Videotapes: Duplication

• Copyrighted videos (tapes or DVDs) can be duplicated only with written permission from the producer/ distributor.
• Blank videocassettes and hard plastic cases are available in the library

Off-Air Taping

• Cable in the Classroom is available for perusal in the library and contains month by month listing of educational programs available for recording from cable television channels (you can also check the schedule online here http://www.ciconline.org/search-listings)
• Fill out a request form in the library for each program you want taped
• We must have it in writing – it's the law
• Be sure to indicate whether you want VHS or DVD
• Remember that Discovery Education Streaming (formerly United Streaming) will have most videos from Discovery Education for you to download and use; iTunes frequently has programs listed in Cable in the Classroom as well
• Any program may be taped off air and used for class within 10 school days. These must be erased after use unless permission is received to keep it.
• Some programs may be taped and kept without limit. Information on keeping or erasing will be included in the information from Cable in the Classroom.
