Tweeting seems a particularly inappropriate venue for discussing copyright issues given the limited number of characters one can respond with and the complexity of copyright law and licensing, lack of bright lines for amounts to be copied, and all the variables which must be considered. I looked at the transcript for last years and found it hard to follow and not particularly illuminating.

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.
