Hello,
I'm doing some research on academic libraries and policies governing the purchase of public performance rights for scholarly media. I'm hoping that you all can provide me with some insight as to how your institution determines whether the library should be responsible for the purchase of screening rights. I would appreciate it if anyone could provide me with answers to any the questions below:
* Do you buy blanket performance rights with all titles that offer them?
* If a faculty member or department needs PPR on a title in the library's collection for which it was not initially purchased, will the library retroactively purchase a screening license for that title?
* If a distributor does not offer PPR with the purchase of a title but rather requires that you purchase a one-time screening license for each showing of the film on campus (as is the case with Swank) does the library purchase the license?
* Do you have a special budget that covers costs related to PPR or do these charges come from your general library materials budget?
* Do you have an official library policy relating to the purchase of PPR?
Thanks!
