The EKU University Ensemble from 1971.
While I was working on this lesson, Nicole emailed about EKU ResNet videos on You Tube. While searching for Eastern Kentucky University, I ran across this video, which is really cool. The videographer (for lack of a better term) set photos of the University Ensemble, which were scanned by us, to a digitized version of one of their songs. He/She did an excellent job and created a nice video showcasing photos that haven't been looked at for years.
The question that arises, for the archives especially, is copyright and use rules. Since images and use fees are a part of our revenue stream, where do we draw the line between fair use and substantial use fees for public display of numerous images. Should all our images be free and available to all who wish to use them?But that wasn't the lesson, was it? The ResNet videos give us some idea of how You Tube can be used in an academic setting. I was thinking that some type of video highlighting some of the really cool items in our collections would be nice.
