Loaning materials to other institutions really has nothing whatsoever to
do with copyright or with fair use (unless the lender is specifically
aware that the materials being loaned will be used in ways which
infringe). The right to loan copyrighted materials is covered (still, I
believe) under the First Sale Doctrine of the copyright law. It's
generally the end-user's responsibility to adhere to copyright.

<excerpt><smaller>Dear VidLibers:
I find this listserv very informative and engaging and glad that I can
participate and respond to queries that concern all of us. With respect
to ILL of AV materials, CUNY (The City University of New York) is
currently attempting to deal with this
as well. Overall, many of us in media are concerned about the copyright
issues, and as a result have heard some horror stories on this subject.
We are all aware of the ongoing developments in copyright law. At the
same time the technology has
gone through a metamorphosis that has not stopped. This has had a
positive and
negative effect on the educational needs of our students, faculty and
staff. While I
promote the use of ILL for fair use across campuses, and universities,
there appears to be no standard policy nation-wide, much less state wide,
depending upon who you talk to. When I peruse
<<http://www.cetus.org/>http://www.cetus.org/ the issues are even more
complicated than before. Obviously vendors are in the thick of this
debate and any Instructor who wants to use <bold><italic>Saving Private
Ryan</italic> to his or her History class risks being sued by the
copyright owner. The lack of any standardized "fair use guidelines"
across the board for educational multimedia places a huge burden
on educators who are encouraged to utilize many of today's new teaching
technologies. The debate continues......

Kim,
At UCSD we circulate videos on campus & via ILL to other academic
institutions. We do not circulate or ILL film prints. We have never
had a
problem w/ ILL.
