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. Barb Bergman | Media Services & Interlibrary Loan Librarian | Minnesota State University, Mankato | (507) 389-5945 | barbara.berg...@mnsu.edu
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.
