Hi All As some of you will know, I represent BBC Active Video for Learning, the educational joint-venture between Pearson and BBC Worldwide in the UK. I thought I'd drop a note on here regarding the interesting news from the BBC about Project Barcelona, which proposes to open up the BBC archive

Re: [Videolib] PPR Question: Where do you post your event info?

Deg and Chris, We put our PPR statement in the 540 field so if patrons do a keyword search for public performance rights they'll find any title that has it. In terms of promoting the videos that have PPR, in my experience it's hardly ever those videos that people want to screen. Which makes

Cool stuff! $499 gets you in-perpetuity (do it yourself) streaming rights and a copy of the DVD. Small list at present, but growing. I'm enthusiastic! I [heart] FACETS! Gary Handman I don't recall seeing anything about this on the list... maybe I missed it. But I received an

I had the opposite reaction, assuming this would preclude me from buying at the individual rate as we have been, e.g. Menschenfrauen for $19.95. There are too few students and inadequate bandwidth at my college to make streaming a desirable or viable option. And we don't need PPR because we are

Well, isn't this basically the same deal as other streaming: if it works for your institution in terms of cost-effectiveness and general utility, it works. If not, not...stick with the DVD. I must say that the current FACETS list of titles available for streaming license is limited...but I

We're good as long as Facets allows us to continue buying the individual DVD. See the Menschenfrauen page as an example where one might be steered towards selecting one of the Educational Options because some vendors insist that we cannot purchase without PPR. btw when we ordered Menschenfrauen

I get a little concerned when distributors offer lifetime rights on what I would describe as standard feature films, especially foreign ones. I have been working with Flicker Alley to offer their titles with lifetime streaming rights and while they are able to do this with many, but not all of

A lot of people ask me if Zeitgeist can sell them perpetual streaming/ digital site rights and the answer is no for the very reasons Jessica mentioned. We have not negotiated lifetime rights for any of our titles and therefore cannot offer lifetime rights, streaming or otherwise to

For things sold at a retail/ individual price I agree you should only have to purchase rights you actually need, however with the position of some institutions that they don't need any rights to stream complete feature works the issue becomes complicated. I believe that for educational films for
