Not a ton more to report since our meeting last week, but I have followed up on the points discussed, namely setting up a meeting with Alison Smith, the Associate Director of Stock Sales and Licensing at WGBH, working in the Library and Media Archives. Alison and I will sit down on March 3rd, and prior to then my main goal will be to familiarize myself with the department's externally expressed policies via their website. In addition, I will make sure to have a solid list of questions drafted and anticipated requests for numbers/information that they are able to share with me (revenue, requests, etc.).
Casey Davis sent me a copy of the AAPB's Deed of Gift, which I have begun to review. She also put me in touch with Peter Kaufman, Associate Dir. of Columbia's Center for New Media Teaching and Learning, co-chair of JISC's Film & Sound Think Tank, and is on the board of EUScreen. He is also the founder of Intelligent TV. Casey warned me Peter was out of town for a week, but I sent an introductory email and downloaded several of his publications to read up on in advance of speaking with him, including "Assessing the Audiovisual Archive Market: Models & Approaches for Audiovisual Content Exploitation," and "Video on Wikipedia and the Open Web: A Guide for Cultural and Educational Institutions."
So right now I am heavily in reading/research mode and have begun my literature search for pieces addressing licensing, copyright, and open access in public media.
