Well, in my very humble opinion, and mind you, I am spouting off without my usual "thoughtful and ageless reflection." :) The VHS is simply a vessel. It holds the creation. It doesn't matter where you get it. If the student has negotiated some kind of copy permission and she can get a tape som

Here's a scenario that I don't think we've run across before: The library purchased a VHS video art tape from Electronic Arts Intermix with the usual limited PPR. A student wants to exhibit the piece continuously as part of her MFA thesis show, and because an exhibition copy with rights cos

I am not sure whether I should butt in because I'm not a real librarian. But as a library user I think there is something to be said for having movies related to movies used in the classroom available. Not everything in higher education involves a one-on-one correspondence between required or e

Dear Gary, Thanks for your eye-opening post. I'd love to see your list but didn't get the attachment. The issue you raise is one that faces distributors as well. The primary reason titles are not available digitally is embedded copyrighted material which has not been cleared for digital delivery

Hi We don't use Swank. Swank may be a good (albeit over-the-top expensive)source for individual, short-term course reserve viewings, but they really don't offer the type of license that's appropriate for longer-term collection building. gary > Do you use a Swank license for most of the studio
