I am a little confused but I think the youtube "disclaimer " is definitely a bad idea
First it looks like most of this material would be from former or current student for faculty so surely you have the means to contact them directly and ask. Second will this "repository" be fully searchable on say google so that one could type in subject or name and the material would just be accessible? I ask because that of course is how youtube works and if the item would not show up in a simple search on www than how would the person who created know it was there in order to object? I really do not think you want to upset people connected to the school but digitizing and presumably making their material available without asking. However is their some agreement by students and faculty that the school somehow owns their works or is free to make them available?

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.
