Hi Jeremy and all, Expired rights is a major issue for us video librarians, one of the major issues for me. I feel that this comes up even more so with performing arts related videos, though perhaps it's just because I am a liaison librarian to these populations in my current position.
What do you recommend, from a vendor's perspective, us librarians do to preserve and make this material accessible? You may not believe it, but some of the performing VHS are extremely valuable pedagogical tools even 20 years after the fact! I have a quiet little blogpost on the Dancing series as an example to how much these materials matter. It's here: http://mediaservices.gmu.edu/?p=896 While libraries in the U.S. can explore copyright law for solutions to preserve material, I wonder if there is something we can do more concretely to put a cost figure on "extremely costly." Let me know if you have any constructive thoughts, because maybe there is some small idea we can put our heads together on.
