The library has over 1,500 videos and DVDs which may be used in the classroom. We encourage faculty to book videos well in advance to reduce scheduling conflicts.

To book a video, please complete an Online Video/DVD Booking Form. A paper version of the form is also available at the Checkout Desk. Faculty may make requests via email to Library_VideoBookings&ReservesRequests@clark.edu or call in requests to x2553.

• Requests should be made at least 3 business-days in advance of the booking date to allow time to process the order.
• If calling in orders please limit requests to 3 bookings per call.
• If reservations are not made enough in advance, we cannot guarantee a video will be available.
• Faculty are encouraged to book videos for the entire quarter to reduce scheduling conflicts.

If you need help selecting videos or have questions about reserves or video bookings, please call x2553 or email Library_VideoBookings&ReservesRequests@clark.edu.

Clark College acquires videorecordings in one of four ways:

In all cases, the College complies with applicable legal restrictions found in the U.S. Copyright Law and sets policy for the appropriate use of videorecordings on campus.

Purchase

Videorecordings may be purchased for home use only, with public performance rights or with educational or classroom performance rights. Frequently a video may be purchased with either home use only or public performance rights. The cost of the public performance version is usually significantly more than the home use version. Whenever possible, it is the policy of Cannell Library to purchase videorecordings with public performance rights in order to maximize the ways in which we can use the video.

Many distributors sell videos with what they call educational performance rights or classroom rights. These "rights" essentially confirm the right to use the videorecording under the "face-to-face" teaching exemption of the Copyright Law but exclude public performance rights.

Educational Performance videorecordings:

Off-air recording

Videos recorded off-air, whether by an individual at home or by Library/Media staff, may be shown to students only within the first 10 school days after the recording date and retained up to 45 calendar days. After that, a license must be purchased or the tape erased. Licenses generally grant public performance rights similar to those of the purchased videorecordings. However, specific limitations may apply. In fact all licenses and most purchases require signed contracts which specify the usage permitted.

Telecourses

Clark College participates in consortia to license telecourses through various producers. When telecourse are offered as part of the regular curriculum, videocassettes of the telecourse are available for check-out and viewing in the Library. During quarters when telecourses are not being offered the videos are not available for check-out. Faculty may preview telecourse videocassettes for possible purchase. If faculty wish to use telecourse videocassettes in the classroom, a second license must be purchased from ALS.

Production

Videorecordings may be produced by faculty, students or staff at campus events or for instructional or research purposes. These videos may be added to the Library collection and may be checked out for campus use. Copyright is not a big issue with these because the College owns the copyright and can therefore allow public performance. Should students and faculty retain their copyrights, the Library may require them to allow public performance as a condition of retention by the Library.
