My two cents. It is only legal if it is in the contract/license. I worked VERY hard to get all the directors I work with to remove it (and they all did). I tried to reassure them that interlibarly loan was generally used for individual research or maybe one off class use and that schools would not do it to save money and not buy their own copy and just borrow it once or twice a year. I hope I was accurate because they believed me.
I think that is the sticking point for most rights holders. I realize it is impossible for a library to guarantee such things but the concern not so much an institution borrowing for one time use but using interlibrary loan to avoid buying a copy they would use regularly. Also it goes without saying that if a DVD comes with PPR rights those are never transferable if the item does go out on ILL Jessica On Thu, May 8, 2014 at 11:27 AM, Oling, Rebecca <[email protected]>wrote: > I recently bought some very expensive DVD titles at the institutional rate > and was told by the vendor that they cannot be loaned out via ILL.

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.
