Greetings,
The ARL has created a great new resource to promote fair use and the Code
of Best Practices. The full PDF is available at:
http://www.arl.org/publications-resources/2875
There are three versions available: a full-size PDF, an 8.5 x 11 letter
sized PDF for printing, and a PNG file for
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,

intimidation from hostile outside groups.
Wow! I didn't realize I was so tough! Next time I meet a librarian, I'll
have to ease up on my hostility. ;-)

Hello everyone,
Ms. Rosner's description of the ARL position is, as usual, simplistic and
ultimately erroneous. ARL does not simply claim that you can stream an entire
film for class purposes without taking any other factors into account. Among
the other limitations, in Best Practices
Sorry but those limitations do not change the fact that ACRL AND Brenden
Butler in a public session say it was entirely legal to steam ALL of
CITIZEN KANE ( which is legally available to license from Swank) because it
was made for entertainment and was now being used for education and

Against the Grain is a down-to-earth, practice-oriented library journal.
Its goal is to provide acquisitions librarians in all types of libraries,
and information sellers, with current information on events in the field,
and practical insights into acquisitions techniques and processes. The Biz
Jessica and all,
First off - it was pointed out to me off-list that my response contained some
imprecise language. Namely, I said: ...to suggest that screening an entire
film would be fair use, there would have to be a clear pedagogical purpose for
screening the entire film that is not served
The problem is that clear pedological reason for streaming an entire
film is pretty much an open invitation to do stream anything that a
professor wants the students watch.. Of course there is a reason to use the
whole film and not just a portion. Professors often want their students to
see
Hi all
The discussion on copyright and fair use never ends, why don't you all just
buy the films with PPR in first place than there will be no discussion at
all, no cases no judges lawyers, just simply buy the rights that is what
Anthony at UCLA does. If you buy with PPR then classroom use is
Nahum (wearing my other hat)
PPR is rarely an issue with libraries. THEY DO NOT NEED IT FOR CLASSROOM
use as long as it is used in the class itself or shown in a classroom
during the semester ( does anyone do those extra shows anymore). In the US

Hello Jessica,
PPR is becoming a larger issue with us, as we are encountering more vendors who
are using their own definition of PPR. We have come across vendor websites
that essentially state that PPR is needed for educational screenings and if
their videos are purchased without PPR, those
They can say what they want but that is not the law. If they require you to
literally sign a statement in order to purchase the item then it is a
contract but classroom use has NOTHING to do ppr or for that matter fair
use It is covered under face to face which is the most blessedly
specific
Hi Jessica
We seem to agree, yet there are too many grey areas for example, a film
is screened at the university hall a professor gives a 2 minute introduction
it is face to face,
I again say as a distributer I don't have the time or aptitude to find out
who is violating trust , I believe
I assume you mean companies or filmmakers who claim you need PPR for
classroom use. You have NO idea how hard I sometimes have to explain to
filmmakers that once a film is for sale in the retail market or through
third parties, they have NO control over the otherwise legal uses. My

Jessica freinds
Am I right to say you cannot stream without having PPR???
We are selling our film One Day After Peace only as PPR, for we believe
the message of the film about Peace, Shalom, Salaam' should be screened
for everyone on the campus not just in the classrooms,
As for other films we
