To me this seems to fly in the face of Fair Use factor 4 because feature films tend to be readily accessible for loan, rent, or purchase at reasonable prices. But I can see how it would apply to videos priced at institutional tiered rates because what student or instructor is going to shell out $250 to watch a film as part of a class assignment? If streamed, it's not going to affect sales anyway. But if a video were only marketed as educational, then Peter Jaszi's transformative use wouldn't come into play, though a high price could make it fair under factor 4. This doesn't apply to most books because students have been enculturated to pay for expensive text books, which is why it wouldn't be fair to scan an entire book and post it online under factor 4. that's my two cents anyway Janice Woo On Feb 6, 2012, at 12:50 PM, Jessica Rosner wrote: I am afraid the focus on feature films is my fault Bob.

Re: [Videolib] Film discussion series - current trends
Dear Nell, great question. we've tried to do some film series in the past and I think you are right on trying to connect faculty with it. it is super cool to try to connect a movie with a discussion of it in cool ways. the venue is always the issue for us. we've not a really great space to screen films. we've recently retrofitted an old theater in our library with capabilities for screenings, so we'll see. in the past, our efforts have been not so successful, but if I reflect on it a bit, I think if you are gonna try something like this, you have to have some tolerance for low attendance for awhile. My biggest regret is that I didn't continue the series. I'd say just do it and make the faculty intervention piece gravy. show some films, market it a bit, and cultivate a culture of curation on the campus. Maybe include students in the process. One cool place to look for films is https://beta.smplmchn.com.

Re: [Videolib] Yale's VHS Collecting
Dear David, Very cool. Thanks for this. Troy On Sun, Mar 8, 2015 at 12:46 PM, Gary, David david.g...@yale.edu wrote: Dear List, I wanted to respond to concerns over the Yale Daily News article about our recent VHS acquisition. The way the YDN reporter wrote the story was unfortunate. I was very clear with her about what was unique about Yale's VHS collecting, but that nuance did not make its way into the piece. For the record, we are not the first institution collecting VHS. But here is what I think is unique about this effort: What is key is that we are actively collecting VHS for its historic value as a format. If I am wrong about anyone currently purchasing VHS for its specific value as a format, I’d like to know. Collections, like Yale’s, that were once full of VHS, have largely transitioned over to DVD and now Blu-ray, indicating that the thing being collected is the movie, not so much the format. What we’re doing is giving VHS a pride of place that it doesn’t currently have anywhere except in the world of private collectors. We are saying that VHS tapes can merit special collections status. In fact, since this story was published, I have received two e-mails from academic librarians asking me if I wanted to take on their VHS collections, which they are deaccessioning. This has been the prevailing practice for over a decade, and the goal of this project to stop that way of thinking—or at least get people to reconsider it. From the boxes, labels, trailers, and cuts of the movies, what we have brought in is unique and historically valuable. So, while many library collections in the country have tapes, I think it is almost certainly true that this is the only specific effort to collect VHS as a historical medium.

Re: [Videolib] Looking for Vendors of Contemporary Cuban Cinema
Hi there. I would suggest looking here: http:www.cubancinemaclassics.org. There's a rich tradition in contemporary Cuban works of remixing and going intertextual with revolutionary era works. Dr. Ann Marie Stock here at WM would also be a good resource for information about emerging (and revolutionary era works). The Zone of Silence doc by Karel Ducase mentioned by Nina was subtitled by students here at WM btw. Here's a link to Stock's latest book. http://uncpress.unc.edu/books/T-8742.html Hope this helps.
