----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Since the discussion of PBS videos has come up, I just thought I'd mention that our director, Diane Rider, called PBS the other day to ask about copyright and the viewing of PBS videos in classrooms. She was informed that for classes under 35 students, it was okay to show. More then that would be considered an infringement of the rules of public showing. Some faculty, of course, have scoffed at "being checked" but it has brought up an interesting dilemma as to how many videos (PBS or otherwise) we should purchase for professors who teach larger classes. Just thought I'd mention it....
