Purchasing/Ordering Information The Library Audio Visual Department is the acquisition center for all campus DVD/Video purchases. This campus policy was instituted to ensure licensing agreements were appropriate for classroom face-to-face teaching, and to help control duplication of titles and inventory. These videos will be cataloged and available to faculty in all departments. Additionally, these may be checked out to academic departments on a long-term basis. While video recordings with Public Performance Rights usually cost significantly more than those for Home Use Only, the Library will make every reasonable effort to purchase materials with Public Performance Rights or at least with Educational Performance rights in order to ensure compliance with Copyright laws and regulations. Faculty specifying Home Use Only version on their requests for video recordings or supplying Home Use Only video recordings will be informed of the policy and provided with the prices of the Public Performance versions whenever possible. Your library acquisitions budget may be used for DVD/Video purchases. Many distributors offer discounts for these acquisitions. Contact your library liaison and/or Mark Kump at extension 7571 or mkump@gustavus.edu. See the Library's complete Collection Development Policy for other considerations.
