Hi Kim,
We frequently get requests for versions of our films with closed captions.
Because we do not have closed captions for all of our older titles, we are
happy to offer an exchange - provide us with the closed captioning file and we
will re-author the DVD. That way, we can also make the closed caption version
available to other schools.
Best,
Alice

I don't know the legality of making them without permission from the
distributor but I can say that we have never refused a request as long as
the institution has purchased a copy (home video or institutional) of the
Milestone DVD or Blu-ray legally from us or wherever. And I would gladly
permit keeping it in the archive for future use if needed. But I wouldn't
like the dupe copy put out in the general collection.
One thing I have to say is that whether it was the Americans with
Disabilities Act and the increased need or just new technology, the cost of
adding SDH titles has dropped so significantly (and the knowledge that
Itunes and Amazon will usually require them) that for at least the feature
of a DVD, we've been able to afford it for most of our new releases these
days.
Is that the case for most releases by distributors?

Hi Kim,
We do not keep the captioned copies in the library after the semester
they are requested because of the situation you mentioned. We send them
back to the DS office and they can do what they want with them. In most
cases the captioned copy will never be used again but that's okay because
our primary concern is access to the current student.

Hi all,
I?ve been working with my Office of Disability Accommodation for the past
few months to get students with hearing impairments access to closed
caption versions of films they have been assigned to watch for class.
Recently we paid for had a handful of films to be sent out for captioning
by a vendor. I don?t the specifics, but ODA relied on Americans with
Disabilities Act to justify making the copy. I believe Fair Use can also be
employed for this purpose. Either way, we did not seek permission from the
copyright holder, we relied on exception in the law.
Now there are two copies of the film ? the original library copy and this
new CC copy. How should this second CC copy be managed? ODA wants the
library to manage access, but I don?t think legally we can add it to the
circulating collection. What are the legalities or best practices for
managing these kinds of items?
Thank you!
Kim
