Thanks for the precision. I meant that by "whether they can digitize and stream an entire film" but did not even recall that it was only dramatic works that are indicated.

Re consistent policies... There is a difference between making copyrighted materials available to enrolled students in a password-protected site (which is the film streaming situation) and putting copyrighted material on the web with free availability to anyone at all. The former case involves educational use as defined in the TEACH act (the legal question being whether they can digitize and stream an entire film, and perhaps whether TEACH covers course management systems in courses that have a standard brick-and-mortar classroom component). The publication of the music collection is untenable unless the music is clearly public domain, or the permissions are obtained. Making digital copies of the non-PD Mexican collection requires recourse to Section 108, which restricts use to the library itself. To me it sounds like what they are doing is perfectly adequate for scholars, who would nevertheless have to come to UCLA to study the full collection. On the other hand, it seems to me that researching the original musicians and publishers of the "orphan" works would be a part of constructing the history of this type of music, and therefore something the library should investigate or into which it should encourage investigation.
