"Movie Captioning and Video Description [for Movies Shown at Movie
Theaters]".
1st paragraph of the summary from the Fact Sheet:
"Summary: The Department is providing advance notice that it is
considering whether to propose revising the title III regulations to
require movie theater owners and operators to show movies with closed
captions and video description in their theaters at least fifty
percent of the time. The purpose of the notice is to discuss how best
to frame such a requirement and to determine the costs and benefits of
any such requirement."
Sincerely,
Cathy

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.
