Dear Gary, On behalf of everyone at Newsreel, I want to congratulate you on your upcoming retirement. I can think of no one who has done more for the educational media community over the years than you. Videolib has become as important a part of our lives as our morning coffee - and sometimes as astringent. What will wake us up now!
The loss of one of our most loyal and discerning clients is only compensated by the thought of how rewarding your retirement years will prove. In particular, for the reason you cite, I can't help but suspect you are leaving the field at an opportune moment; après vous le deluge! Newsreel is especially delighted to learn that you'll be staying in the Bay Area where we can join you in café society ourselves. Indeed, I can think of several areas where Newsreel could make good use of your encyclopedic knowledge of film history and use - if you can take time off from your leisurely jaunts around the world. We too will follow in your footsteps into the sunset (or is it dawn?) shortly. Sincere Good Wishes, Larry and the Crew at Newsreel. . -----Original Message----- From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of videolib-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu Sent: Monday, April 02, 2012 3:38 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: videolib Digest, Vol 53, Issue 12 Send videolib mailing list submissions to videolib@lists.berkeley.edu To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://calmail.berkeley.edu/manage/list/listinfo/videolib@lists.berkeley.edu or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to videolib-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu You can reach the person managing the list at videolib-ow...@lists.berkeley.edu When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of videolib digest..."

These are a few common ways for academic library patrons to access streamed material: 1. The streamed title can be hosted by our library: access only by faculty, students, and staff members who have a valid campus email address and unique university password or guests who use a guest password that is valid only inside the library building. 2. The streamed title can be hosted by a university's streaming server that is accessible only through a course management system. This arrangement means that a faculty member and the students in his/her class(es) who are assigned to view the title are given access to it through a password to information for a specific class. The downside to this arrangement is that students and faculty members who may want/need to use such a title have to rely on word of mouth to know that it is available. This arrangement can also be very cumbersome for university personnel to manage. 3. The streamed title can be hosted by the distributor with access as described in either situation1 or 2 above. 4. The streamed title can hosted by the distributor with individual students paying for their own license to access the title. This seems to be a very cumbersome arrangement for the distributor since the company has to keep up with individual students' payments, access rights and problems, etc. Any of these arrangements can feature various permutations on length of use: 1. Term limits: by the week(s), month(s), semester(s), or year(s) 2. In perpetuity; And number of users: 1. Individual students; 2. Specific class(es); 3. Number of potential users (based on the total enrollment or full-time equivalency, FTE, enrollment). From my perspective, the less complicated and less restrictive the terms of the license, the more likely we are to look favorably at licensing streamed content. I prefer to purchase a DVD to be housed in the library and pay some extra for streaming rights either at the time I purchase the DVD or later when requested by a faculty member. Vendors sell streaming licenses as stand-alone purchases, in conjunction with a DVD purchase, or separately at whatever time the customer needs it after the DVD purchase. I suggest that you look at the websites of other documentary distributors to assess how they construct the terms of their streaming licenses. At this time there appears to be no standard method of selling streaming licenses. Hope this helps, Gail On 3/31/2012 11:14 AM, nahum laufer wrote: > > Thanks Sarah Andrews > > For your information.
