Many of the videos and DVDs in the library collection do not include public performance rights. These rights are needed if:

• You plan to show a film for your club or student organization, or
• A screening is open to the public. This includes an instructor showing a video as part of the curriculum, but inviting people who are not enrolled in the class to attend. It also includes small groups who want to view a movie for entertainment in a public space.

Public performance rights are not needed for classroom-related screenings or private screenings. Please inquire at the circulation counter in the Wong Audio/Visual Center at Sinclair Library,  for further information.

Films or videos for which the Library has non-theatrical public performance rights, may be advertised and promoted only on campus. None of this promotion may say that the public is invited. In general, all off-campus promotion is prohibited, including posters and flyers, unless for those specific titles for which the Library has obtained full public performance rights.
