This filmmaker wants to know why I don't need PPR for videos purchased for my library (where they are only loaned to individuals, watched in the library by single viewers, or in on-campus classrooms). Is the ALA Library Fact Sheet 7 the best explanation for the unenlightened? Thanks - Janice

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.
