Can I place a videotape I made of a PBS program on reserve? What are considered authorized audio and/or video recordings?
Permission must be sought for any off-air videos that instructors wish to place on reserve. PBS and other networks have permission clearing houses for this kind of request. The Library will not place on reserve unauthorized copies (i.e., instructor-produced): • Audio cassettes • Compact discs, including instructor created anthologies Unless the instructor has written permission from the copyright holder for each recording and each piece of music. However, authorized (i.e., legally purchased) copies of: • Video cassettes • DVDs • Audio cassettes • Compact discs …can be placed on reserve.
