This is a great checklist!  We should all save/copy for future use.

Hello Becky and the CALIB Community,

My colleagues in the Video Round Table (VRT) of ALA at the university level have far more knowledge about the TEACH Act than do I, so I posted a question to them about the misinformation Becky is receiving about digitizing their video collection. Below is the posting from a VRT member at UNLV. This video on demand IP company is way out of line telling Becky and the IT staff to digitize their collection. Follow Tom's link not only to the check list, but scroll up as well for more details about the TEACH Act. Posting below...

Hi Susan, 
Yikes.  There's no way that systematically digitizing that collection is legal.  This person is right that the TEACH act is specifically for distance ed.  Here's a handy checklist to see if what they are doing qualifies: http://www.utsystem.edu/ogc/intellectualproperty/teachact.htm#checklist

We are going to a Video on Demand IP based system. The vendor is telling the tech guys that they can digitize our video collections and cite the TEACH act.  I have been trying to tell the Tech services director that this act does not mean that we can digitize our analog collections or even distribute DVD’s over the network. It appears from my research that TEACH is specific to distance learning situations and gives some of the same fair use exemptions as face to face learning situations, but DOES NOT suspend the main restrictions of copyright and fair use.   Has anyone out there had to deal with this?  Any resources I can pass on to the tech department.  The things I find on the internet do not refer to video delivery to classrooms.

 Yes, you'd have to replace them. :( However, how about asking the staff if they can donate their old VHS players? You may be able to get 2 or 3 that way to help as you begin replacing the videos. I think a lot of people still have their VHS players but don't use them. You could also ask your parents!

It is a violation of copyright to transfer video to DVD even if the video is out of print. Consider that it is a book that is worn out - you have to purchase a new one, you can't digitize it or photocopy it. In this case, whether or not it is for school use has no bearing. One of the great advantages of DVDs is that they are smaller than videos!

Subject: [CALIBK12] Video to DVDHelp, my friends!

We are having a "discussion" at our school which is becoming quite heated.  We have a number of good educational videos, but just discovered that we now only have one video player left in the whole school.  Is it OK to transfer videos to DVD for classroom use, or do we have to purchase new DVD's?  If that is the case, what do you do with old videos after discarding? 

I only know I would LOVE to have the three stacks that are devoted to video for books!

Thanks for any help clarifying this before it comes to blows. (As if we don't have better things to argue about!)

Janie
