[Videolib] FW: UltraViolet -- opinions?
Sorry, Rick, that did sound harsh, I suppose. I guess I just think that it tends to work better for teachers/professors when specific needs are met with specific titles, rather than when an institution or consortium buys a huge catalog of ready-made stuff that they're then told they should pick from. I'm sorry if that sounds snobbish.

Re: [Videolib] FW: UltraViolet -- opinions?
After looking at this Ultraviolet, one impact I can see is that if we as a library buy something physical by one of the partners in this UV group, then we also have access to a digital copy that we can play on a digital devise, so, it can in fact double the usable copies in the collection, if a student has a video checked out, we can offer to some one else who wants to watch it via a device in the library that digital copy. Have a few iPads (If Apple ever signs on) or some similar device to check out. It could be helpful in the case of high demand items. jhs John H.

Snagfilms is the owner of the esteemed IndieWire -- the most important news service on indie films (and its free to subscribe). I don't know their releases or services, but I suspect they're pretty good. Dennis On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 3:23 PM, Foster, Jennifer wrote: > I had not heard of SnagFilms – am I the only one?

I'm sorry if that sounds snobbish. It does sound snobbish, but I'm retired so I guess I'm beyond it. My career as a Media Director in K-12 was focused on purchasing video materials for the circulating library that closely matched the curricula of our local schools. Many, if not most, of the vendors I dealt with went to great lengths to acquire and/or produce materials that were a match to the curricula of our schools, and we painstakingly previewed and reviewed the materials for that curricular match. Is that different than what you snobs do?
