, I've been thinking about doing something 
similar.  You mentioned that you set aside $1,000 for PPR and that student 
groups can apply for it with the criteria that the screening has some 
educational purpose.  Do the students apply on a first-come basis and then when 
the money is gone then it's gone?

Cheers,

Hi Debra-

We generally limit departments to no more than 25% of their library allocation 
for non-book purchases.
If the title seems multi-disciplinary, I'll usually pick it up with my video 
budget.  If it's pricey and rather specialized, we can split the cost between 
their account and mine.
For series, I usually look at per title cost.  They might have to wait awhile.

We've been getting more questions about PPR. Not sure if it's because less 
funding is available elsewhere, or if people are more aware that they need the 
PPR...
We setup up a small account of $1000 where student groups can apply for us to 
buy a film with PPR for them to do a screening. (Criteria: some educational 
purpose, not merely for entertainment)

Sounds like as much of your dilemma is internal funding structure as are the 
departments themselves.  Good luck.
I have to say that $650, it had better be for a great big public event not a 
single class.

One thing to try is show the student groups the films you already have with PPR 
rights and see if they can use one of those. I have been working on a few docs 
that are not available retail and can only be bought with PPR rights, they may 
not exactly be
Transformers 3 , but they are  if I do say so myself very good feature  films 
that did indeed play in a limited number of theaters as well as other venues. 
Take all those titles you had to buy with PPR and see if group can find stuff

an app that plugs into Blackboard. If Vanderbilt got HEAVY use I might consider

Re: [Videolib] Academic library video/DVD loan policies

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Tim -
ILL of video is kind of my soapbox.  We've benefitted far more than we've been 
inconvenienced by opening up video lending.


1.  If isn't not on reserve or booking for a screening, it's eligible for 
lending to university community, community, or to other libraries who lend 
videos.  (Excluding videos such as counseling titles that having lending 
restricts via licenses).

2.  We lend reciprocally. If your library's policy is to not ILL videos, we 
will not lend videos to you.  Resource sharing is about fairness.

3.  Cost shouldn't be the only reason to not lend.  None of us can afford 
to buy everything. Evaluate requests for out-of-print materials on a 
title-by-title basis and/or based on the requesting library.  ILL guidelines 
are that if something happens once an item leaves your library, the borrowing 
library pays (i.e. worry about what your own patrons are borrowing, not what 
you're lending).

I think you're going to need the VHS player a lot more than the Blu-Ray, but a

should be good.  I'm having a hard time picturing technical films being

Granted, there are not a lot of these, but I did locate a couple of models that 
do both. If you find one you like, make sure you buy extras for replacement 
units. I think since BluRay players can run standard DVDs, that combination 
would be the simplest for your user group (IMHO). From experience, I know that 
faculty don't always think about ordering a special player ahead of time, and 
hooking one into a podium or equipment cabinet at the last minute can be a

Our college is a small, two-year technical college. The library purchases very

related media. We still have many VHS tapes. We are systematically updating 
them, but we refuse and cannot afford to purchase a DVD that is the same the 
same as the VHS tape. For example: Ohms Law has not changed in that last 
several hundred years. We have also subscribed to some streaming media such as 
the Health Collection from Films On Demand.

Our AV consultant spec'd out a Blu-Ray/VCR combo, but it is no longer 
available. They have proposed just a Blu-Ray player with a no VHS. We are 
thinking that a DVD/VHS unit with several Blu-Ray players that can use an input 
on the Extron controller would be more appropriate for our use.

But we want to be forward thinking. We keep telling the AV consultant to design 
for the future. For example, we had to fight for HDMI.

Do you see our type of training media going to Blu-Ray in the near future?

Re: [Videolib] Media circulation terms

7 days, no renewals. Extensions upon request, but would have to have very good 
reason for us to allow more than an extra week.
(Loan used to be 3 days, but we looked at data and more than 50% were renewed 
or extended, so was easier to just make it a 7-day loan standard.)
If on 4-hr reserve for other professor, we ask that they respect that and 
return DVD by the end of the day.
No actual fines accrue for faculty, but they automatically receive overdue 
notices via email. If a video is more than a week overdue, it will block them 
from checking out anything else from the library.

As many as you can carry.

Booking and reserve options are offered.

Re: [Videolib] Star Wars: the Complete Saga on DVD

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Who knows...I stopped paying attention when I heard that the Blu-Ray versions 
are altered even more than the special edition (post-1997) releases, and 
don't include the original theatrical release versions.
There are plenty of secondhand DVD copies available on Amazon Marketplace.

If your VHS tapes are the originals (pre-1997), hang onto them.
And let us pray that Lucas does not alter them further.

The NMM is very cozy, all within a single hotel. You literally sit down with

Re: [Videolib] domestic violence documentaries

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Power and Control: Domestic violence in America

Plus companion DVDs:
Domestic Violence and Law Enforcement: It Started in Duluth
Domestic Violence and Health Care: Best Practices in Action

Dist: New Day Films

More info and a lot of interview clips on the website: 
http://www.powerandcontrolfilm.com/

Power and Control: Domestic Violence in America explores the shocking  
persistence of violence against women in the US. Kim, a Duluth, MN mother of 
three, is at the center of the story. As Kim and her fragile daughters take up 
residence in a shelter, we follow the harrowing struggles in a single-parenting 
survivor's quest to find work, housing and peace of mind.

The multi-level narrative also examines the deepest causes of domestic violence 
and the solutions that have evolved to stop it, celebrating the battered 
women's movement activists who started the domestic violence revolution 30 
years ago, and examining alternative approaches now being advocated.

The film is is particularly recommended for courses in sociology, social work, 
women's studies, political science, psychology, law enforcement and law. It's a 
must-have for public library collections and is being used with great 
effectiveness by public and non profit organizations. DVD extras include 
director's cut interviews with Kim and her husband, and with Ellen Pence and 
Michael Paymar, co-founders of the Duluth Model.

Re: [Videolib] documents or instructions on weeding Media

[Bergman, Barbara J]

I've been doing a lot of weeding this year of 16mm films and VHS tapes. Here's 
what I did. 
Involved objective shuffling of spreadsheet data, and then some subjective 
decision making: 

First ran reports that included copyright date, date added to collection, 
circulation data  -- total circs and circs within a shorter time frame (I did 3 
years  5 years back, as well as lifetime circs).

Reviewed for weeding: 

1. No circs  at least 5 years in collection
2. Low circs (esp if none within last couple of years)  more than 10 years old

3. What kind of content?
Feature film or documentary/educational? (Didn't weed feature films 
unless appeared to have problems). 
Is title of ongoing interest? Is content classic or likely to be 
out-of-date (ex: history vs science)?  
Is it content of local interest? Out of print? If so, are other copies 
listed as available via WorldCat? 

5. For collection development purposes, I also looked at the high circ VHS -- 
Were the circs recent?  If so, looked to see if DVD/streaming was available for 
reasonable cost.

After identified titles were pulled:
Did visual review of pulled tapes -- Was content what I had thought? Main 
problem identified at this point was what to do with video in a series -- keep 
all or withdraw partial? 
Also did a visual review of what was left on shelves for tapes that looked old 
 beat-up. Checked circ stats -- if still being used, sent up for repackaging.

Most candidates for weeding were so clearcut that I didn't consult subject 
collection developers regarding the withdrawal. I did let some know that we 
should look for newer materials in a few subject areas.  If in doubt, I 
generally put it back on the shelf.

Re: [Videolib] Security System Recommendation

[Bergman, Barbara J]

We use locking cases (CheckPoint, but there are other options). The case is 
tattletaped.
At check out, the lock is removed and the case is desensitized.
A plus of repackaging all DVDs into these cases is that you have uniform items 
for shelving.

I discourage the use of the full-disc overlays with security strips. They 
caused a lot of trouble with our audiobook CDs. I would use on the DVDs which 
are even more sensitive to the imbalance created by the tattletape strips.

As for different options of cases, talk to vendors and ask them to send you 
samples. You want to see how sturdy the cases are, how easy the lock  key 
mechanism functions (the key is usually device with a big magnet).

No system is 100% effective. If someone wants to steal a disc, they'll find a 
way.

Subject: [Videolib] Core DVD Titles

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to you because I have discovered a public library system in a 
mid-sized city (and the capital of that State) that holds virtually NO DVD 
titles in its collections. Gasp, ack!! Hard to believe, but it's the God's 
honest truth. And this is in a metropolitan area where one would just presume 
that of course they would circulate DVDs, for variety but especially 
circulation statistics. Never mind currency and relevancy to the community. 
This could be my golden opportunity if I play my cards right, and I am in the 
midst of formulating my presentation plan.

I write to you, because I am coming from one of the nation's largest public 
libraries, for which DVDs (and music) comprise a hefty bulk of statistics 
collected. A core popular VHS collection was built over thirty years ago. As 
VHS transitioned to DVD, so did we. Often it was merely replacing one for the 
other. So, here's my quandry: Can anyone, or many of you, recommend sources for 
locating basic core DVD titles? At this point I am thinking strictly feature 
films, but in my fevered mind, I would want to introduce documentaries as well. 
TV and the performing arts are just a distant dream.

And while we're at it, if any one, or many of you, have core music lists (which 
strikes me as a more difficult proposition), I would be very interested those 
as well.

If I've piqued anyone's interest, and you'd like to pursue a conversation about 
this, please feel free to contact me off list. I do attest to being staggered 
by this find, and any input for making my case for the introduction of DVDs 
into the collection would be most welcome.

Thanks for your consideration!

Re: [Videolib] quality check?

[Bergman, Barbara J]

We check every DVD when it arrives, before it is cataloged.  The policy started 
when it used to take a long time to get AV cataloged - not a problem now, but 
still good to find problems immediately.

We don't find a huge number of problems, but it's bad PR if prof checks out a 
new DVD and discovers that it doesn't work in the classroom.  Yes, malfunctions 
happen regardless, but awkward when they know it's a new purchase...

Although I feel that we find enough problems to justify the process, I know 
that more time is spent on it than really necessary by a longtime staff member.
In the future, I anticipate making it a student task where it's a quick check 
of a chapter or two.
If in a pinch, we would probably only check the expensive titles. It's sadly 
possible that they might not get checked out for awhile, making it hard to 
determine if there was defect or if damage occurred later, and therefore a 
large loss if a problem is found later.

Re: [Videolib] Institutional Pricing for DVDs rant

[Bergman, Barbara J]

It's the vendor's prerogative to sell at different prices, but it annoys me 
when a film vendor doesn't understand U.S. copyright law and tries to grant or 
deny classroom screening rights -- which are explicitly allowed in section 110 
of the copyright law.
I expect that the higher institutional price will include a  license for public 
performance rights, but it has nothing to do with classroom use.

In this case, I would reply to the vendor, politely explaining the classroom 
exemption vs PPR.
If the pricing is more than you want to pay - ask the vendor about discounts.  
I think we all understand that it's not feasible for most filmmakers to make a 
profit at $25 a DVD, but there's usually some room to work with.

(I like discounts because stretching my funds means I ultimately am able to add 
more film titles for my patrons :-)

And Richard - if you haven't attended the National Media Market, it's a great 
way to get to talk one-on-one with vendors and other video buying librarians.

Fellow camslib/videolib folks, 

A faculty member recently requested we acquire a film titled White Scripts and 
Black Supermen: Black Masculinities in Comic Books.  At the site to purchase 
it, the dreaded tiered pricing plan appears 
(http://newsreel.org/video/WHITE-SCRIPTS-BLACK-SUPERMEN), with public and 
school libraries allowed to buy it for $25, while colleges have to spend nearly 
$200. They claim if you purchase the home video version, you are not granted 
rights to show the film in classrooms. Now, I'm not a lawyer, but these sort of 
statements don't sound right to me. A colleague mentioned that some publishers 
do this because they need funds to cover future productions and it's a way for 
large institutions to subsidize independent documentaries, but I can't help 
feel offended that they use these scare tactics and assume colleges can easily 
absorb these large costs. I'm probably late to the party on this topic, but I 
wonder what your thoughts are. Does anyone try to work with 
publishers/producers to make
  these sort of materials more affordable? How do you all handle these sort of 
acquisition situations?

Cheers from Nebraska,

Re: [Videolib] Film collection CD policies

[Bergman, Barbara J]

I make a point of picking up a few feature films  TV seasons each year that 
haven't been specifically requested, but I think will be of interest to the 
students.
Really, just about any popular show has potential for classroom use. I'm often 
surprised at what later ends up being used in a class.  

Our gift statement is that we reserve the right to do whatever we want with a 
gift (i.e. if we don't need it for the collection, it can go on a booksale or 
be discarded). If it's something we obviously don't want, we'll try to dissuade 
them from giving it to us, but sometimes gifts get dropped off with student 
working Circ Desk, so it's an all-purpose form.

[Videolib] Humor? DVD Licensing

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Yes, these are the exact words found on the website for a newly released DVD. 
After generously (sarcasm font) granting me classroom screening rights, they 
un-grant PPR in bullet 3, and forbid library lending in bullet 4. This is me 
beating head on desk before contacting them to talk about sections 109  110 
and normal acceptable terms of sale.

1. The institutional price comes with the license to screen the film for 
audiences, unlike a home video fee which only includes the license to watch the 
film in your home.

2. Purchase effectively means lease for the life of the DVD. Price includes 
public performance rights for classroom, organizational, or library use by the 
acquiring institution for non-paying audiences only.

3. Any screenings that are open to the public or where admission is charged 
will result in additional rental fees. Please specify on the order form if this 
applies.

4. DVD must not leave custody of the licensor, no lending out (from library 
location or otherwise), absolutely no copying.

5. Proof of institute status required.

Re: [Videolib] No DVD if its Streaming policy

[Bergman, Barbara J]

I'm having a What the...? reaction to this. I'm all for saving money, but if 
the only consideration is is it available online for free? this is incredibly 
shortsighted.
Sometimes you only need onetime access so these options might be just fine, but 
what about films that will be used for years?

Hulu changes content constantly and includes advertising. Netflix streaming and 
Amazon instant video offerings also change frequently nor are they free.
Many things get posted to YouTube that aren't supposed to be there. Sure you 
can watch that documentary on Snagfilms - if you don't mind a lot of 
advertising.
There is some good material on stable platforms (PBS, Annenberg, etc) but those 
can change too.

Looking at whether to purchase a streaming license rather than the DVD is 
important, but licensed streaming is very different than can we find it on 
YouTube?

Comparing to journal databases -- ERIC documents are (were) freely available 
from http://eric.ed.gov, but we pay for the added value of the indexing from 
EBSCO and ProQuest.

p.s. Since you're in Charleston, plan to attend the National Media Market when

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video vendor guide

Jo Ann -

Coincidentally, the planning board of the National Media Market had decided to 
make the Preview Portal freely available through the end of October even if you 
weren't able to attend last year's Market. Go to http://nmm-previewportal.net/ 
to create a guest account.



You will also start finding links to the Preview Portal from some reviews in 
Educational Media Reviews Online. http://emro.lib.buffalo.edu/emro/



The exhibiting partners have been encouraged to load 10 minute clips, to give 
you a better feel for the film content than you get from a teaser clip.  Vendor 
specs include information about availability of streaming video option.



Try it out, let us know what you think.



Librarians registered for the 2013 NMM will receive access to the Preview 
Portal until the next market in 2014.

Re: [Videolib] quick poll

[Bergman, Barbara J]

We have open stacks, with the DVDs in locked cases (case is tattletaped; discs 
are not - overlays tend to cause playback problems).
We use Checkpoint, which less expensive than the more secure KwikCases.
I think lack of theft is more a nature of our patron population than from the 
security.  It's not difficult to crack the cases open.
The handful of times we've had cases broken into and the disc stolen, they were 
inexpensive titles that were easy to replace (or not). The pricey documentaries 
are not at risk from theft.

Re: [Videolib] Netflix Streaming and Face-to-Face

[Bergman, Barbara J]

It probably technically goes against the terms of service, but then so does 
having a subscription to the DVDS, but they don't seem to care that our billing 
address is clearly the library.

IMHO, I would treat it as normal classroom use as long as they aren't sharing 
their password, and therefore enabling others to access the account.
I have had to refer faculty to Netflix or Amazon a couple of times because the 
film was only available for streaming rental.

Re: [Videolib] WGBH Open Vault project

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Here's the full message from WGBH rep:



The first thing we would need to do is determine if we legally have

the right to make this program available on Open Vault.  We do this by

asking for a non-refundable $60.00 payment to conduct rights research.

We do this by reviewing contract and other documents and then consult

our legal department.

If we determine we cannot publish the program on Open Vault, then

unfortunately, you've spent $60.00 to help us determine that.

If we determine we can make the program available then the next step

would be to collect the remaining fee to actually digitize, add

metadata and publish to Open Vault.



The fee can change depending on the format we have in the Archives for

that specific program.  I've quoted prices between $250.00 and $375.00.



If you would like more information or a more accurate quote, please

let me know.



Thank you for your interest in Open Vault.

the past year -- seems to be losing orders, taking a long time to fill them, 
doesn't seem to have items they advertise on hand, etc.  The third-party 
company they sometimes uses charges a huge premium and takes eons to fulfill

Re: [Videolib] video transcription

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Hi Kelly -

1.  Do you have collection development/ or acquisitions about selecting 
videos with closed captioning?  Is there even a choice?  I've never noticed 
this myself, but I have not spent a lot of time ordering films myself.
In most cases, there is no choice. Cataloging will note whether or not the copy 
received includes captions.  I've been surprised by not finding captions on 
programs that aired on TV, and therefore should have had captions.
Subtitling is not the same as captioning, but most DVDs will have an English 
subtitle option. Depending on student need, the subtitles may be sufficient.


2.  Do you transcribe films that do not have CC?

Yes, at request of Accessibility Services office. They do so based on course 
syllabi that hearing-impaired students are registered for. Transcription is 
done by Instructional Technology. Last I heard, they do a mix of in-house 
transcription, but sometimes send out to have it done.


3.  If so, do you do it upon request or do you do it in advance?

No anticipatory captioning is done.

Many of the streaming video platforms (Kanopy, Alexander Street, etc) include 
transcripts that can be read online while watching the streamed video.

Re: [Videolib] Replacement Cost Policy

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Our default is $200. Plus $10 late fees and $10 processing fee. Automatically 
bills at 7 days overdue.

When the student returns it, the $200 goes away, they pay $20. (Faculty and 
staff don't have to pay late fees).
If lost and patron reports it to us, we charge actual replacement cost up to 
the $200 plus $10 processing fee. If they tell us immediately, we waive the 
late fee.  Most of the time lost DVD is a feature film available for $15 on 
Amazon.
If item is found and returned within 6 months, they get a refund minus the $10 
processing fee.

Dear Collective Mind,

We want to set a default amount for replacement cost for our AV. I need to know 
if you have such a policy and if you do what is your default amount. We used to 
have the amount the same as the cost of the item. But we have been faced with a 
lot of items never returned. Students have paid the replacement cost in order

expensive than when we bought them. Thanks.

Re: [Videolib] Question about Scene Selections etc

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Yes.

Faculty frequently make use of chapters and time codes to queue up a particular

To be blunt, if I know that a distributor doesn't include the chapter breaks, 
I'm less likely to order that DVD.

Re: [Videolib] Media Circulation Best Practices

[Bergman, Barbara J]

I was going to say pretty much what deg did: Why wouldn't you allow students to 
checkout videos?

One week for all (except reserves of course). Faculty can ask for extensions 
(most know they don't get fined). Students can re-check out if needed.
We have far more leverage with students than the faculty to get videos back on 
time -- late fees (up to $10) and the default replacement billing ($200) put a 
hold on their campus record, which gets their attention if they ignored the 
email notices.
Community users get same terms as students.

Re: [Videolib] Roku circulation

I've been considering circulating Roku boxes to provide access to the

I know some libraries are loading the digital Ultraviolet copy that comes with 
many BluRay/DVD purchases, and is then viewed with Vudu.
I consider this a questionable practice since it is creating an additional 
copy, and I suspect terms don't include that of First Sale use that the DVD has.

Subject: Re: [Videolib] Roku circulation

Hi Maxwell,

First sale only applies to *sales* of films, which is less obvious a statement 
than it seems, since Vudu’s terms of 
servicehttp://www.vudu.com/termsofservice.html state the following:

“In order to access and use the VUDU Service, you must open an account online 
[…] When you purchase Content, you will be granted a non-exclusive, 
non-transferable limited license to access, use in accordance with any 
additional terms that may be provided with your VUDU compatible device, and 
view the Content as often as you like subject to the applicable restrictions 
described below.”

So everyone has to open their own account to use Vudu, and purchasing content 
doesn’t actually appear to convey ownership of it, which would mean that first 
sale is out as a consideration. Furthermore, the license to access content from 
Vudu that users purchase is non-transferable, which seems to me (disclaimer: 
this is only an opinion which should not be construed as legal advice) to mean 
that a library can’t either purchase material from Vudu and lend it to its 
users, or let users purchase material and bill it to a library account, unless, 
of course, they’ve obtained permission from Vudu.

To respond to Randy’s comment below, I would be concerned that even if Vudu is 
okay with this, the people who are providing content to them might not be, and 
thus would not assume that just because I haven’t been told to cease and desist 
yet doesn’t mean I won’t be in the future.

[Bergman, Barbara J]

I think the one clear answer we've gotten out of this discussion is that there 
is no one right answer.  Academic libraries are pretty diverse. :)

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.
