The license agreement that the faculty member accepts when they sign up for service will dictate what they can do with their subscription. The last time I checked (2-3 years ago now) Netflix was for individual home use.
I would love to hear otherwise.

I have always assumed it was fine. Access was legally acquired and would fall under 110(1). Another support department on my campus is saying, no, it's not legal because Netflix's terms of service trump 110. They are coming to this conclusion based on advice from an inhouse article<http://www.library.unt.edu/news/may-one-stream-netflix-video-class-use> written by our Scholarly Communications Librarian. I never saw eye to eye with this librarian on media related copyright issues, his interpretations do not necessarily reflect those of the campus legal office AND he recently left the university. So I'm trying to find something else solid that addresses this issue. I flipped back through Ciara Healy's Library Trends article, but it doesn't seem to address the copyright issue. Can anyone point me to something? Thanks! Kim Kim Stanton Head, Media Library University of North Texas kim.stan...@unt.edu<mailto:kim.stan...@unt.edu> P:(940) 565-4832
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.
