As a person who worked in Acquisitions for many years—what I see happening with
films is the same thing that happened to journals in the early 1990s.
Some larger libraries jumped on to databases, subscriptions, and dumped print
as much as possible. Some didn’t. Some waited—and in some
Hi-
Our library is looking for a video where someone is comparing the US healthcare
system to other healthcare systems in capitalist countries around the world in
a neutral way, or as neutrally as possible.
We are familiar with Frontline Sick Around the World and that is close to
what we are
Please excuse me if this has been covered in the past, but since video is not
part of my current job duties I have less time to spend on this.
In general, I would like to know the following:

Hi-
Our library is looking for examples of information you provide to instructors
about copyright-specifically streaming videos/using online videos in course
management systems.
Does anyone have a nice example of a why the library can't just rip and
stream anything you want ? Or FAQ?

Our library has a subscription to CyberAnatomy (http://www.cyber-anatomy.com/).
We used to also have CyberAnatomy 3d available at the library but no one ever
used it. (DISCLOSURE: The developers of this program work at our university
so we received a big price breakuntil they partnered
Our library recently purchased a subscription to Health and Healthcare in Video
(Alexander Street Press).
I am trying to decide how to best promote this to our users-given that this
currently is very selective. My reluctance is because I am afraid our users
will try to use only this resource
Our libraries put the public performance rights, streaming rights etc. in the
540 field. It is searchable in our catalog.
Here is an example from Boyhood Shadows:

I know this an older question--
we also tried screening some films at our library. I carefully had choices
vetted by multiple student employees to find something that would appealand
we had 1 user at 1 screening and 0 and the other 3.

I have a faculty member looking for some sound effects. He strongly prefers
downloadable ones, and he is willing to pay for them. Does anyone have
recommendations or favorites? (We have the BBC sound effects collection but he
is pressed for time).
Thanks in advance,

I need some help. In my current position I have little video
responsibilities--unless it comes to problem solving.
I am looking for medical documentary films--films that would be of interest to
medical professionals that are about medicine or scientific topics.

Our central IT folks have something like that called digital media lab. Here

It is only for people who are actively teaching--which at our institution could
be a lot of people (but sadly, not me).

When I worked in Acquisitions, we did a similar project. Some of the steps are
still being used for new materials.
1.We checked the vendor's websites when we had paid the institutional
price. If we paid retail, I assumed no additional rights.
2. In some cases-with smaller
I think the real problem for library administrators is the fact that serials is
hogging up a huge portion of their budgets, and with the consolidation of
publishers, it does not seem to be improving. Any model that starts to sound
like a serial (pay per FTE, pay per use, pay annual fee) is
Issues like this further convince me that every large institution needs to have
a specific office for Copyright with the additional mission of training faculty
on copyrights wrongs AND also to ensure that authors, etc. don't sign all
their rights away to publishers (if possible).

Videos seem to be about the only thing that a library orders that come with
license agreements-and it is implied that you return the item if you don't
agree to the terms.
Many times these terms are on the INVOICE, which is only seen by
acquisitions/finance folks. I would recommend checking
You should make the department pay for it-you are right about the precedent,
and they might have some conference money anyway.
What I always told folks was the library will purchase MATERIALS/ACCESS and
if it includes screening rights as part of a purchase price-great. If there
