Re: [Videolib] great courses

I have never hesitated on acquistioning any "Great Courses"  for a moment. They circulate heavily, are heartily appreciated and are a worthwhile and valuable investment. Some of the best money spent, I say that from experience.   Don't overthink this one. To let you know, I am coming from a publi

Re: [Videolib] great courses

Hi Rhonda, I select them for purchase as well. Some students like them to supplement their courses, or to refresh (e.g. someone who jhas been out in the work place for several years doing an MSc in civil engineering who needs to refresh on fluid dynamics). Others I select for general education fo

Re: [Videolib] great courses

A few years ago, we received a donation of pretty much the entire library of great courses. They are quite popular and a limited number of faculty find them useful. For the most part, it's students and special borrowers who actually check them out. It's also important to note that many of the

Hi all, I'm new to this list and new to managing media rights in any way, though I'm quickly getting up to speed with copyright restrictions on media usage. I thought I'd tap into your collective wisdom for a possible solution to perplexing issue. On my campus, we have a few faculty members

This one is kind of biggie and filled with bits of irony.

Chris, we carried this title for many years - it was a good seller. We lost distribution rights in 2005. I don't know who is handling in the US, if anyone, but our original source for the program was Multimedia Group of Canada. It's possible the clearances simply expired and weren't renewed by t

Re: [Videolib] great courses

Ug! It's interesting having been around a "high-class" institutional joint like Berkeley for so many years. I cannot tell you the number of times I've suspected faculty of using videos as a way of worming out of teaching for one reason or another. At least in those instances the stuff they were

Re: [Videolib] great courses

They are indeed talking heads, but I think they are pretty darn good ones-our patrons consistently rate them highly. Essentially they are taped university course lectures. Most likely not meant for academic libraries, given that they would be competing for your own professors' classes, but that'

Re: [Videolib] great courses

Rhonda, I had to purchase many of them for a faculty member who insisted they were the most amazing things ever. So be it. Most of my colleagues did not agree, but some faculty do use certain Courses because they do like the content. I'd be happy to let you know which ones are used the most.

Hi everyone, I've got a faculty who wants to order one of those "Great Courses." I've tried to avoid them over the years as I consider them more in the talking heads kind of productions, And basically a substitute for a teacher, rather than a supplementbut am I wrong? Do any of you purcha

Re: [Videolib] Extended Education Classes

Not a problem if they are using the physical copies and not literally sending them by satellite or some kind of streaming method. That would lead to complications especially for fiction films. Also as Michael pointed out, it does not matter where the video comes from as long as it is a legal copy.

Re: [Videolib] Extended Education Classes

You are still a non-profit institution, the purpose is still instruction and it is face to face. I don't see where the issue is. The videos only need to be legal copies (they don't have to belong to the institution - they could be acquired through ILL, or be copies owned by the faculty). mb
