- Library and Classroom Use of Copyrighted Videotapes and Computer Software. Reed, Mary Hutchings Stanek, Debra Computer Software Copyrights Elementary Secondary Education Legal Responsibility Public Libraries School Libraries Videotape Recordings Designed to provide guidance for librarians, this publication expresses the opinion of the legal counsel of the American Library Association (ALA) regarding library and classroom use of copyrighted videotapes and computer programs. A discussion of videotapes considers the impact of the Copyright Revision Act of 1976 on in-classroom use, in-library use in public libraries, and loan and duplication of videotapes. Computer software concerns addressed include purchase conditions generally, avoiding license restrictions, loaning software, archival copies, and in-library and in-classroom use. Finally, 19 questions about the use of videotapes or computer software in the library or classroom are presented, and the appropriate response to each situation is provided. (KM)
