I don't understand this question. If the library purchases a book and lends it out, does that "affect the market"? How would lending material "break copyright law"? If the library *owns* the material, it is free to lend it as it wishes. Usually libraries purchase material for the *express* purpo

Farhad, as others have noted, the First Sale doctrine allows you to lend a book or DVD you have purchased, regardless of the effect on the market. This is not subject to the four Fair Use factors, so long as you are not trying to copy or stream the DVD.without permission. I just wanted to poi

Thanks Judith. The specific DVD our faculty is asking is sold separately by the publisher to accompany a set of audio CDs, a workbook, and the textbook in print format. Each one has a separate price. My question is if I purchase the DVDs doesn't it effect the market? Students will buy the textbo

A faculty member asked me to purchase a copy of a DVD that comes with the textbook and workbook for a language course. Our library does not purchase textbooks. But faculty can bring textbooks and put on reserve. My question is not limited to AV. It is more general. How keeping textbooks on reser
