I come from the mindset of more less feature type materials so I can't really speak for media made specifically or even largely for institutional use. Most contracts limit distribution of a film to a particular territory and thus most distributors are only allowed to sell/license in those physical territories.If they agreed to allow persons outside the US to access the material they would likely be in breach of contract. Even when you are dealing directly with the rights holder they may have SOLD those rights for outside the US and they would ironically be violating their contract to allow a student in Spain to access the material. That said I don't think anyone really worries or cares about a student on vacation accessing a film for a course. The big fear/problem is the idea of schools doing online courses with students outside the country, students who basically have no connection to the schools beyond the online courses. Allowing them access would almost surely violate most contracts for distributors and most rights holders would be unwilling to agree to sell such rights even if they could. Now it is not all that gloomy. I think one can get a license that rights holders at least would agree do and distributors could probably get rights holders to allow them to license but it would have to be VERY specific to avoid both violating any deals rights holders make with overseas distributors and from the rights holders point of view giving away too much. Some rights holders are more difficult than others and it goes without saying that almost no standard theatrical films could be covered because those rights holders are REALLY difficult.

Re: [Videolib] Multi-year lease for streaming films - reboot
I would add that most of our e-book packages are similar to our streaming video packages like Alexander Street Press. They tend to be subscription packages, and the content is not really guaranteed for life. Not that this happens often with ASP, but with our e-book packages there have been many occasions when content disappeared when the contract between the distributor and the publisher ran out. Also, some e-book deals are for unlimited simultaneous users while others are single-seat. Some allow downloads, others don't. Some work with mobile devices and e-readers and others don't. And I believe all of the contracts are term-limited, but I'm not sure how. I would imagine we subscribe to packages for 1 year up to 3 years. It's still kind of the wild west out there...

It provides me with consistency in wording and makes conforming to terms easier at my end, which is really what it's all about. In order for that license to be used, it had to pass several checks within our college, and even approval by the Risk Management Branch of our provincial government. So, now, using the template smooths the way for a faster purchase. The license template is modifiable for Title; length of license term; cost; and how the digital file is created or delivered. When we purchase DVDs we don't need licenses for each title, so the digital route is more bureaucratic, and I have to input the details in our ERM (Electronic Records Management) module in Sierra. Definitely more work. At the end of a license, somebody has to negotiate a renewal, or remove the file from the server and remove the MARC record from the system.

These are two very distinct rights and it is very possible that a company that sells only PPR rights does not own streaming rights. Again not clear on if you can only get PPR rights and need streaming but in general streaming rights are easier to obtain for short terms since most major rights holders limit streaming to a year in the case of studios. You also have the issue of nearly constant rights changes.

Hi Suzi, This sounds very intriguing. Just a couple of quick questions. Let's say that The Dark Knight Rises is on the syllabus for a film studies class, then students in that class would simply access that film from your servers using your media player, is that right? But, if any of our ~23,000 students wants to watch it just for entertainment then they could do that as well? Is there an additional fee if we want MARC records?

[Videolib] Question about video games
Hi All, We have a professor who is teaching a class on video games and has requested that we purchase some for the Library, which we're willing to do. We did this for another class many years ago, before my time here as media librarian, and I haven't heard that there were any problems, but I'd be interested in hearing about experiences other libraries have had with collecting and providing access to video games. For example, do you let them circulate outside of the library? Are there licensing issues? Etc.

[Videolib] Safely removing adhesive residue from DVDs
Hi All, A few years ago we installed a security system for our open-stacks DVDs that involved sticking an inventory control hub ring on the discs right around the hole in the center. We wound up not using that system, but we still have a lot of DVDs with the hub rings attached. Every now and then a disc will get stuck in someone's laptop because of the hub ring and it's kind of a pain to get them out, so we're thinking about going back and removing all the hub rings. But, doing so will leave a sticky residue behind which would be worse than the hub ring. Does anyone know of a safe way to remove the sticky residue? Just the careful application of Goo Gone, perhaps?

On overdue videos:
“A 400 buck fine almost always gets the stuff back.”
“For lost or permanently misplaced items, we charge retail cost of

doesn't matter.”
On illegal copying by faculty:
“Tell the faculty member you'll bake him/her a nice cake with a file
in it when he/she becomes cellmates with Martha Stewart...”
On inadequate classroom equipment:
“Since I am (thank the gods of media) not responsible for classroom
equipment, there's really nothing I can do except fume and plead.”
“...I dunno about other academic institutions, but at Berkeley, a good
number of classrooms don't even have window shades, let alone
projectors that will do justice to Blu Ray.”
On fair use:
“Well, unfortunately, there is no nice, tidy, fair use cookbook recipe
for most of this stuff. ”
“Well, whether there's a problem or not depends on how wild and wooly
your institution is in interpreting fair use.”
On work:
“Hullo all (and don't we all fall down on our knees and thanks the
stars it's Friday)”
“Yo ho, maties! ('m feeling positively pirate-y today, for some reason)”
“Thanks God for a discussion thread NOT about copyright... OK...here's
my 2.5 cents (damn, I miss the cents key on the keyboard!): “
“Now, I'm not saying that Berkeley is typical (I would NEVER say that
Berkeley is typical), “
On independent producers:
“if the small guys with cool stuff go away, God help us all.”
On tiered pricing:
“I've been mulling over the spate of recent posts re tiered pricing,
etc. Mulling and stewing (sorta sounds like holiday dinner, don't it?) “
On media use:
“you can talk about forcing faculty to reserve in advance all you
want; you can try to predict probable forthcoming need based on past
use patterns. It's still a crap shoot. “
On unversity administrators;
“You're boss is sorely deluded...Hers is, I'm afraid, the kind of
bubbly administratorspeak that's based less on insight and real
knowledge and more on on buzz and other ill-gotten notions picked up
banging around the infosphere...”
“I think there is an almost universal perception (outside of our small
professional clique) that the specialization is no longer really
needed (if it ever was). This, of course, is utter bushwah...but
tell that to administrators closely watching the bottom line. ”
“Where to start? So much stupidity, so little time to vent...”
On multi-region machines:
“Get another Senior Purchasing agent...or have her (him) show you the
law that says these machines are illegal.”
On streaming media:
“Again, my major concern in all of this is the potential of sliding
toward the procrustean...the tendency to cut of the head and the feet
to match the size of the bed.”
“By the way, in my experience, students don't really give a two-penny
damn about image quality, in most instances. These are folks (like my
daughter) who will watch a 90 minute feature film on their iPhones. “
“I think it is becoming increasingly common for technology to dictate
content, and that's a really nasty direction to take. Library
administrators and tech salesmen aren't always that far apart in their
witting (or unwitting) buy-in to this trend.”
On subject lists:
“OK...this thing has gotten completely out of hand...I'm stopping
now...really...I mean itI'm still open for suggestions, but just a
crack...”
“No the be-all and end-all, but at least it's something.”
On responding too fast to a VideoLib post:

[Videolib] Fair use and video document
Gary, I don't believe there was there was a survey, the data was mostly gathered through focus groups and interviews. I participated in one of the focus groups, and while it's true that I'm relatively new to the profession, there were other people in the room who have been doing this for a long time and I wouldn't characterize them as being largely clueless. I'm curious, was there something in the report that lead you to that conclusion or are you just assuming? Also, even if these community practices don't always align with practices at the local level, because so many areas of copyright law are open to interpretation, and because different institutions have different administrative pressures that they have to respond to, I think a document that discusses community practices is very interesting. And if it's used as a tool leading towards best practices or even refinements in the law, even better. Weren't the DMCA anti-circumventions exemptions issued partly in response to feedback from stakeholders, including librarians?

I'll admit to a rapidly failing memory, but I don't recall being asked to take this survey... The answers you get in a survey such as this MUST be assessed in light of who's doing the responding (i.e. the defined community). Given the rather insane and continuing paucity of professionals devoted either in significant part or whole to overseeing media collection development and management in academic libraries, and given the likely cloudy or incomplete understanding of current market and legal issues by those not directly involved in the practice, I think you gotta take such results with several grains of salt. Using community practice as the basis of best practice when the community surveyed is largely clueless ain't a particularly good way to go. Gary Well, deg's right that it'll probably cause some consternation among my people -- it's definitely inflammatory in its descriptions of distributors and the us versus them rhetoric and who owns the copyright law. I do appreciate the line near the end Not a single librarian revealed herself as being either cavalier about the law or dismissive of the market and know it to be the case among most but it would be nice to have some of the discussions we've had here about the balancing the needs of education versus the sustainability of producing new content.

Re: [Videolib] DVD approval plans
Just a note of clarification, there is a slight difference between an approval plan and a standing order plan. Approval plans tend to be designed around subject or content. With books they usually begin with a call number range and are then refined from there. So something like, send me everything in PN1997 for upper undergraduates and from university presses. Standing orders tend to be designed around other parameters. In books it might be send my anything reviewed in the New York Times, for example. We did actually pilot a standing order plan for DVDs this past year. Our criteria covered specific distributors/studios (Criterion, Zeitgeist, Film Movement, etc), award-winners (Ocsars, Emmy's etc.), and film festivals (Sundance, Cannes, etc.). I was very pleased with it because it freed up a little of my time and we got DVDs that might not have come across my radar. The one downside was cost: each DVD cost around $12.00 more than if we'd gotten it from Baker and Taylor or Ingram. And I'm afraid that in these tight budget times we may not be able to continue with it.

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 it all the harder having to pay for it.

Also agree that The Birds and Alien are some of the very best... and a few other good ones came to mind last night: The Spiral Staircasehttp://www.moviegoods.com/Assets/product_images/1020/196846.1020.A.jpg (1945) The House of the Devilhttp://seriousmovielover.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/house_of_the_devil_500.jpg (2009) and speaking of scary made-for-TV movies (I just recently saw the bizarre Bad Ronald, it's been released on DVD for the Warner Archiveshttp://www.wbshop.com/Bad-Ronald/1000179737,default,pd.html?cgid=!), has anyone seen Dark Night of the Scarecrowhttp://adamantiumbullet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/dark_night_scarecrow.jpg (1981)?

From my librarian's viewpoint, the interface and functionality are a little frustrating - for example - advertisements that played during a particular show are listed - but there are not any times of when they played provided so it is difficult to find the actual commercials.

Re: [Videolib] Captioning - Is permission required from distributor?
This basically involves making a copy, right?

I believe that, technically, permission must be sought... Don't think the ADA makes provisions for doing this without such. Check out: (legal opinion, State of California) Option 2 Obtain Permission to Caption Audiovisual Materials If a closed-captioned version of the needed video is unavailable from the publisher, the next best option is to request permission from the copyright owner to caption the video. It is important that you obtain written permission to caption the video. You should not interpret a lack of response from the copyright holder as permission to caption. Gary Handman I just saw a memo for our system counsel that struck me as wrong, but need some backing evidence. It is telling the Office of Disability Services to ask permission from distributors before creating an open captioned version of films. My understanding is that this is allowed under ADA and that no permission is needed. Right? (Contacting the distributor to find out if there is perhaps a captioned version available, yes. Permission, no.) Captioning is only being added to videos where there is a hearing-impaired student enrolled in the class. (And only on legally acquired -i.e. purchased-videos.)

[Videolib] Question about Disney's Dumbo
Hi All, Does anyone know if the either the 2006 DVD or the new 70th anniversary edition of Dumbo is uncensored? I have a patron who is interested in the scenes with the crows and apparently in some version the lead crow is named Jim Crow but in other versions they changed that.

There is one line at about 51:20 where one crow sounds like he might be saying Jim, look down there brother but what the subtitle says is Just look down there brother. Its ambiguous enough to be either. I watched the whole segment and no other reference to any crows name was made. But I don't have the original 1941 edition to compare it to, so I'm not sure if it's uncensored.
