Hi-
Does anyone know if the Video at Risk project (dealing with reformatting of VHS
tapes) has a relationship with the new ARL Code of Best Practices
undertaking ? Have there been a conversation between these parties?
Just Curious.
Thanks.

Hi Debra
Berkeley is a principle partner in this project (along with NYU). A
significant part of the project will be identifying materials in
collections which are eligible for reformatting, primarily under the
provisions of Section 108, but possibly under the mantle of fair use, as
well.

It almost surely a European company . The fact that is not out on DVD means
it either has rights issues or someone just not think it is worth it.
The original American distributor Cineplex Odeon is long gone from the
distribution business and I doubt they could help

Please share - we just went to having all our discs in the cases - and it's
turning out to be a disaster - of course, no security, though.

Does this project have a proposed date to share its list of identified
materials?

The project runs thru June--i.e. the second phase, which will produce
lists of materials identified as possible 108 candidates in the
collections of the partner insitutions (NYU/Avery Fisher; UCB MRC; and

I know I have mentioned this before but never directly asked you, is it
your belief that in determining if an item is rare and should be
preserved that no effort should ever be made to contact the rights
holder/filmmaker? I ask because that is exactly what one of the top NYU
people told a
Dear list,
Many of the questions people are posing with respect to the ARL code could be
solved by, radical as this idea may be, actually reading the code. However,
since it's apparently much easier to complain than to learn, I will summarize
what the code actually says on this issue.

What makes you think we're gonna be perfunctory in doing due diligence?
Yes...we have developed a fairly elaborate template which takes a search

Actually what you have listed below is not what is in 108 but a clever

That's three copies, Dennis..cf 108.b and 108c
and secondly...we seem to be conflating issues of fair use with Section

digital copies of collection items that are likely to deteriorate, or
that exist only in difficult-to-access formats, for purposes of
