You are still a non-profit institution, the purpose is still instruction and it is face to face. I don't see where the issue is. The videos only need to be legal copies (they don't have to belong to the institution - they could be acquired through ILL, or be copies owned by the faculty).
mb Michael Brewer Team Leader for Instructional Services University of Arizona Libraries [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brigid Duffy Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2011 8:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Videolib] Extended Education Classes Hi Videolib, The face-to-face exemption allows: "performance or display of a work by instructors or pupils in the course of face-to-face teaching activities of a nonprofit educational institution, in a classroom or similar place devoted to instruction" A question has come up as to how far that goes. Our extended education program has satellite programs in connection with other colleges in the area. Can videos that SFSU bought for SFSU classes be shown? Our extended education program has a 'credit partners' option for businesses and conferences, which will allow university credit for in-house training or conferences, if they meet our university department's standards for instruction. Can they use videos we have bought in face to face instruction? I swear, every time somebody tries to clear up copyright issues, somebody else creates a new grey area. Thanks for any information, ideas or opinions. Brigid Duffy Academic Technology San Francisco State University San Francisco, CA 94132-4200 E-mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
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.
