At the risk of launching a messy can 'o worms.... I came across this today. I don't recall seeing it posted or announced anywhere else, even on this list...
http://www.infodocket.com/2012/04/30/new-from-ala-community-practices-in-the-fair-use-of-video-in-libraries/ Link to the full document (as a web page): http://pages.shanti.virginia.edu/Fair_Use_and_Video/ Before all hell breaks loose, I have not read the whole document carefully from beginning to end. But from my cursory read, it does not appear to be "Code of Best Practices" document. Instead, it reads to me as a report on what a study determined where the practices that librarians are using. I recall being interviewed for the project some time back. deg farrelly ASU Libraries Arizona State University P.O. Box 871006 Tempe, Arizona 85287-1006 480.965.1403 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.
