I see no reason that the home video cannot be purchased for that use, unless 
for reason the "seminar" is outside the realm of a classroom situation....and 
the university is clearly not a for-profit institution.

Welcome to Canada !!

 

This is what we face every day, we have no choice of not purchasing University 
copies with PPR (Public Performance Rights) like you lucky folks do in the US.

$300.00 for a video for universities and colleges vs $25.00 for a video for 
home use and one faculty member wants to view it to maybe show to a seminar of 
15 students... and I have to say no because I can't fit it into the budget at 
$300.00.  No one will ever convince me that this cost differential is 
justifiable when it's being used in the classroom for 15 students.

 

OK, said it, no need to reply because I know what you'll all say.  J

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. 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.
