[Videolib] changes
Fellow Videolibbers: I've decided to leave the working world and become a retired person. Although I'm a media librarian in my soul, it's time to spend more time pursuing my other interests like gardening, music, dancing, films, travel and just having fun. I'll miss the comraderie of Video Round Table and National Media Market, but it's time to move over for younger folks. My last work day is May 15th, and then off to Greece for a holiday.

Re: [Videolib] Alexander Street Press
Bearing in mind that there are reps from Alexander Street on this listserv, I wish them only the best. They are the company who came out with post-secondary and professional level content, and recognize that manuscripts, journals and other accompanying material may be a good combination along with video. The quality, however, is dependent on the collection. I can't vouch for the Art and Architecture collection, but I've seen that the original production company might be the cause of poor quality. We have the VAST, which is a collection from various collections. I wouldn't expect that historical video producers, like DER, and older content from Filmakers' Library or even Davidson would have high quality content, when the source was from the 80's or 90's. However, in some cases, we've looked at 2012 videos (Filmakers Library: Blood in the Congo) and the quality was so poor, compared to the DVD, which we previewed first, that I actually registered a complaint with Customer service. I believe that program was re-digitized, as it seems somewhat improved now, but overall, the quality of videostreaming lags behind that of DVD. I don't think things will get better until somebody figures out a better video compression method. If high quality is what you're after, I would not recommend streaming as a format, no matter which company you were considering. For students in our classes, the streaming quality is not a major concern, so we compromise, accepted the lower quality, and live with it. Best, Susan - Original Message - From: Johanna Bauman jbaum...@pratt.edu Date: Friday, April 4, 2014 1:45 pm Subject: [Videolib] Alexander Street Press To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Hello all, Our library is currently looking at Alexander Street Press as a solution for providing streaming video content to our patrons. We started by previewingthe art and architecture collection and were very pleased with the content. Comparing the quality of the video to something like Netflix or HBO Go,however, it doesn't seem to be quite as good. We are concerned in the library that this is the kind of quality our patrons will be expecting,especially since we serve a community of artists and filmmakers who might be a bit less forgiving than others when it comes to image quality. Has anyone had experience with providing this collection and getting negative feedback about the quality from patrons? Am I expecting too much from an academic streaming service? Any thoughts the group might have would be most appreciated.

Re: [Videolib] cataloging 500 note for VHS prez copy
Laura: We use 533 for the note.

Re: [Videolib] library instruction
Maureen: I'm technically in the Public Services group. All librarians have subject liaison areas. We therefore all do research-type instruction with our liaison areas. As the media librarian, I do media selection for all subject areas, but as the public services librarian, I have 4 departments that I do the liaison with, and that includes instruction. This is normally 1-hour sessions, on request of the instructor, often addressing specific assignments or specific resources. I have done some one-off sessions on copyright and multimedia for other courses, not in my liaison area, but these are infrequent.

Re: [Videolib] Question for academic librarians re DVD screenings
I would send the prof a respectful note, letting them know that there are rights issues involved when a video is screened outside the classroom, and 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 and ownership. Many times, they will plead innocence and be very willing to correct their lack of knowledge. I don't think saying nothing is the appropriate way to deal with this situation. Our administration would want us to do the right thing, and my role is to help to facilitate that.

Re: [Videolib] Multi-year lease for streaming films - reboot
Laura: I still am unclear what you are really asking. I don't know about e-book licensing, I only do media. I have developed my own template for a streaming license. It can be amended by the Vendor to suit their particular situation. 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.

Re: [Videolib] DVD packaging question
If the question you are asking is, Do we repackage DVDs, rather than use the vendor's cases, yes, most of us do that. We discard or give away the case that the DVD was shipped to us with, and keep the DVD in a locked security case. Some libraries may not have the locking case, but they likely use sturdy cases that all match, not the flimsy cases that many DVDs are sold in.

Re: [Videolib] Help on licensing contract for streaming rights
Jessica: I'm sure our institution is no different from any other one. Only current and registered students have access to the network files. We have to have this restriction, or there would be tens of thousands of active users, which would go against every license agreement, print or digital, we've ever signed. For us, once a student has left the institution, they are no longer registered, they lose access to password-protected sites. Print or media. This is very fundamental. Same with staff and faculty. The second issue you seem to want clarification on, is distance students. A student who is registered is a student, for all legal purposes. It doesn't matter where they put their head to rest at night. This would be 1:1 viewing, by a registered student, who gets authenticated by the password-protected nature of logons. You seem to be misunderstanding a student doing their coursework. It doesn't matter where they live. They are a legitimate student, they have access to the servers and files of their educational institution, the same as a student who is on campus.

Most of you know I am not much of a techie so exactly how far is the reach for some of you and how are the passwords doled out? Is there a single password for everyone for a particular semester or passwords for particular courses? Again the directors own worldwide rights and if there is a safe way to limit LONG DISTANCE use to just a small group for specific classes they would likely be OK but having folks in London or 3,000 miles away with a password to access there film might freak them out.

Re: [Videolib] Community check out of media in Academic Library
When we acquire an item with restrictions, such as site license or only users from the purchasing organization (students, faculty, staff) we make a note in the MARC record and we put a label on the box, with the type of restriction. That way, the circulation staff should see the label at checkout. We use the locking cases, so there has to be staff handling of the case to remove the lock on the box. We also limit the borrowing period or borrower if an item is over $150. So the CRM, Starthrower and other costly items can not be loaned at all to external borrowers.

Re: [Videolib] Ambrosia
Randal: I don't know if you've received any response to your request, but I was away on vacation until now, so I'll put in my 2 cents worth now. We are actively looking at the Shakespeare collection we have on VHS and DVD, and, in the opinion of 1 of our English instructors, there are better productions of Shakespeare, than the BBC, and Globe Theatre is one major producer of them. See, http://www.shakespearesglobe.com/shop/category/cds-dvds/148 This instructor has gone through our list, which was the complete BBC collection on VHS, plus other versions which have been done, and made specific recommendations. If there are individual plays you'd like recommendations on, let me know, and I'll check her suggestions. The Broadway Theatre Archive has also produced some of the plays, and these are available streamed, from Alexander St. Press. The latter also has the full BBC set, but it is not available to us in Canada, without paying quite a lot more than our current subscription in VAST. I believe Ambrose also has the streaming rights for BBC. So, you have some options.

What are the approaches that we take with this classic set in our hoppers now? I might add, with this possibly-mostly-VHS classic set in our hoppers. Perhaps I am lazy, but I haven't updated /Coriolanus/ and /Richard II/ into DVDs. On the other hand, given the way streaming works, I could cherry pick particular productions on yearly licenses if I knew what was being taught in the coming semesters. It sure was easier in VHS days to have a box set of 37 videos and just have them there if anyone wanted to take the plunge.

Re: [Videolib] Blu-ray discs in academic libraries
My response is identical to Deb's. We don't have Blu-Ray equipment, yet, although I did request funding for 4 machines (2 for Technical Services and 2 for student access in mini=theatres in the Library). When the title is avail. as a combo pack, we'll note that in our catalogue record. If it's avail. only on Blu-Ray, we won't buy it, at least until we have equip. to play it. I don't believe that format will last very long. The public market really is the driving force in terms of choice of technologies for education, and the number of releases have not been stellar in Blu-Ray.

Up until now, we have only purchased DVDs and an occasional VHS-tape if the film is only available in that format. We were wondering how other academic libraries handle this new-ish format. In particular: 1. Do you order blu-ray discs as a matter of course or only as a special request? 2. If you order the blu-ray version, do you also get the film on DVD? 2. Do you try to get those DVD/blu-ray combo packs whenever you can? (They look like a pretty good deal.) And does the media crowd here expect blu-ray to replace DVDs in the near future? Thanks!

Re: [Videolib] VHS weeding
Funny this should come up when I'm doing exactly this- the task of weeding the VHS collection. First I have a list generated in Call # order for the DVD, VHS and streaming formats. This list includes total uses since 2006 (when we migrated to Milennium/now Sierra) and also Last Use date. I work through the list and mark it, looking for VHS only that has had 0 use in 5 years. If we have VHS and DVD, I look at last use on the VHS. If it was recently, it may be because the DVD was added recently, or, the DVD was out when someone wanted the content. Our system does let us look at who the last user was: faculty or student - so that is a final check to see if an instructor is using the content. Unfortunately, the streaming providers we work with are unable to give us title-level stats on use when we license a collection. Individual titles from Films Media/Films on Demand can be verified, but that's the only source where we have added streaming content one at a time. The collections from Alexander St. and NFB are not providing title by title data- at least as far as I can determine. If anybody knows differently, I'd like to hear about it. Once the list is marked, I go to the shelves, and pull off the videos. I'm not comfortable delegating this, because there are decisions I may make, once I see the video in the subject area where it sits. The videos are then given to staff to mark as withdrawn. That's my process - and I only have an opportunity to do it when exams are over and all material is returned, which is right now in December, and again in intersession in May.

Re: [Videolib] VHS weeding
Not just qualms, Rhonda, but it has happened that we thought we could get rid of the 16mm and VHS copies because we had something streamed. Our link checker finds the broken link when the video is removed, and lo and behold, the film has been removed. It doesn't happen very often, like maybe, twice a year - but it has happened. This is true even for e-books from a subscription. Suddenly a publisher decides to change their distributor or vendor, and poof, the content is gone. There isn't much you can do about it, unless you actually purchase the item and pay for the perpetual rights (at ten times the cost). If a faculty member is dependent on content, you may be better to get the DVD for them.

Re: [Videolib] documents or instructions on weeding Media
Barb: This is great. I've been doing the same type of weeding, only I don't have much time to do this, other than during intersessions. How do you have the time to do review of content? Sometimes I'll invite a faculty member to come to the shelves with me, and we go through the report of circs together to make decisions. They know their curriculum, so I find their input valuable. However, if something isn't circ-ing - what's the point of warehousing it, unless it's classic, which many docs. are not. (not all, of course there's always classic BBC series you just want to keep cause they're so good). We're a college, not a research university, so we keep our collection relevant to our users. The same procedure really comes true for print, i.e. monographs. Look at circ history, look at content, condition. Great work, and thanks for writing it out for us. Susan On 16/04/2012 3:49 PM, Bergman, Barbara J wrote: I've been doing a lot of weeding this year of 16mm films and VHS tapes. Here's what I did. Involved objective shuffling of spreadsheet data, and then some subjective decision making: First ran reports that included copyright date, date added to collection, circulation data -- total circs and circs within a shorter time frame (I did 3 years 5 years back, as well as lifetime circs). Reviewed for weeding: 1. No circs at least 5 years in collection 2. Low circs (esp if none within last couple of years) more than 10 years old 3. What kind of content? Feature film or documentary/educational? (Didn't weed feature films unless appeared to have problems). Is title of ongoing interest? Is content classic or likely to be out-of-date (ex: history vs science)? Is it content of local interest? Out of print? If so, are other copies listed as available via WorldCat? 5. For collection development purposes, I also looked at the high circ VHS -- Were the circs recent? If so, looked to see if DVD/streaming was available for reasonable cost. After identified titles were pulled: Did visual review of pulled tapes -- Was content what I had thought? Main problem identified at this point was what to do with video in a series -- keep all or withdraw partial? Also did a visual review of what was left on shelves for tapes that looked old beat-up. Checked circ stats -- if still being used, sent up for repackaging. Most candidates for weeding were so clearcut that I didn't consult subject collection developers regarding the withdrawal. I did let some know that we should look for newer materials in a few subject areas. If in doubt, I generally put it back on the shelf.

Today marks my 33rd anniversary with the University, and this year my 36th as a librarian (a fact which seems more than a little surreal to me). I’ve been director of the Media Center for about 28 of those years, and there hasn’t been week, good or bad, that has gone by without my murmuring a little thanks for the cosmic hiccups that allowed me to stumble into such a cool and personally rewarding gig. I simply cannot think of anywhere that I would have been happier professionally, or another position in which I would have grown and learned and contributed as much. In some sense, I feel a bit like Mark Twain, who was born during the fiery appearance of Halley’s Comet, and who went out with its reappearance, 74 years later. I began my career in media in the early 80s, at the dawn of the home video age (or the “Video Revolution” as it was often hyperbolically called in the library literature at the time). I’m bowing out of the business at a time when the technologies and economics of video production and distribution, and the video content universe itself are again in a state of radical flux. Along with these changes, video collections and service in libraries are also bound to experience major tremors and evolutionary shifts. I’m not sure whether I’m leaving the scene feeling sanguine or pessimistic about this future, but in any case it’s definitely going to be an interesting and challenging next decade. I am going to miss all my long-time professional pals profoundly, both those on the library side and the distributor side of the fence. I grew up with a number of you in this field, and along the way you’ve become a kind of extended workaday family, complete with the obstreperous get-togethers, occasional bickering, and comforting sympathy. I’m also heartened by the number of young, creative, and energetic colleagues who have hopped on board in more recent times. Definitely makes me less gloomy about prospects for the future. Not sure exactly what I’m going to do next: I’d like to continue teaching film somewhere on campus or off; I’m up for grabs as a consultant; want to write a bit; gotta catch up on all the national cinemas I’ve given short-shrift to over the years; want to log in more gym time; would like to hone my banjo and ukulele-playing chops; want to get back to freelance cartooning and illustration. At very least, I’m aiming at becoming an accomplished and well-known Berkeley flâneur and café personality. As for the fate of the UC Berkeley Media Resources Center… In light of the dire economic straits into which UC has been shoved, it is almost completely unlikely that my position will be filled any time soon. The future of the redoubtable MRC collection and website remains murky, at best. I can’t really think about all of this too much; it’s just too damn depressing to ponder, and I’ve got other things on my mind. In other words, après moi, le deluge, and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it. For the time being, Gisele Tanasse (MLIS), crack MRC Operations Czarina, will look after the shop. She has also graciously agreed to keep an administrative eye on videolib and videonews.

Re: [Videolib] Canadian PPR vs. U.S. PPR income
Judy: The PPR cost is not separated out from the budget as a separate item, because we simply have no choice - you pay the price to get PPR, or you don't buy the item. At least in the academic world, we don't add items to our collection unless they have those rights. Many years ago, the Canadian government Statistics Canada used to collect information on the amount of money spent on educational media, annually. Unfortunately, they are no longer keeping those statistics. Because of confidentiality, I am reluctant to name producers or products that are available to the US market for a reasonably low price of, say $50. The rights for use for this item, in the U.S., allow classroom, face to face screenings. However, the same item, with PPR is $200. In Canada, we have to pay the PPR, even though the producer is US or UK, and in the US market, these rights would not be necessary. Steve - you have only to search Amazon for any of the series you sell, and you'll see the retail cost is far below what the Canadian educators have to buy them for. However, you know that we continue to uphold the law, and we buy these rights from you and other Canadian distributors. For Hollywood, or feature films, we pay for two annual licenses so that we may use the films produced by the studios, in the classroom. These licenses would not be necessary if we had the US educational classroom exemptions. Again, I don't want to reveal the cost of this license, but, across the nation, I'm certain feature film licenses, alone cost the education system half a million dollars. The cost is based on an FTE calculation. Look at the total number of students and guestimate that x $0.50 (this is the standard quote the companies start negotiations with). Judy asked about the limitations this results in - well, if you have X amount of dollars, and you have to buy items at $200 instead of $50, you are able to buy one fourth as much. It's just that simple. If PPR rights are not available, as in foreign films, or films out of distribution, you simply can't show the item. There is no central clearing house for educational PPR. Rights have to be cleared on an item by item basis. There is some central agency that does print clearances, but their knowledge of digital rights is lacking, and most of us in media have no faith that using this agency serves any purpose that benefits rightsholders. What I have noticed US educational producers doing, is the institutional price vs. the home use price. Perhaps this is a different name for the PPR price differential.

How much is budgeted for Canadian schools of all kinds to purchase the right to perform films for students? Presumably this is a separate item from the budget for buying films, with or without PPR. There is a central clearing-house for educational PPR in Canada, isn't there, that might be able to put a rough figure to it? The American budget for educational PPR is zero, though in fact this feature is often included by distributors in a video purchase, to justify charging a higher institutional price. Next question: What limitations on the films shown in Canadian classrooms ensue?-i.e. what choices are made not to show a particular film, for example in a film studies class, or a particular film in a French class, because it would not be in the budget or the PPR rights are not readily available?

Re: [Videolib] media workflow change
Rhonda: 1. Needing more staff and getting it are different things. No new staff has been available. However, I, as media librarian have undertaken the negotiating and licensing of streamed content. This is a totally new process, which DVD did not require. I prepared a master license, had it approved by the legal authorities, and now ask vendors to sign our master agreement (which can be tweaked to accommodate a vendor's request). Every streamed title is covered by a license agreement. So far, we only have about 12 titles, but it certainly takes time, as I prepare the license. Then, the acquisitions person orders the item, (same as for DVD). However, many vendors do not provide the streamed file, so it has to be transcoded to our streaming specs. This is done in-house by our Instructional Media Dept. Then, the file has to be ftp'd to our streaming provider, IRIS Education. They send us back the url. The url has to be entered into the catalogue record. I create the ERM record and enter the license details into our cataloguing system, Milennium. So, there are new steps, it does take staff time, it is not without problems. It really bugs me that the vendor who does not provide the streaming file is giving no financial remuneration to us for having to do the work of creating the streaming file. It's on our time, and using our servers - shouldn't this be acknowledged and compensated? Instead, they charge more than the DVD for streaming - makes no sense to me. 2. No new budget money or staff, therefore it really is a cutback, or doing more with less. Susan On 29/09/2011 5:57 PM, Rosen, Rhonda J. wrote: Hi, 1.)

Re: [Videolib] HELP: Best response re libraries and PPR
. Clearly the mission of most libraries is not aligned with that philosophy. As allowed by 109, we can buy something once and check it out as many times as patrons want it. Many distributors feel, however, that if a video is likely to be viewed many times then we should pay more for it. If we were income-producing institutions and our missions were to create profits then perhaps, but we are not income-producing (indeed, most of us are dealing with annual budget cuts) and our missions are to collect, preserve, and provide access etc. etc. etc... But really, it's about 109.

Re: [Videolib] Filmakers Library Online
We have the Ethnographic video Online. To get the MARC records, you have to work with ASP directly, as every subscription is unique. They have a website with the MARC records. Your cataloguer uploads the records to your ILS,, adds your local information or prefix. Each title from that collection now appears, individually in our catalogue, with the link to get the video. We use a proxy server, so that on-campus, it isn't necessary to do a password to get access. Off-campus, an ID and password is required.

Re: [Videolib] Permanent reserves
We have "restricted lending" videos interfiled with the regular media collection, which is open shelved. The definition of this is, in-library only for students, but lendable for faculty and staff. The cost of an item, or its use for instruction will be the reasons for earning this status. I've noticed that items that have earned this status seem to never have that status removed, so this is a flaw in our system, in that we should do a report of items with that status so that we can modify it if an item's price comes down, or it is no longer used in instruction. As for rare or out of print - that isn't something we are concerned with very often, as we are not an archival library. The cost at the time of purchase is more our determinant, since we don't retrospectively search our collection to see if replacements can be obtained. Of course the VHS to DVD conversion project hasn't really begun, other than when an item is missing or damaged, or we note that there is a sale on. If we find a VHS that has no DVD available, and we wanted to replace it, we may change the status of the VHS to "restricted lending" or, in Canadian law, if there is no vendor of the item, we are permitted to change format, and the terms of the original item transfers to the new item. Susan Ball, James (jmb4aw) wrote: Hi All, This isn't a particularly fun Friday question, but... Does anyone have a "permanent reserves" video collection, and if so what's in it and how do you keep it updated?

Re: [Videolib] PPR / Paid Admission Question
Meghann, for once, I agree with Jessica. Public Performance Rights that are sold to education are also called Non-Theatrical Rights and, almost always, do NOT include the right to charge admission OR to show it to an audience outside the mandate of the purchasing institution. Again, Jessica is correct that working with the distributor or producer may result in a fee that is reasonable for all concerned. Susan Meghann Matwichuk wrote: I thought I was pretty well-versed in Public Performance Rights, however I just had a question that has me a bit stumped. We have been indicating in our cataloging records when a media item has been purchased with Public Performance Rights, and I often show faculty interested in programming film series how they can search our catalog for these titles. These have always been for non-paying audiences. Today I spoke with a faculty member who is proposing to rent out a local non-profit theater, and wants to charge admission to recoup the rental costs. It dawned on me that I've never dealt with or considered the paid admission / PPR scenario. So: There is no one definition of PPR, is there? Meaning, some distributors may say that PPR includes the 'right' to charge admission, while others will stipulate that it's only applicable for 'free' admission? My hunch is that the faculty member will need to contact the distributors for clarification. Your $.02? Thank you, * Meghann Matwichuk, M.S.

Re: [Videolib] Educational PPR
Actually this terminology is great for those of us working under Canadian copyright law. We do use, educational public performance wording when we request that permission from U.S. vendors. Perhaps that's where this vendor is coming from... They are sick and tired of having us ask for the permission that US Copyright already allows. Susan Karen Ketchaver wrote: List members, I noted this today on a vendor website: Educational Public Performance Rights (PPR) allow for screening IN A CLASSROOM SETTING ONLY for matriculated students in any not-for-profit institution - universities, museums, galleries, libraries, microcinemas, community centers, or educational institutions, in an educational context. This assertion seems to contradict what U.S. Copyright Title 17 states regarding library and classroom use (performance or display of work by instructors or pupils in the course of face-to-face teaching activities of a nonprofit educational institution, in a classroom or similar place devoted to instruction). I know that this topic has been well discussed on the list, but educational public performance rights was a new wrinkle for me. Thanks, Karen G.

Re: [Videolib] Need advice on pricing tech specs for streaming rights
I had a computer crash on Fri. so I couldn't answer you sooner. Meanwhile I've seen some of the other responses. Jessica, if our college has to digitize (transcode) the item, and store it on our own server, and deal with our own infrastructure in order to stream the video, then we ought not to be paying the same amount as when we are able to link to a vendor's site, where the video is waiting to be viewed. It costs staff time to transcode the DVD - it costs staff time to ftp the file to wherever the server is that will do the streaming, and it takes staff time manage the server. If we do all of those things, we ought to be given some consideration for having done all of the work. I think your price of $200 per disc, for a 6 year term, if that's what you're saying, is dependent on the situation. Formulas may not work in this rapidly changing world. I certainly would not pay that for a $50 retail video. and we do all the work. You should be paying us. As for 6 year, 5 year or perpetual license terms - you know what, folks? After 5 years, a video may be getting tired, anyway. Other than classics, which many of us who've been in the biz. a number of years can name, 5 years is a good run on a documentary. Being reminded to remove it from your server may be doing you a favor, to do collection management, and weed out the older content. We have so many items on our media shelves (yes, we do have a collection housed separately) that are so old, they should have been removed 5 years ago, but we never got around to it. So, I'm coming around to thinking that 5 or 6 years may be an acceptable term. Hopefully, there would be recourse to renew for another term, if the item is still being used. And then there's the issue of server storage space - videos take up a lot of space, especially if you have chosen a larger format screen size over the miniature size. We just transcoded a video into MP4 and it takes up 600 MB of space - it won't take long to fill up storage space at that rate. So, removing older videos is a good thing, if lack of use justifies it. Those are some of my ideas, now that we've begun to wade in the quagmire of streaming. Regards, Susan Weber Jessica Rosner wrote: I am working with a number of filmmakers and small distributors who would like to sell streaming rights for their films. It is an eclectic group but mostly documentaries and classic films. Most, but not all can sell lifetime streaming rights, but some can only sell for their own contract term which is probably about six years. I should mention some of these films are institutional only and sell for a few hundred dollars each and others are available retail for around $30. In most cases PPR rights would also be included and many of these are films that actually get screened on campuses. Streaming prices seem to be all over the map these days. I was thinking of roughly $200 extra (beyond the current sale price) for singledisc titles and $300 or more for multi-disc sets. As mentioned not all of the films will have lifetime rights, but even those for which the term would only be 6 years would have to be at the same price point. It would be possible to license a film for less for one time/semester use. Standard restrictions would apply such as going on password protected system and accessible only to students or faculty using them for a specific course. Besides pricing the other big issue is the "access" issue. These filmmakers do not have the money or time to set up their own servers so they would be selling a physical DVD for which the institution could digitize and put on its own system. I would like to know any general feedback to the above and if many of you are now buying or licensing streaming rights for classroom films.

Re: [Videolib] DVD Canada Only
Here's the scoop: they gave you too much information. The terminology that is on this box, which refers to 'home use' is legal to use in the US classroom, so you are OK to put the video in your collection, circulate it, and show it in face-to-face teaching, in the US. This would not be true in Canada, without extra licensing or permission.

The vendor might not have the rights to sell outside Canada, but somehow your purchase slipped through.

Better to straighten this out before you pay, if it's not too late.

Re: [Videolib] Help with Documentary Copyright Issues
The answer to these questions should have been contained in the licenses she acquired when she bought the clips. It is ABC, CNN, etc. who dictate these terms. She should assume nothing without checking with the sources of the footage. Term, conditions of use are all contained in the purchase - she should have been careful when she bought these rights.

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone is using 3M security-strip overlays in
conjunction with a doughnut hub label. We are currently using
the
overlays and hand-writing our library's ownership information
around the
DVD hub, as we had been concerned about excessive labels
throwing off
the DVDs' spin/balance. But we're trying to streamline the
processing of
these items, and get them out on the shelves faster.
We're very interested in anyone who has used both the security
overlays
WITH a printable (or pre-printed) hub label--has this worked for
you?
Have there been problems (patron complaints about playability
issues,
etc.)? Any real-world information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks very much,

Re: [Videolib] DVD Packaging
Ditto to Deg's comments for what we do- Overall, I think the responses will fall into academic and public library categories. Academics tend to pay more, therefore security cases will be more in evidence, and consistency in long term shelving will be evident. Publics have higher circs and original packaging is important - for display. As long as glossy covers are supplied, keep the plastic flimsy cases, and ship in cardboard or recycled material. As long as shipping envelope is sturdy, that is.
