You might even get the film users - for example, professors - to express 
interest.

I like the idea of a petition.  Who would we target?  Amazon (Prime) and 
Netflix seem to be the primary 'offenders' right now.  (But there are 
individual / self-distributors who are also only selling to individuals via 
stream.)

Another possibility -- maybe a joint letter from VRT and NMM?

Meredith and other vendor allies -- what do you think would be a good way for 
those of us interested in making a joint statement to get the attention of the 
right folks?

Alternately, it might be helpful to attach something like the joint letter or a 
statement with a giant gob of signatories when we're all individually 
contacting distributors.  Like, keep it on your desktop and just clip it to any 
of these individual emails we might send when we advocate for educational 
distribution.  "You might be interested to know that there are many who are 
concerned about this issue, and are interested in purchasing hard copies and 
educational licenses.  Please see the attached letter."

Thanks for passing this along, Lorraine!!  This is exciting!  Although, it

a streaming version to which we can provide access for our patrons who may not 
have a Netflix account.  I was just having a conversation about this (films 
produced by streaming services without any means for libraries to purchase hard 
copies or license) with the lovely Meredith Miller not a few hours ago, and 
just a week or two ago had an exchange with the distributors of the Netflix 
film Audrie and Daisy<http://www.audrieanddaisy.com/>.  It went as follows:

Me: "Greetings, I am a media librarian at the University of Delaware Library. 
One of UD's student groups will be hosting a film screening of Audrie & Daisy 
soon, and we've already had requests that we add the film to our Library's

Several of us (myself, Lorraine, and a few others who may or may not be on 
VideoLib?) who attended National Media Market in October discussed this very 
thing over lunch one afternoon -- the need to advocate and raise awareness 
amongst the producers of films that fit into this growing category.  Towards 
that end, I'd encourage everyone to take the extra time to contact producers of 
films like 13th, Audrie & Daisy, Transparent, etc. when your students / 
instructors request them to help the producers understand the need for an 
educational distribution model that would allow us to provide access to these 
important films.  Clearly, Ms. DuVernay and the Filmsprout folks intend for 
these documentaries to be widely seen and utilized in educational settings -- 
they need to hear from us that we share that mission and need options to pay 
them for / license their content.

Best,

Happy Halloween -- hope you all have some time today to spend with Ash or Jason

Here's my Monday morning query.  Do you have any favorite user tutorials for

Library is looking at creating best practices and searching for 'best'

Re: [Videolib] Amazon Prime

[Laura Jenemann]

Hi Bob and all,

Yes, exactly: the classroom is a public space, i.e, playing a film there would 
be considered a public performance.

Sec. 110(1) is the "but."  If all of the factors in Sec. 110(1) apply to the 
public performance, you can exercise the exemption it allows.

Relatedly, even when the scenario is a public performance, the 
streaming-personal-license-only access model changes or may change how we can 
hold a community dialogue that amazing film inspires.  The rhetorical question 
I ask myself is, Could I plan a community event around a 
streaming-personal-license-only film and market it as a "dialogue about this 
really important streaming film that we can't show you because we can't buy the 
rights even if we wanted?"  I'm joking somewhat, but there are some awesome 
films and videos out there that I wish were more accessible.

Laura

Well, using the I'm not a lawyer just thinking logically approach, a professor 
and the students seems more similar to a public performance than a private 
viewing. Profs may have an affinity for their students but the students are not 
the prof's friends. It is rare that a prof would invite students into their 
home or hotel room, hopefully. However, when you have a public performance it 
is often people with something in common that have an affinity for one another 
but are not friends. It is not "Personal," which is the only right Amazon is 
granting.

I generally prefer to hold on to the supplemental materials, even if never

Re: [Videolib] Streaming Media Devices and Streaming Databases

Hi Sarah (and all),

I was actually thinking along the same lines of Apps/Channels.  Thanks for 
saying what I was thinking.

I have been pondering the fact that many of the streaming databases stream 
cinema, not just videos.  So the problems that Jennifer describes (thanks for 
the tip, Jennifer!) regarding wifi seem to diminish the cinematic experience.  
Not that there is anything wrong with watching cinema on a mobile device, it's 
just a different experience.

Hi Laura,

I have successfully streamed films on Kanopy via Chromecast using an

to Chromecast.  I did this by casting from my iPad to Chromecast, but you can 
also add an extension to Chrome on a laptop or desktop and send any web-based 
streaming video to Chromecast. I have noticed, though, that proximity and wifi 
strength is a major factor in terms of video quality when casting this way.

I hope that helps!

[Videolib] Dance film distribution

[Laura Jenemann]

Hello,

As some of you know, one of the reasons that I love being a media librarian is 
because I love dance.  Not only is the audiovisual medium critical to capturing 
dance, but understanding how the human form moves has been a part of cinema 
history since...well, a long time, from what I can tell.

I've been researching a lot of great looking dance films lately: winners of San 
Francisco Dance Film Festival, Dance on Camera, and others.  What surprises me 
is how few of these films seem to have distribution.  While I have seen many 
films on dance as a video reviewer, the films submitted for review aren't 
always the same as those winning the awards at the festivals.

I'm particularly surprised that one film about a very famous choreographer I 
first learned of years ago is running an Indiegogo campaign for DVD/VOD 
distribution.  I would think that this film would have broad interest to those 
outside of the dance community, given that the choreographer has worked with 
Michael Jackson.

I'm simply curious and hoping to learn:
Why do many award-winning dance films lack distribution, while others don't?  
Is it because dance is a niche interest?  Or are there other reasons?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts and creative ideas.

Regards,
Laura

My situation is similar to Becky's. We don't have a policy specifically for 
Blu-Rays, but will get the combo packs (catalog them separately), only Blu-Ray 
releases, or if the faculty specifically request a Blu-Ray version. We did this 
for the Lord of the Rings trilogy last year which a film studies professor 
requested it.

Budget is the main factor. I would love to buy a DVD and Blu-Ray copy for every 
film I buy, but I can't afford to do so. I do look at the annual circulation 
counts for the films, and our Blu-Ray films do have a high number of circs so I 
have some evidence if I ever decide to request funds to build up our Blu-Ray 
collection.

We don't really have a policy per se.  We don't have a specific Blu-Ray

released.  Or, if a film receives great reviews, but is only released on 
Blu-Ray, we'll also get that.  For a while, one of our branch selectors was 
getting Blu-Ray of top releases, but she wasn't aware that we really didn't 
collect them.  Part of the whole issue comes down to budget.  We just don't 
have it.  I hope this helps.

Re: [Videolib] Promised Land

[Laura Jenemann]

Hi,

I think that Michael brings up a good point whether or not a replacement
fulfills certain needs.

DVDs in an academic library has are used not only for in-classroom
learning, but for out-of-classroom education as well.  That¹s a need that
is very important in libraries, because education and media literacy
opportunities happen outside of the classroom, too.  For example, a common
assignment is for students to research the library¹s collection on a
particular topic and watch a film out of the collection. Looking at the
definition of 'To perform or display a work ³publicly²¹ below, I believe
that this use falls outside of a public performance:

http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html

What I don¹t know is how all of this applies to monkeys.  Is a screening
for one monkey or a "normal social circle of a family² of monkeys
considered displaying publicly?  Joking?

Laura

Re: [Videolib] Film about Syrian refugees

[Laura Jenemann]

Re: The Light in her Eyes.  I remember watching this in 2012 for VRT's Notable 
Videos for Adults.   It's on the 2013 list here:

http://www.ala.org/vrt/notablevideos/notables2013

The film is about a community of women learning to read the Koran and shows a 
vibrant intellectual Syria.  As I recall, the Syrian refugee crisis is not so 
much a theme of this film, but when I reflect on what a hopeful attitude is 
portrayed in the film, I am filled with nostalgia and sadness at what has been 
lost.  In that regard, The Light in Her Eyes might make an excellent film for 
showing what Syria has been and for developing an awareness of the current 
situation there.
Another film that might work, though it's not about Syrian refugees, is Journey 
of Hope.  It is fictional and won the 1990 Academy Award for Best Foreign 
Language Film.  While the family is from Turkey, their journey from Turkey to 
Europe is similar to the one we hear about every day on the news about Syrian 
refugees.  You see step-by-step what the journey involves.  Recommendation for 
screening budget: have a line item for tissues.

[Videolib] Carding public screening attendees

[Laura Jenemann]

Dear videolib,

Do any of you have experience carding your attendees at public screenings?

In other words, let's say you have PPR for a film.  The license states that 
only institution members, ie, members of your university, can attend screenings 
of the DVD you paid for.

So, you want to have a screening outside of the classroom, but all attendees 
must show a university ID.

If you have encountered this situation, can you please contact me offlist?  I 
have not confronted this situation, but would like to know how others have 
managed this.

Thank you very much.

Subject: [Videolib] Looking for Rights to reuse photographs from the film "The 
Million Eyes of Sumuru" (1967)

Hello,

I have a doozy of a request.

I have a scholar from Russia who is trying to track down permission to reuse 
images from the film "The Million Eyes of Sumuru," (1967).

He is also interested to find archival resources as well.

I've checked the imdb.com database, but I was unable to find a link to the 
original production company.

Worldcat lists UCLA Film & Television Archives as owning a film print.  
However, when I visited the UCLAF website and searched their catalog, this 
title did not appear.

Any help is greatly appreciated about where a person might find the rights to 
reuse images from this film, as well as which archive, if any, has film 
memorabilia, etc.

I honestly would be very, very disappointed if DVDs were discontinued by 
Icarus!  I know that, as a small residential college, we are different than big 
universities and/or those with lots of distance ed and online courses.  Still, 
I also know that we are not unique and that there are many small schools out 
there purchasing film in physical format.  I definitely still attempt to build 
a collection, not just acquire access.

Randal alluded to the budget thing, and I’ll just say, “Yes!”  For me, it still 
makes most sense to use our limited dollars to purchase DVDs, rather than 
arrange for streaming.  Yes, docs can be pricey in DVD format, too, but having 
them available for years and years as opposed to 1-year or 3-year licenses 
matters.  And DVD is DEFINITELY preferred to short-term licensing of an 
individual title.  That screams “rental” to me, and that’s just not something 
our budget can support.  Sarah mentioned buying feature films in DVD format, 
and it’s true that the difference is more marked there, where the DVD only 
costs $25.  So “bang for your buck” is absolutely more apparent in the feature 
film realm, but it still holds on the doc and educational side for us, too.

Please don’t stop! ☺

For me, the only equivalent for a DVD purchase is a streaming video with 
in-perpetuity rights that we can host locally. We have many VHS tapes and DVDs 
from companies like Carousel, Films Inc., and LAVA that have gone out of 
business - but we can still use their titles because we own a tangible version. 
That wouldn't be the case if the only option was to license a streaming version 
hosted by the distributor.
I understand that this is the direction the studios are headed because the 
average person has adapted to using Netflix, iTunes. etc. but teaching needs 
are different and specialized documentaries (or features) that are perfect for 
a given class may be used regularly long after a distributor has gone out of 
business. It's just the way that classes get taught. Some professors figure out 
a lesson plan and more or less set it on autopilot for a couple decades.  So my 
hope was that independent educational distributors would be at the tail end of 
the DVD weaning process.

Dear Videolib friends

As many of you know Icarus Films has been helping to build, and currently has 
over 300 titles on, Docuseek2, to provide colleges and universities streaming 
access to our collection over the internet.

Yes, we continue to invest in producing and releasing DVDs of the same titles. 
And, as streaming usage increases, selling fewer and fewer of them.

It is making me wonder if we should stop selling DVDs altogether, not producing 
them at all for new films, and not ordering any more once we sell the last one 
of an older one.

What do you think would happen if we did that?

How many of you would definitely NOT buy or use a film that a professor or 
collection development librarian wanted to have, if it was ONLY available via 
streaming?

I’m serious in asking this question, I think it may be time to take a (perhaps) 
drastic step, and not another small incremental one.  What do you think?  
Thanks!

[Videolib] Are you the Perpetual and/or PPR university wide point person?

[Laura Jenemann]

Dear Videolib,

Two questions, perhaps related, for the librarians/library staff on the list.  
Definitely reply off list if you feel that's the best way to address:


1)  Have you ever done an assessment of your entire college/university's 
entire annual purchases with a vendor?  For example, if your student cinema and 
film club purchases PPR one-off screenings from Vendor ABC, you or your 
colleagues purchase DVDs from Vendor ABC, and you or colleagues purchase 
streaming from Vendor ABC?

2)  How did you then use that information?  For example, as a negotiating 
tactic for perpetual rights?  Or for aggregating all of the licensing from 
Vendor ABC through one entity at your university?

If you have done this, or are the perpetual rights negotiator, I would love to 
hear from you.  And I mean that literally, too: please free to call me.

One factor that I haven't yet seen in this discussion is the continued 
existence of the digital divide.

Working at an institution that has a high population of first generation 
college students, I'm well aware that our patrons don't always have robust 
enough home internet to watch streaming videos.  For this reason, and also 
because we've run into occasional issues with classroom computer firewalls not 
allowing the use of a stream, I typically try to buy the DVD of any title I 
license for streaming.
A print-on-demand option, if available, would help to lessen these concerns.

[Videolib] Grassroots collaboration Was RE: Copyright question: American Playhouse Films

[Laura Jenemann]

Hi everyone,

I’m late to the conversation and have not read this whole thread, but I want to 
offer up something that I tried to get started as Chair of the Video Round 
Table last year:  getting filmmakers, distributors, and academic media users 
all in one room.

lorraine wochna curated a great program related to this theme at ALA San 
Francisco:

“PPR: Promoting and Programming in Academic Libraries”
More details here: http://alaac15.ala.org/node/28941

As the title implies, there was discussion of PPR here, but there was also 
discussion of the relationship building between educational users 
(non-individual, non-theatrical) and filmmakers.

This is what I would love to see in events that some of us attend like ALA, or 
the National Media Market.  Are there ways that we can make the process easier 
for us to get great content, often underrepresented perspectives in other

Subject: Re: [Videolib] Copyright question: American Playhouse Films

I want to thank Dennis for ably covering this while I have been dealing with a 
few ongoing crisis.
I assumed it was plain that I meant a case where the USE of entire work of 
length had been deemed fair use. As Dennis pointed out the Google Books 
decision makes it very clear that only small portions of works are in fact 
allowed to be accessible. Also there are without doubt instances where an 
entire very short work from an image to a 4 line poem to a one minute film ( 
These are for example, there would be many others ) could pass the test but as 
always each case is decided individually.
One very interesting thing is how no one at least in the academic community 
mentions the OTHER parts of the Google Books and GSU cases the ladder of which 
is directly on point to the issue of fair use being used to claim that an 
academic institution can use a entire work of length.
In fact GSU WAS scanning and posting entire books and articles before they were 
sued in 2008
They immediately removed the entire works and instituted a new policy which 
restricted material to portions. As they were a state school, the publishers 
could not sue for past damages and so that issue was dropped at GSU's request. 
The publishers in fact urged the judge to let it be litigated but GSU fought it 
and has above they had sovereign immunity it was removed from the case. I am 
not sure how clearer it could be that you can't use an entire work than this.
In the Google books case there was another major issue involving Google 
Hathitrust attempt to allow access to entire orphan works. With great fanfare 
they announced they would post whole books whose rights holder could not be 
found and a few days before their first posting they released the titles of the 
first small group  orphan works. Within 48 hours the Authors Guild had 
located the rights holders of the majority of the titles and it ended in a 
fiasco. While orphan works are a huge issue in film in particular this shows 
that a company with massive resources of google ( not to mention their library 
partners who presumable had a lot of research skills) did not do a remotely 
thorough job to locate rights holders.
Like Dennis I am  disappointed that instead of working with filmmakers, 
distributors and rights holders to
get streaming access for academic use ( and to be blunt compensate the people 
who made  these works) there seems to be an increasing movement to find ways to 
just claim no rights are needed.
As Dennis can tell you better than me in addition to cheating filmmakers of 
revenue it makes it nearly impossible to preserve and remaster films which are 
in desperate need of both.
I find some people  dancing around the issue a lot, picking up a sentence here 
or there but the bottom line is either you are claiming you can digitize and 
stream an entire film for a class without paying the right holder or you 
aren't. Not really a grey area.
Now back to my crisis of which thankfully the Cubs are not included.

Thanks, Laura, that is a good suggestion.

Does anyone remember the Digital Video Summit a few of us put together in New 
York back in Spring of 2010? We followed it up with a similar type event that 
Fall at National Media Market.

I felt that there were lasting positive outcomes from those events, and now, 5 
years and many developments later, perhaps we should revisit the “state of the 
union.”

It is important, I think, for those of us on this list, distributors and 
librarians included, to continue to build relationships of trust. Most 
librarians that I know are striving (yes, through in-depth research and 
creative financing) to *not* rip off any 
rightsholders/filmmakers/distributors/etc. Most librarians I know are eager to 
comply with copyright law (while still exercising fair use, 108, and 110(2) 
rights), and to give credit where credit is due, and to pay a fair price for 
content.

Sure there are “outliers.” I’m not trying to say that no college/university has 
ever streamed a film in its entirety without seeking permission. Some 
institutions have adopted what I would call “riskier” policies for provision of 
audiovisual content through streaming. If those institutions have worked with 
their Legal counsel and feel comfortable with their policies, that’s really 
their business. It’s not how we do things at my institution, where we are in 
general pretty risk-averse.

So maybe we do need another summit, just to bring people together and let it be 
recognized that many of us are on the same wavelength, with similar goals of 
creating or providing excellent audiovisual content to our customers or 
constituents. This could also be a good forum for librarians to communicate to 
distributors about *how* we prefer to access and acquire content (EBA, PDA, 
licensing, purchase, subscription, etc.).

I am on the board of National Media Market. We have set our schedule and 
professional development sessions now for Fall 2015, but I wonder if attendees 
and Exhibiting Partners would want to give up a couple of hours of the 
Exhibitor walk-in sessions we enjoy at that conference, one morning or 
afternoon, for a Digital Video Summit 2.0?

Respond on list or off, and I will coordinate your responses and see if there 
is enough interest to make this happen.

Yours in solidarity,
Sarah @ Hofstra

Hi everyone,

I’m late to the conversation and have not read this whole thread, but I want to 
offer up something that I tried to get started as Chair of the Video Round 
Table last year:  getting filmmakers, distributors, and academic media users 
all in one room.

lorraine wochna curated a great program related to this theme at ALA San 
Francisco:

“PPR: Promoting and Programming in Academic Libraries”
More details here: http://alaac15.ala.org/node/28941

As the title implies, there was discussion of PPR here, but there was also 
discussion of the relationship building between educational users 
(non-individual, non-theatrical) and filmmakers.

This is what I would love to see in events that some of us attend like ALA, or 
the National Media Market.  Are there ways that we can make the process easier 
for us to get great content, often underrepresented perspectives in other 
media, to our users?  When, in trying to do the right thing, library staff are 
spending their days calling celebrities’ agents, digging for producers, and 
playing “hot potato” from distributor-to-distributor and coast-to-coast, that 
might indicate that we might need to rethink how we get getting streaming films

I did want to ask a related question that may help Anna: has anyone

Subject: [Videolib] Library policy on buying institutional video copies

Our library is currently re-writing its policy on buying institutional video.  
Under the guidance of our copyright specialist who says that classroom 
screenings fall under fair-use and do not require PPR (which are included in 
most institutional prices), our new policy is to buy the home-use copy of the 
DVD, if available, and not the institutional copy. Of course if a video will be 
screened outside a class, say at a film festival, we will upgrade to a PPR.
At least one distributor has balked at this policy; another actually suggested 
we purchase at the home-use price when I mentioned I couldn't afford to buy all 
the videos I wanted from his company at the institutional price.
Legally this seems sound, but I'm still unsure about ethically. Do other 
libraries have a policy on this spelled out? Do you always buy the 
institutional price/PPR if available, or do you try to source the video at the 
lowest possible price? If you do buy the institutional copy is it because you 
feel you *should* or another reason?
Thanks for sharing.

Re: [Videolib] policies/procedures for meeting media teaching/learning needs at satellite campuses?

Hi Maureen and list,

We have a robust intercampus loan system here at Mason between our 3 campuses.  
I don't think it takes more than 2 days for an item to get from one campus to 
another.  So faculty can request the item.  

Also, second copies of high use items for another campus are purchased.

Is this the kind info you were looking for, Maureen?

Hi Jennifer,

The rights and obligations available under 17 USC §108 extend only to 
library/archive-owned copies of works, and thus do not provide any protection 
or guidance to your patron, even though what they want to do is arguably 
analogous to the kind of uses a library or archive is entitled to engage in 
under § 108. § 108(f)(1) does, however, excuse your library from liability for 
the the unsupervised use of reproducing equipment located on [your] premises 
provided such equipment displays a notice that the making of a copy may be 
subject to the copyright law. Departments I've worked for in the past have 
interpreted this to mean that as long as you post a copyright notice on your 
converter, you can allow your patron to use it for whatever fair use (this 
would presumably be the grounds on which they'd argue that their reproduction 
is allowable-I'm not aware of any other exemptions which cover this kind of 
activity) they want.

Not being a lawyer, I have always refrained from offering counsel as to what 
may or may not constitute a fair use-in situations like this I generally point 
the person to the text  of 17 USC § 
107https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/107,  the Center for Media  
Social Impact's Codes of Best Practices in Fair 
Usehttp://www.cmsimpact.org/fair-use/best-practices, and advise them to 
contact an IP lawyer if they have additional questions or want to be sure that 
what they're doing is okay.

Hope that helps!

Hello,
I've searched the archives and have not found this exact scenario discussed..

My library has a VHS to DVD converter machine. I understand what we as a 
library are allowed to do under section 108 with tapes we own and store on 
site. But what about when faculty approach us and want to convert a VHS tape 
that they personally own, and that is unavailable for purchase in another 
format?  In other words, I have a faculty member who owns a deteriorating VHS 
tape. It is unavailable to purchase as streaming or DVD, and we have been 
unable to contact the rights holder. Can we allow this instructor to make their 
own personal DVD copy of that VHS tape using our converter? What laws do or 
don't apply since we are not doing this as a library nor would the media be 
stored here?

If this is allowable, do any of you make your DVD to VHS converters available 
to others outside of the library? (Faculty, etc) If so, do you post a copyright 
warning or have them sign a form stating that there are no formats available?

Re: [Videolib] Peer review?

[Laura Jenemann]

Hi Jo Ann and list,

Three comments to toss into an excellent topic Jo Ann has brought to us:


1)  Some of these issues are discussed in the film Capturing Reality: the 
Art of Documentary.  Herzog says in the film: If you want to have facts, go 
and buy yourself the phone directory of Manhattan: you've got eight million 
entries and they're all correct.


2)  When working on the production/broadcasting side, I saw doc. scripts 
with footnotes and references.



3)  Some of the historical presentations in fictional films may be more 
accurate than recreations in so-called non-fiction films, or even 
journalistic pieces.  We probably can only learn about these fictional film 
accuracies through secondary sources like articles or DVD extras, not through 
the fiction films themselves, just as we might learn about the inaccuracies not 
through the doc film, but through secondary sources.


Looking forward to hearing more.  What an impressive post, Jo Ann!

Subject: [Videolib] Peer review?

I guess it's a thoughtful Monday. Hoping to hear a lot of thoughts from all 
different players.

With the increased use of videos in the classroom, I've been thinking about the 
vetting process for non-feature films. Feature films are often used to 
illustrate a point and we know they are not real so I am not including them in 
this discussion. Documentaries are assumed to be real, may also used to make 
a particular point, bring an issue to life, or they may substitute for academic 
readings and possibly lectures.

The books and journals placed on reserve or used for classes are, for the most 
part, subject to the academy's peer review. Many (most?) of the films we use 
are not made by members of the academy.  What sort of vetting process do they 
go through? Film reviews don't really serve the same purpose as peer reviews.

If a picture is worth a thousand words than a video is worth several million, 
at least. Should we be paying more attention to Marshall McLuhan's idea that 
the medium is the message?  When faculty or students view a documentary, 
Masterman (2010) might say that we are studying the representation of the 
subject in the documentary and not the subject content. The central unifying 
concept of Media Education is that of representation. The media mediate. They 
do not reflect but re-present the world. The media, that is, are symbolic sign 
systems that must be decoded. Without this principle, no media education is 
possible. From it, all else flows.  (Masterman 1989). (For this and other 
discussion see Jolls  Wison, (2014) The Core Concepts: Fundamental to Media 
Literacy Education Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Journal of Media Literacy 
Education, 6(2) 68-78.)


* Who determines the nuances of the story that gets told through film?

* What is the relationship of the producer/director/writer to the 
content of the film?

* How do we know if it's the truth or the truth as one or a small group 
of people see it?

* Does it matter if the other side of the story is not presented. What 
if there is no film for the other side and only scholarly reading is presented 
for that?

* What is the effect on student learning/perception/retention of an 
issue explored on film vs. reading a scholarly work on the same issue?

* What are we reacting to when we say this or that documentary is good?

o   Is it how good the account is, how well the accounting is told, or how 
accurately the accounting is told?

* Should there be more context/explanation for who is behind the

For example: 500 note: This was transferred from Xxx on September 8, 2012.

Are there reasons for or against making these public catalog notes?  
Suppressing for internal use?

Thank you for any responses you can share!

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for this suggestion on Oppo and on the multi-region conversion.

I may have more on this in the future.

Laura,

By far the best and sturdiest is the Oppo. Now, since Oppo doesn't (or can't) 
officially support multi-region, you would need to get it from one of their 
wholesalers who converts it for you to multi-region.

Rhonda and all,

Deg and Jo Ann’s process is similar to the one that I am researching at GMU now.

As part of the research process, I have compiled different 500 notes for 
expressing Sec. 108 conversion.  If anyone is interested in this list, let me 
know.

Additionally, compiling a public site on ALA Connect about our best practices 
on Sec. 108 is a project that I have been hoping to start up.  It would be 
simple: just needs someone to do the data entry and create the links.

If anyone is interested in developing a Sec. 108 best practices links list, 
please contact me so we can discuss!

Rhonda: I will email you separately with more information.

Greetings Media Librarians,

Have you seen an exceptional recent nonfiction DVD release that you'd like to 
share?  If so, please let us know!

The deadline for submission of nominees for the 2015 ALA Notable Videos for 
Adults list is December 1st, 2014.

Each year a committee comprised of VRT members selects the best fifteen 
nonfiction, educational, performance or how-to titles released during the 
previous and current calendar years. The committee makes its selections during 
the ALA Midwinter Meeting and the list is published in Booklist.
If you are a librarian and not affiliated with a video producer or distributor,

[Videolib] VHS equipment obsolescence

[Laura Jenemann]

Hi Videolib,

I would like to revisit a discussion that recurs on this list regarding 
obsolescence of VHS equipment.

Is VHS equipment obsolete?

Guideline 2 of the Video at 
Riskhttp://www.nyu.edu/tisch/preservation/research/video-risk/VideoAtRisk_SECTION108_Guidelines_2013.pdf
 report (p.8) discusses this, but I would appreciate additional feedback.

Thank you very much.

Re: [Videolib] VHS equipment obsolescence

[Laura Jenemann]

Thanks for the posting, Elena.  I hope that there is someone who can provide 
the experience of VHS viewing in the future.

Yet there are some who would say that the VHS deck and soon, the optical disc 
drive, is already obsolete or so near obsolescence that the playback should not 
be supported in a non-archival context.

At the same time, Video at Risk 
http://www.nyu.edu/tisch/preservation/research/video-risk/VideoAtRisk_SECTION108_Guidelines_2013.pdf
 (pp. 8-9) notes that:

“so long as new, reasonable high quality consumer grade DVD/VHS players are 
still advertised for sale in the commercial marketplace at a reasonable cost, 
108 (c)’s definition of ‘obsolete’ likely will not extend to VHS.”

Should the consideration of VHS equipment as “obsolete” be made on a 
case-by-case basis, then?

Laura

Subject: Re: [Videolib] VHS equipment obsolescence

I would first ask how obsolescence is being defined.  Does it still work?  Is 
the content and the performance still relevant/applicable?  It's safe to say 
that VHS is no longer the market standard (duh), but there are titles on VHS 
that never were (and, in the case of Kevin Brownlow's Hollywood: A Celebration 
of the American Silent Film never could be because of copyright) transferred to 
DVD.  And then there are the nuances of the VHS version- not all titles 
across different formats are created equal.  The current DVD of The Grinch Who 
Stole Christmas has been remastered with a totally different color palette and 
Disney on digital formats is practically a different species from the straight 
film--tape transfers they did for VHS release (artist's sketch lines on the 
original cell animation have been digitally removed).  Format does not define 
quality and merit and I still rely on VHS in the classroom [at Pratt]. So as 
long as we need and desire to access the content (and, for some, the 
experience) of VHS, the equipment will never become obsolete.

[Videolib] Example forms: reasonable searches for VHS

[Laura Jenemann]

Dear Videolibbers,

Does anyone know of good example forms that document their reasonable searches 
for VHS rights holders?
Does anyone have recommendations for how they link to or store this metadata?  
For example, as a suppressed part of a catalog record or perhaps a separate 
doc. in an institutional repository or ERMS?

Perhaps VRT can create a webpage of these examples should they be offered and 
of use to its members.

tool for the Office of Government Relations.
Representatives to the Legislation Assembly should:
* Keep abreast of developments on the legislative front through the 
District Dispatch;
* Participate in conference calls and webinars about legislative 
actions and issues;
* Attend Legislation Assembly meetings at conferences (or find a 
substitute, if necessary);
* Consult with unit members about issues;
* Become a legislative resource and advocate for unit members;

[Videolib] just download it anyways article

[Laura Jenemann]

Dear videolib,

A recent post from Kevin Smith (Duke's Scholarly Communication Officer) on 
digital-only music, and what libraries might or might not do about it:
http://blogs.library.duke.edu/scholcomm/2014/07/28/planning-for-musical-obsolescence/

Here are some comments that may resonate with media librarians:

At a recent consultation to discuss this problem, it was interesting to note 
that several of the lawyers in the room encouraged the librarians to just 
download the music anyway and ignore the licensing terms, simply treating this 
piece of music like any other library acquisition.  Their argument was that 
iTunes and the LA Philharmonic really do not mean to prevent library 
acquisitions; they are just using a boilerplate license without full awareness 
of the impact of its terms.  But the librarians were unwilling.

Subject: [Videolib] Dance In Video from Alexander Street

Hello all-
I am hoping to take advantage of group knowledge to solve a problem we are 
having with our Dance in Video database.  We have only recently subscribed this 
database and it is our only Alexander Street resource.
Pretty early on I had faculty complaints about streaming quality.  When I 
tested I noticed significant issues with framing dropping (lots of skipping) 
and almost every time I tested sooner or later it would switch to a loading 
screen where it hangs for anywhere from 3-5 minutes.  Occasionally playback 
never resumes.
We've tested on a variety of systems (Mac, PC, Linux) and browsers both on and 
off campus. All with very similar results.   Speed tests from ASP indicate that 
we do not have a bandwidth problem nor do we have an issue with streaming 
databases from other vendors.  Our campus IT department says they do not 
throttle streaming content and do not think the issue lies with them. ASP 
technical service has been responsive but we are stuck in the we cannot 
replicate your problem loop.
So on the off chance that others have experienced this issue and have found a 
solution, I decided to throw this out to the group.  I am open to ideas and 
would just really love to getting this working for us.
Feel free to reply off list and thank you!

[Videolib] Database for orphan-y videos

[Laura Jenemann]

Hi,

I was just thinking about the amount of time that we as individual 
librarians/researchers may be spending tracking down rights holders for VHS 
tapes (and laserdiscs).  I was wondering how many people are taking the same 
steps, contacting the same people, getting the same non-responses.  I knew my 
life had changed when I was leaving a voicemail for someone's agent.

Beyond videolib, is there a resource or a list that documents expired rights?  
I'm guessing this would be too exhaustive, but on the other hand, there are 
things like Frontline titles that are beloved teaching resources but always 
going out of print.  Frontline alone coud be an interesting case study.

Might help as librarians try to implement Section 108, or perhaps I'm just 
thinking aloud too much.

Re: [Videolib] library instruction

[Laura Jenemann]

Great question, Maureen!  I want to know this too.

I have taught media specific classes in the past.  A class I've taught a couple 
of times and will teach again soon is on using streaming media for your 
distance education class, for faculty and staff.  I co-teach this with the 
Distance Education Librarian.  We cover where to find resources, accessibility, 
putting URLs behind the course management system, etc.  I suspect that this 
class could grow as our DE program grows.

I also do the occasional visit drop-in to faculty meetings, as well as the 
non-media teaching for my liaison librarian roles.

Our University's media lab is not part of the libraries but they offer many 
classes.  I can send you URLs to that if you're interested.

Best wishes,

Laura

[Videolib] Librarian as copyright cop Was: Question for academic librarians re DVD screenings

[Laura Jenemann]

Debbie's question leads me to think about the larger issue of librarian as 
copyright cop.   

I have two questions related to this:

How do public and school librarians manage the use of library media in their 
media labs?  
I suspect that these librarians are not sitting over every user's shoulder 
asking, Are you following the factors of fair use?  So I'd like to hear how 
they work with these issues.

And how do academic librarians with distance education programs try to educate 
users on copyright?  
I suspect that they are not policing course management software for un-fair 
use of library material.   

Hope some videolibbers can share some real world examples addressing these 
complicated topics.

I would send the prof a respectful note, letting them know that there are

offer to help clear the rights for their screening. I think that it is my duty 
as the overall manager of the media collection to inform our users about rights

I don't think saying nothing is the appropriate way to deal with this

Re: [Videolib] streaming internationally

[Laura Jenemann]

Hi Rhonda,

Great question!

Does your library have the students access the film via the libraries website 
or the Course Management System?  In other words, the students have to 
authenticate through your university site?

I haven't had heard of any problems with Distance Education students here or at 
other colleges accessing films this way, but that doesn't mean there haven't 
been problems.

Let me/us know so we can keep researching this.  It is going to be an issue in 
distance education.

Have you contacted the rights holder/distributor to see if they can do a 
license for a semester or whatever length you need? I would think most would be 
flexible.  Or do you mean that the film is only sold with PPR rights and NOT 
streaming rights? 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. I know this has been 
my personal crusade but I still caution when buying fiction feature films with 
lifetime rights from anyone other than the filmmaker or production company as I 
know of no company willing to license these for lifetime streaming.

Re: [Videolib] streaming and common sense

[Laura Jenemann]

Hi Nahum and all,

Nahum asked  has anyone ever purchased only streaming rights?  I suspect 
that this is the model that libraries are all going to go in the sunset of 
analog media use.

So the related topic of PPR in the streaming only age is also one that 
libraries are confronting.

I believe that AIME v. UCLA  touched on the topic of PPR for streaming media.  
There are probably other cases that relate to this issue that others can point 
out.

can be found here:

Hi Jessica
I didn't get an answer for my query
Its not a question what is legal or what are the rules in USA, but one of 
Common sense if I understood Laura's query is that what happens if  your 
professor wants, only to stream a film? Without a copy in the library ?
 And then stream it in face to face (Library use) or in a seminar  for guests 
(PPR) so in the case of a university/college the streaming  fee should  include 
PPR In case of a university library purchasing only streaming rights, who is 
going to use the film? Not the university public?
 During the Year 2013 I sold to 80 Academic libraries including 60 in North 
America the film One Day After Peace all except one purchased PPR,
3 asked and received streaming rights for an extra $100, any library that has 
the film and will want to get streaming rights I'll ask for only $100.
I would like to hear the opinion of librarians  other distributers if I'm 
right,  has anyone ever purchased only streaming rights?

Also to clarify you do not need PPR for a library to own/ circulate a copy.
Now if you do not sell your films retail it is a moot point but librarians are 
understandably sensitive on this issue.

 The face to face  exemption is very specific to use in a physical 
 classroom as part of specific class and limited to students enrolled 
 in that class You DO need PPR rights if you want to show a film to an 
 open audience on campus, in a library etc.

 PPR rights are totally separate from Streaming Rights which allow an 
 institution to either directly stream on their own system or access 
 the streaming of distributor. Obviously different distributors, 
 filmmakers, rights holders own and offer different rights for

You might want to hold onto a few of those VHS tapes in case you want some for 
disaster preparedness training.  Our disaster preparedness training exercises 
at Mason Libraries includes as many different media formats as we can obtain.

Regards,

Hello All,

I recently stepped in as media librarian at Fairfield University and one of the 
big items at the top of the to-do list is to weed and discard the VHS 
collection. I have been researching options for recycling VHS and have not come 
up with too much. These are the two places I've located which recycle VHS:

GreenDiskhttp://www.greendisk.com/ (recycling service, we'd have to pay for 
the service AND the shipping)

ACT (Alternative Community Training) 
Serviceshttp://www.actservices.org/donations/how-to-donate (accepts donations 
of VHS, but still costly because we'd have to ship it all to Missouri)

Does anyone know of other options? I did check the Videolib archives, but the 
most recent posts I could find were from 2009.  I also welcome any general 
advice on recycling or discarding hundreds of VHS!

Re: [Videolib] BBC's Changing Stages on DVD?

[Laura Jenemann]

Hi Jeremy and all,

Expired rights is a major issue for us video librarians, one of the major 
issues for me.  I feel that this comes up even more so with performing arts 
related videos, though perhaps it's just because I am a liaison librarian to 
these populations in my current position.

What do you recommend, from a vendor's perspective,  us librarians do to 
preserve and make this material accessible?You may not believe it, but some 
of the performing VHS are extremely valuable pedagogical tools even 20 years 
after the fact!  I have a quiet little blogpost on the Dancing series as an 
example to how much these materials matter.  It's here:

http://mediaservices.gmu.edu/?p=896

While libraries in the U.S. can explore copyright law for solutions to preserve 
material, I wonder if there is something we can do more concretely to put a 
cost figure on extremely costly.

Let me know if you have any constructive thoughts, because maybe there is some 
small idea we can put our heads together on.

Best wishes,

Laura

Thanks for sharing, Deg.  I hope to attend!

You mention that this is More evidence that the role of the media librarian is 
being assumed by acquisitions...

This brings up a great topic: professional development! 

If the traditional role of the media librarian is being assumed by 
acquisitions, then what type of professional development do you recommend for 
current media librarians who will need to transform themselves?

Sharing this question on list because in case your response will benefit 
others, but feel free to respond off list.  

Thank you for any advice you can offer!

[Videolib] ALA report on Ebook Business Models for Public Libraries

Hi videolibbers,

Our listserv has been discussing streaming media business models lately.  In 
light of this discussion, I've been thinking about this quote:

All ebook titles available for sale to the public should also be available to 
libraries for lending.

From Ebook Business Models for Public Libraries: a Report From the American 
Library Association. August 8, 2012.

PDF available here: 
http://www.americanlibrariesmagazine.org/sites/americanlibrariesmagazine.org/files/content/EbookBusinessModelsPublicLibs_ALA.pdf

The background is here: 
http://www.americanlibrariesmagazine.org/blog/ala-releases-%E2%80%9Cebook-business-models-public-libraries%E2%80%9D

This quote, as well as the document, might provide food-for-thought when 
contemplating streaming media business models.  Even in academic libraries.

Plus, the document is only 6 pages!

Re: [Videolib] Patron Driven Acquisition for Streaming Video

Deg - Thanks for sharing your experience!  It is interesting that the AULC 
pilot resulted in the demise of the only PDA model for streaming video.  Are 
you able to or interested in sharing why, especially since it sounds like ASP 
is doing the same?

I know that some of the PDA models require an upfront price before the PDA 
begins.  

1) Do you, or anyone else on the list, know if upfront costs are common with 
PDA models? 
2) And does Hoopla have a flat price to start the service first, before the 
pay-per-view begins?

Thanks so much for everyone's sharing information on these business models.

Subject: [Videolib] Patron Driven Acquisition for Streaming Video

In response to Laura's questionŠ

Until very recently there have not been PDA models for streaming video in the 
US.  FMG's Films on Demand piloted a PDA model with the Arizona University 
Libraries Consortium (AULC) in 2008.  At the time there were no subscription 
models for streaming video, only the shopping cart approach of individual 
title selection and purchase.

The FMG/AULC pilot resulted in the development of Films on Demand, and the 
demise (to the best of my knowledge) of the only PDA model for streaming video.

Now two other companies are beginning to provide PDA models for streaming video.

Alexander Street Press is rolling out a model.  Currently running in Scotland 
as an evidence based acquisition model.

And Kanopy, an Australian company, where PDA has been a very successful model, 
has entered the US market.  They will be one of the exhibitors at the National 
Media Market in November (see links in my signature)

streaming Fee. We have at least 700 people per year watching that film at least 
once, so $0.50 per view.

On the other hand we own sweetgrass,  which i bought for both aesthetic and 
sociological reasons, at about the same price, and we have maybe 6 viewings per 
year. what is that, $50+ per view per year?

maybe somewhere there is a better balance overall from a collection point of 
view .

That's all, i have no real answer, but i think some of the pay per class rent 
when you need it schemes might work.

The one thing that does concern me is the Neo-liberal everyone pays their own 
way concept that seems to be behind some of this. Yet another fee added to 
student course costs, etc.

Cheers, Randal Baier

Re: [Videolib] captured news video on vhs: worth transferring to dvd?

[Laura Jenemann]

This collection of Maureen's reminds me of older media monitoring 
services, like VMS and AIS.  They had pretty extensive collections of 
television from different markets and some of them dated back a ways.  I 
always wondered what happened to the collections once VMS went out of 
business, which I think it did in 2011.

Best wishes,

Laura

 Reminder.  U.S. Copyright law section 108 f 3 relates to library
 recording, archiving and lending news broadcasts.  Permissions are not
 necessary for hard and live news; news programs and specials are a
 different matter.

 The main issue may be whether retention and conversion of these
 recordings at your library is necessary for access.  What is duplicated
 within reliable archives?  How much of your news archive is local news?
   That may be the area where you should put your efforts.

 Besides the unreliable YouTube, there are the commercial news archives
 (NBC, Vanderbilit, CSpan) as well as the TVNews within the Internet
 Archive.

 You may be able to contribute some of those recordings to the Internet
 Archive

 I think you need more information to give an informed answer. Are
 you talking about random newscasts taped off air that you now want
 to transfer to digital? This would be highly problematic for many
 reasons. Are you talking about news programming that you purchased
 on VHS that is not available on DVD.

 Everyone is assuming this material is not available digitally from
 the rights holder but again I would need more information on the
 nature of the material to give an informed answer.  I think the
 biggest problem overall is that almost no one ever mentions that due
 diligence would require you to check with the rights holder. They
 may say no, they may quote a price you think insanely high or they
 might say go ahead but unless you actually ask the rights holder (
 and it sounds like you know who they are) you are going to be on
 thin ice legally.

 I would question the legality and possible copyright
 infringement on maintaining videos recorded off of television,
 even if they were kept in-house and not circulated outside of
 the Library. I know from dealing with PBS in the past, that they
 have a time-limit on the length of time you may retain a
 recorded program from their station for educational use, unless
 they held all of the copyright for the program. I would suspect
 that stations such as NBC, CBS, etc. would not be amendable to
 these titles being taped and retained for public consumption.

 Just my two cents...

  From about 1981 to 2001 my media department routinely
 recorded news off-air—not regular broadcasts, but coverage
 of events like inaugurations, presidential debates,
 Democratic and Republican national conventions, state of the
 union addresses, as well as special events we considered
 newsworthy, like Saddam Hussein and Dan Rather, and Nixon on
 Meet the Press.

 These recordings are on VHS.  A lot of this material, like
 coverage of 9/11, is on youtube.  I wonder, though, if it is
 worth transferring our vhs material to dvd?  Might stuff on
 youtube go away at some point? 

 I also wonder about the ethics of doing this.  We would keep
 these DVDs for inhouse viewing only.

 I’d really appreciate your thoughts—
