Dear videolib, As part of Fair Use Week, legal expert Brandon Butler will be hosting a Tweetchat on fair use, audiovisual media, and libraries on Wednesday, February 25, 2015, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. EST.
The tweetchat will address concerns like the following: Can I make a digital copy of this video? When is a public performance public? When can I break digital rights technology on DVDs? Is the auditorium a classroom? How can libraries preserve born-digital works acquired via a license agreement? And my [Carrie Russell's!] favorite: What about YouTube? What can we do with YouTube? Ask Brandon Butler your media question. Participate in the Twitter tweetchat by using #videofairuse.

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.
