Most of the Zipporah films have purchase agreements restricting use to
your institution. ILL may be difficult!
Good luck.

Also with the film retailing for $400, I cannot think that too many
institutions would be too willing to want to lend out such an expensive
item on ILL. Items sent out on ILL do (occasionally) get lost in the mail,
or do not get returned by the patron doing the borrowing, or get
damaged
Dumb question. Setting aside the ILL restriction by Zipporah why would
the loaning institution not be responsible for the replacement cost?
Seems pretty basic to a non librarian unless there was some debate on
how the item was lost or damaged. I would hope libraries have a policy
of insisting that
...deciding just who or which library would be responsible...
No, actually it's established that the instant the materials leave the lending
library, they become the responsibility of the borrowing library. Which can
cause for bad feelings if the materials are sent without insurance or good
Not a dumb question at all. An institution could send back a borrowed
damaged VHS tape claiming that it was sent from the lending library
that way, which that library adamantly denies. And it goes back
and forth in a most unpleasant fashion--especially when it concerns
big ticket items. I've
1. When materials are sent out through ILL and something happens to it before
it comes home, the borrowing library pays. Period. (You should be worried
about what your own patrons are borrowing, not what you're sending out.
2. But Zipporah Films usually have licensing restrictions that include
Thanks I would think that would be the policy. Is there a standard
fee? Good packing and insurance do cost. As a practical matter it is
hard to get reliable insurance on damage. Usually anything past $100 (
the standard) and UPS.FX USPS will balk. To me the key is good
packing and tracking.

Dear Colleagues,
I would appreciate if anyone could send me sample policies or collection

1. Responding to purchases for single titles from one faculty member over

2. Requests for titles that are part of a
Half of our collection is for student home use but we don't extend
that to alumni for various reasons - mostly financial and that it
falls outside of our mission. Yet we loan books to them so I'm
softening. Any useful feedback?

Dear all,
I'm sure this has been discussed here before. But I need to refresh my memory.
If a faculty at a university wants to establish an educational group or a club
(like a book club) inside his department and the members are all students at
the university and wants to show films for that
Hi Farhad
The use you describe requires public performance rights.
Doesn't matter what kind of film you show, whether or not you charge
entrance, or whether the audience is composed of students only or others.
Once you show an entire work outside of the home or outside of
face-to-face teaching
Debra,
I, too, dislike having to ask departments to contribute funds to a
purchase, but I do so under these circumstances: single title applicable
primarily to one discipline, =/$500; series (regardless of # of titles)
applicable primarily to one department, =/$750. I also dislike
purchasing
Chris! When we drastically liberalized two years ago our policy for lending
out videos, we decided to extend such privileges to our alumni. Possibly
because parking is so difficult on campus here, we find that few alums--
our Trojan Family-- avail themselves of this privilege. What use that
