I am not attacking individuals but I think the actions and attitudes of UCLA ( and others) speak for themselves. Obviously I know even more than I can post and if I could I know it would make some people on this list even angrier.
I understand UCLA personal are somewhat constrained on what they can say, but I would like to know if you agree that streaming entire feature works to students on and off campus even as part of course is ethical ( forgetting legal) and I really wish someone who agrees with this view would explain why it is different from doing the same with a novel, textbook, etc. On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 12:13 PM, Brown, Roger <[email protected]> wrote: > All, > > While I appreciate and respect everyone's right to say what they like on > the videolib listserv, can I request that we temper the language to avoid > further comments suggesting that the librarians and academics here at UCLA > are nothing more than thieves? > > I am one of those librarians and academics, and we are not intentionally > or maliciously out to steal any and all content, regardless of contracts, > agreements or law.

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.
