Sorry I missed your reference to to page 15 but I am still utterly confused re a direct quote. You wrote "Those recommendations also include increasing the number of copies that can be made, and permitting loan of a copy of something that was originally purchased to be loaned" which is confusing to say the least.
The closest thing I can find on page 15 to match is "Those exceptions permit them, under certain conditions, to reproduce and distribute lawfully acquired copyrighted works for specified purposes, where such activities can be conducted without material harm to the legitimate interests of rights holders" Needless to say there is a little debate about what might case material harm to the legitimate interests of rights holders when some suggest one should just be able to copy and supply potentially any item in the collection for "research" or whatever. Just to clarify, is it your position that a library can make a copy and loan of ANYTHING it its collection ,book, DVD etc? Only out of print books & films? Does this include material transferred from analog to digital? Should any attempt be made to contact the rights holder? Again the statement above re permitted to loan any item that was purchased to loan is insanely vague and would cover all but unpublished material so could you clarify your view?

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.
