The Digital Library of Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) records and publishes videos of classes and other activities for the purpose of education and research.
In March 2024, as part of the library system renewal, the Lecture Video System that uses the Panopto video platform will replace the current library class archiving system.
In addition to the conventional “open access” and “Limited access only for NAIST faculty, staff, and students”, the Lecture Video System can also be used to release videos to students who are enrolled in the class and for the class period only.

※By applying the “Compensation System for Public Transmission for Educational Purposes", third-party copyrighted works can be used in classes via the Internet without obtaining prior permission.
Operational Guideline for Article 35 of the Amended Copyright Act (Fiscal Year 2021 Edition) is published by the Stakeholder Forum concerning the educational use of works. Please refer to the link before using copyrighted material.
As for the use of third party materials, you can choose open access or limited access only for NAIST faculty, staff, and students as before by satisfying the citation requirements.
Please make your choice after considering how to use third-party works in lectures and how convenient it is for students to use them.

The Lecture Video System automatically records the class using a fixed camera installed in the classroom.
In addition to recording the instructor and the screen, the system also records materials projected on the screen.
Since sound from the microphone will be recorded for the class video, etc., please be sure to use a microphone.
Class instructors are requested to inform students in advance that their classes are being recorded.
As a general rule, recording time will not be extended, so please be aware of the start and end times of classes (classes in two consecutive periods will be recorded separately).

Apart from automatic recording by appointment, you can provide MP4 or other videos for publication in the Lecture Video System.
It is also possible to record using a handheld camera or your own PC camera with software installed.
If you wish to borrow a handheld camera, please contact us in advance at the address below.
Please refer to the following list of other items to be considered when recording video of classes, etc.

Those lectures for master’s course students whose lecturers permit recording will be made available.
Additionally, some special lectures or seminars will be recorded and made available upon receiving.
The following 10 classrooms are eligible for recording. If you wish to record in a classroom not included in the list, please contact us at the address below.

Please request the recording of classes, etc. held in the classrooms to be recorded by one of the following methods to the address below.

【For class subjects】

In principle, the Information and Digital Library Services Division does not edit recorded videos (period-limited contents), but faculty members in charge are authorized to edit the video using the lecture video system as needed.
The editor can delete portions of the video, etc. Please refer to the Panopto Operation Manual (to be released at a later date) for details on how to edit.
If you wish to have your video edited by a TA, please contact us at the address below.

There are three options: "open access" which can be viewed by anyone, "only for NAIST faculty, staff, and students" which can be viewed only by members of the NAIST, or "only for registered students" which can be viewed only by students enrolled in the classes.
Please note that if you have chosen the "only for registered students" option, students who have not registered for a class will not be able to watch the video before taking the class. Please understand this in advance.
You can choose from the following three options: "Until the end of September," "Until the end of March," or "Long-term recording as an archive”. Please note that if you select "only for registered students" as the disclosure scope, the period will be "course period only".
Please click here for public information and links for each class subject.

Caution:
If you select "only for registered students" as the scope of release and use the Compensation System for Public Transmission for Educational Purposes, you may be asked to report about this in a survey to be conducted.
The survey will not only cover class recordings, but also materials posted on the syllabus. We ask for your cooperation in managing the sources of third-party works used, etc., and in conducting the survey.
In addition, use that is not limited to the course period is not subject to this system. When applying this system to materials published in the syllabus, please be careful to manage the period of release to students.
(*Use of copyrighted materials by citation (those that meet the requirements for citation) will not be included in this survey.)

The recorded video will be distributed via the Lecture Video System. Live streaming delivery is also available upon request.
Please note that videos stored in the Lecture Video System will be deleted after about two years.
Therefore, videos to be archived for a longer period of time will be switched to distribution through the library system after a certain period of time.
Please note that period-limited contents are not subject to the library's collection search on the library website.

The Lecture Video System is also able to produce access statistics on Panopto.
Please refer to the Panopto Operation Manual (to be released at a later date) for information on how to output statistics.
