Re: [Videolib] Video Selection: Subject Selector or Media Specialist?
At William Paterson University, it's a shared role. As the media librarian, I oversee the collection making sure there are not gaps and we have subjects that bring different perspectives. However, the subject librarians meet regularly with their faculty and know the curriculum. I work with them on finding out what they needs are and then make recommendations. In order for us to have a collection, both print and media that supports the curriculum, we need to share the responsibility. The subject librarian will then know what to suggest to faculty in both formats and they will have more of an ownership of the collection. Being one person, I cannot spend the time with individual faculty, but with the assistance of the subject librarians, we succeed in obtaining titles they need to support their teaching. There is education that is needed and I have spent many workshops with the subject librarians in educating them about media and the sources to check for titles in their disciplines. It's ongoing, but I feel that it works for us and I am not overwhelmed since I too take care of all the computer and media equipment support in the classrooms. Jane B.

Re: [Videolib] Netflix streaming now in Canada
That's great to hear, Dennis. When the cost is only $8/month (or the cost of 2 lattes), students and faculty can potentially get their own personal accounts and watch what they need on their own laptops or viewing devices on their own time, without ever visiting a library. This obviously does not deal with the issue of teaching, on campus, and classroom use, but if the streaming catalogue improves to the point of having titles that are minimally in the Film Studies canon, it may take off as an alternate way of students getting access to materials without having the material on university servers. Rather than buying an additional textbook they get a personal subscription to Netflix. Personally, I would prefer to watch a Blu-ray on a THX-certified 65 1080p monitor, but many people would prefer the convenience of having instant accessibility.

Re: [Videolib] The Paper Clip Project
Yes that is the feature film PAPER CLIPS. I am not sure if you are looking for a copy which per above are widely available or are trying to track down rights. It was briefly released by Miramax but I believe the filmmaker took it over directly and probably controls any exhibition rights.
