Forty-First National Media Market to Convene in Austin, TX!<br>
<br>
The 41st National Media Market and Conference (NMM) will open on Sunday, October 21st, 2019, to run for 4 days in Austin, Texas. The nonprofit, boutique event is the only one dedicated to bringing together librarians who collect and manage film with film distributors, streaming platforms, and other media companies for commerce and knowledge.<br>
<br>
"This will be our first time in Austin, as far as I know," stated NMM Chair and Marketing Coordinator Jeff Tamblyn "and everyone on our board of directors - comprised of librarians and exhibitors - is excited to make the trip. Austin's position as a hub for independent film makes this a special opportunity for us."<br>
<br>
For librarians, educators and others who purchase and license content, the Market offers a uniquely collegial atmosphere. Erin Miller, who serves as Head of Media & Discovery Park Libraries, University of North Texas, said, "National Media Market provides a much-needed focus on the skills and knowledge of our particular library discipline. Whether your media responsibilities are full-time or part-time, what you learn and gain access to provides a huge boost in productivity and will keep you from making mistakes that can cost your institution. For me, it's an easy decision to attend."<br>
<br>
Alex Hoskyns-Abrahall, who performs dual executive roles at Bullfrog Films and Docuseek2, remarked, "Once vendors understand what they truly gain in terms of relationships, knowledge, and up-to-the-minute intelligence about our industry, they want to return as often as possible. Bullfrog and Docuseek2 go to a lot of conferences, but NMM is a centerpiece of our marketing and sales picture. We've attended the Market every year since it started."<br>
<br>
Known for its active social life, NMM also organizes evening activities that bring attendees together with vendors for fun and networking.<br>
<br>
NMM's newest 'side-project,' the Academic Libraries Video Trust (ALVT), has also drawn attention by creating a cooperative, cloud-based repository of digital files from VHS-based content that qualifies for copying under Section 108 of U.S. Copyright Law. Originally funded by the late deg farrelly, a highly respected media librarian, ALVT will hold a users' group session annually at the Market, beginning in Austin. "We'll announce the details shortly," said Tamblyn, "but librarians from ALVT member institutions are going to qualify for significant registration discounts to this year's Market."<br>
<br>
Whole-event passes to NMM will sell for $349, and for $249 during the Early-Bird registration period. They'll include a welcome reception, buffet lunches, all professional development sessions, and access to exhibitor suites. The main location is the Embassy Suites Austin Central.<br>
<br>
Further information and a complete schedule of events will be posted as it becomes available at <a href="http://nmm.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">nmm.net</a>.

Good Afternoon,<br>
<br>
Like many other institutions out there, we too are grappling with the best way to utilize KANOPY to serve our population.<br>
<br>
I enjoyed reading the discussions earlier this year on ERIL-L about funding KANOPY DDA transactions. Given some time has passed by now, I was wondering if any libraries that moved from unmediated to mediated access, had any regrets? It would be very helpful in our deliberations.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
I haven't felt any regrets from our move to mediated access at all. Aside<br>
from a brief surge of requests in the early weeks, we haven't had anything<br>
happen to cause us regret for our decision.<br>
<br>
I would absolutely echo all of Lynne's considerations, though. We also<br>
moved to mediated in the middle of the semester and caused some mild<br>
concern among our patrons. It was not fun, and I 100% recommend not<br>
repeating that mistake. I would also echo the recommendation to prepare for<br>
the time necessary to process Kanopy orders, especially when you initially<br>
switch over. I didn't personally find the time necessary all that<br>
bothersome, but I could see how it could be an issue for folks in different<br>
circumstances (more pressing duties elsewhere, larger campus with more<br>
requests, etc.).<br>
<br>
One strategy that I've also found fairly useful in handling requests is to<br>
become comfortable with the producers/distributors of commonly requested<br>
films, and where they usually license their streaming content. If I see a<br>
request come in for a film that *California Newsreel *or *PBS *handles,<br>
for example, I know that there's a fairly good chance we may already have<br>
it in one of our Alexander Street Press collections.<br>
<br>
To reiterate my answer, though, no. We haven't felt any regret with this<br>
move thus far. Just by ordering series in packages or directing<br>
faculty/students to other platforms where we've already licensed the<br>
content, we have managed to save nearly $4000 in unnecessary/inefficient<br>
license purchases since mid-September. Our faculty, staff, and students<br>
have been very understanding (spending lots of time explaining this change<br>
to them helped!), and I feel very safe calling this change a success.<br>
<br>

<br>
We moved to a partial mediated access model, due to the fact we had a lot of duplication with Alexander Street Press. We removed the Documentary Educational Resources videos from unmediated access due to the duplication. So it is a somewhat customized PDA collection pool. Our collections librarian receives the requests for DER videos through Kanopy, and usually sends the requestor access through ASP.<br>
<br>
We also review our Kanopy invoice monthly and check against our catalogue. If there is a title on the Kanopy invoice that is a duplicate of a streaming title owned or accessible elsewhere (ie. ASP), we provide a screenshot and Kanopy will send us an updated invoice. I would encourage others to do this if they aren?t already. We often save a couple hundred dollars per invoice by checking for duplicates.<br>
<br>
Kanopy seems to have better records in EDS than some of the other streaming databases, so often their records appear first in results. The records are different enough that deduplication doesn?t happen, and the user clicks on the Kanopy record for access.<br>
<br>
It becomes trickier if you use EBSCO?s holdings management and want to include Kanopy records, as it is much harder to narrow down collections. If you are just loading catalogue records it gives you more ability to limit the records that display to users.<br>
<br>
We evaluate usage at the end of a title?s license to assess whether we want to license again, purchase, etc.<br>

Subject: [Eril-l] Kanopy DDA, Unmediated to Mediated, Any Regrets?<br>
<br>
Hi All,<br>
<br>
I haven't felt any regrets from our move to mediated access at all. Aside from a brief surge of requests in the early weeks, we haven't had anything happen to cause us regret for our decision.<br>
<br>
I would absolutely echo all of Lynne's considerations, though. We also moved to mediated in the middle of the semester and caused some mild concern among our patrons. It was not fun, and I 100% recommend not repeating that mistake. I would also echo the recommendation to prepare for the time necessary to process Kanopy orders, especially when you initially switch over. I didn't personally find the time necessary all that bothersome, but I could see how it could be an issue for folks in different circumstances (more pressing duties elsewhere, larger campus with more requests, etc.).<br>
<br>
One strategy that I've also found fairly useful in handling requests is to become comfortable with the producers/distributors of commonly requested films, and where they usually license their streaming content. If I see a request come in for a film that California Newsreel or PBS handles, for example, I know that there's a fairly good chance we may already have it in one of our Alexander Street Press collections.<br>
<br>
To reiterate my answer, though, no. We haven't felt any regret with this move thus far. Just by ordering series in packages or directing faculty/students to other platforms where we've already licensed the content, we have managed to save nearly $4000 in unnecessary/inefficient license purchases since mid-September. Our faculty, staff, and students have been very understanding (spending lots of time explaining this change to them helped!), and I feel very safe calling this change a success.<br>
