Ms. Ehlinger: The question was very specifically, how many AIME institutional members are also ARL (Association of Research Libraries members)? I have been to your site, and without being a member, I can't see a list of institutional members. The list of ARL members may be found at http://www.arl.org/arl/membership/members.shtml. I am sure there are a number of us who are interested in an answer to this question. If you do not wish to share the names of the institutional members, which may be a proprietary list, please at least compare your membership list to the ARL list. I know I would appreciate an answer to the question as asked.
Respectfully, Jennifer Foster Media Librarian The Victoria College/University of Houston-Victoria Library 361.570.4195 [email protected] Message: 2 Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2010 13:02:26 -0500 From: "Betty Gorsegner Ehlinger" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Videolib] AIME primer To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <002201cad5b3$51280540$f3780f...@com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Gary, Thank you for asking about AIME membership. AIME membership is open to any institution or agency interested in copyright compliance and the education of those who use copyrighted materials, regardless of format. Annual institutional dues are only $150, while corporate dues are $250. Additional membership information can be found at www.AIME.org AIME has a variety of members who provide services to students beyond k-12...a quick count shows 13 devoted to higher ed. Our institutional members consist of state universities and private colleges/universities, state departments of education, school districts, regional service agencies, county offices of education, private schools, public television agencies, etc. Many of these agencies provide educational services to students attending higher educational facilities. These institutional members have found that AIME provides needed information and support in a timely manner and at a fee that is very reasonable. While the majority of our institutional members offer services to the k-12 student, AIME has received a number of inquiries about membership from the university/college venue. With institutional legal counsel fees frequently being charged to various departmental budgets, AIME dues covering access to an attorney specializing in intellectual property rights are considered by many to be a good investment. Members submit their copyright questions and the AIME attorney provides written replies. A quarterly newsletter provides additional information, a "hot topic" lead article and a Q&A related to copyright. A Copyright Information Packet is posted in the Member Area of the AIME website, and includes articles and Q&As that can be duplicated to meet the needs of students, staff, faculty and administration of member agencies. All of this support is covered with annual institutional dues of $150. Please let me know if you have other questions. I'd be happy to answer "off list" as needed. Membership applications can be found at www.AIME.org Thanks, Betty Betty Ehlinger AIME Executive Director -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 10:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Videolib] AIME primer zip reply...my guess is the answer be "none" gary > On 3/25/10 4:48 PM, "[email protected]" > <[email protected]> sent this: > >> How many ARL libraries are AIME members, Betty? >> >> Gary > > Maybe I missed any response to this?

It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
