The Academic Libraries Video Trust is a service facilitating the preservation of audiovisual (“AV”) works in the collections of member libraries. The principal activity of ALVT is to provide a clearinghouse or repository of digital versions of selected AV works, generally works currently available only in the obsolete VHS format. The service is built on opportunities allowed to libraries and archives for the preservation and replacement of works in their collections, pursuant to Section 108 of the U.S. Copyright Act. Video Trust offers this service in order to encourage the preservation and appreciation of the educational films, motion pictures, documentaries, and other works that are increasingly out of reach because of the obsolete technology.

JusticeAccess is a law library focused on meeting the legal information needs of members of the public. Our goal is to provide reference help to people who need information because of any problem that touches on law. We will have a virtual reference desk providing video or audio chat with a librarian. We also plan to have a mobile library (bookmobile) once we have the funding to secure a vehicle. All JusticeAccess services can be anonymous, and all information shared with JusticeAccess staff or volunteers will be kept confidential.
