[Videolib] WB Archive
Dear CW, Has anybody been able to order DVDs from the Warner Archive without paying tax? I have been trying to order a DVD from them for months, but the order form does not allow me to tell them I am tax exempt. I sent them an e-mail to ask them how I could order from them and include a tax exempt number. They responded saying they needed more information which I gave them. When I did not hear back, I e-mailed them again and they did not answer this e-mail. Now, I have a request for a second title which is in their archive. I see that Amazon is selling the WB archive titles through their site, but they charge more for them. I will be greatly appreciated any help with this problem.

Re: [Videolib] WB Archive
I think your best option is to find a different place to purchase these items. Movies Unlimited carries a good chunk them, as does Midwest Tapes and of course Amazon. I believe these companies are a little slow in getting the latest WB archive releases into their databases but they eventually do. Like Jessica said WB is not really set up for institutional orders. Some persistence with them may eventually get you the right person to talk to, but it may be too much of a hassle. It is too bad you can't absorb the taxes since in the end it would be less expensive with the generous discounts WB give for time to time.

Re: [Videolib] WB Archive
Since we are a state institution, we are prohibited from paying sales tax. We have two options when a company can't/won't honor our tax exempt status - 1. have a staff member or friend purchase the title(s) personally and pay the tax, then donate the title(s) to our library; 2. don't buy the title(s) - which has happened on a few occasions.

Re: [Videolib] WB Archive
We have been having just this problem with an order. They want us to pay tax, saying that because they are producing on demand we are not tax exempt, or that they have to charge tax. The matter has gone to the university lawyers, where I imagine it will sit indefinitely. I decided to revendor my order with Movies unlimited (www.moviesunlimited.comhttp://www.moviesunlimited.com ) who charge the same price as the Warner site. The Turner Classic Movies website also has a shop with the same prices, but don't seem to carry all the titles.

Re: [Videolib] WB Archive
Even for private universities the tax issue can be a problem. You might also consider asking your regular video vendor to place the order on your behalf, though I'm not sure whether the resulting handling fee ultimately will be cheaper than purchasing the DVDs from Amazon. We've done that on occasion with Action! Library Media, such as when a video required payment through PayPal. By the way, I've had good experiences with Action!

Re: [Videolib] WB Archive
Why do you not go through some one like Action media. Explain the situation to them, pay them with a PO and have them just bundle the tax into the price they quote you. You are not paying TAX then you are merely paying a purchaser the cost of the item. That way you do not have to wait until some one else adds a title into their database. Just send Action a fax with the items you want them to order from WB. good luck, jhs John H. Streepy Media Services Supervisor Library-Media Circulation James E.

Re: [Videolib] WB Archive
This is very unfortunate. The WB archive is doing what all movie buffs wish all studios would, make available a huge number of rare often important films. The only way they can do this is a bare bones operation in terms of both the DVD ( not extras DVD-R for now) and selling ONLY directly and not through wholesalers. Now some clever companies buy and resell the stuff, but they obviously have to charge something to do that which is likely to be more than the tax. Since WB is selling all titles at $20 and frequently has 25% off sales, they really can not afford to do anything but straight sales, as in no extra paperwork that might be needed for institutions. I will check with my contact there. I am sure they would like to encourage institutional sales, but again not enough to do anything extra. For the record I just checked one WB archive title on Amazon. Amazon sells it for $27. some Amazon seller has it for $22. It would clearly be cheaper to buy direct from WB but if it costs a few more bucks to get it past your purchasing people it is worth it. I will post next time they have a 25% off sale.

Re: [Videolib] WB Archive
As far as I know it is an all automated system geared towards consumers. I doubt you can require a company to sell anything to a particular person or institution that frankly is going to require extra work. They don't sell to wholesalers and I am pretty sure they limit quantities during the 25% off sales to limit clever wholesalers. FYI what I mean is wholesalers can buy like anyone else but they don't get a discount and have to pay upfront just like consumers. I am curious do you guys buy them and resell with an added fee to cover costs?

Re: [Videolib] WB Archive
I am confused. WB is the direct seller, you could buy from them but only if you purchase at full price and pay upfront. It probably does not work for such a large company, but I believe some of the smaller companies focused most directly on libraries carry the titles. Obviously WB discourages wholesalers/distributors from buying from them, it is not their business model. Again for a company your size it does not seem practical to buy them at full price.

Re: [Videolib] multicultural film series on the them of Veteran
Alex, you nailed it!! I think I might have heard the live broadcast also because when Dibya, my colleague here, mentioned it to me it was very familiar to me. I totally didn't think about radio however. And she swears she's seen visuals on the same issue -- I don't know, maybe the audio is so convincing that you can almost picture it in your head as a video!

A colleague of mine in multicultural counseling studies is trying to find a documentary film concerning an Iraq War vet trying to understand Islam. It is not the film of US military guard Terry Holdbrooks, who converted to Islam. It is another related story, about an American Iraqi War vet and Iraqi-American community college student meeting and working through their issues and differences. Any help would be appreciated. I seem to be striking out with a Google-fail brain freeze. 2. Said colleague would like to use this story as a kind of thematic lead for a series of 5-6 films on the theme of Veteran/Veterans. In this context I think veteran can be widely interpreted, from something *about* veterans, in the sense of Coming Home perhaps (not a documentary, I realize) to videos more conceptual in approach. Veterans of immigration conflicts, for instance. If any of you have some suggestions I would greatly appreciate any serious tips. If any of you have some recent productions that might fit, that would be of interest also.

Re: [Videolib] Academic Libraries with Genocide Collections in Media
Hi Rue, We don't officially teach Genocide Studies, but between a class on Survivors and programming by the Peace Institute, I feel like I have a de facto curriculum. If it was purchased with library money, it lives in the Library. If it's in the Library, it's in the catalog and WorldCat. All videos not on reserve are in open stacks and circulate for one week. No, we do not have separate subject libraries in other campus locations. I don't know what films are owned by departments/offices since those materials are purchased with departmental and/or personal funds and are therefore not cataloged anywhere.

I am beginning an assessment of our Library's media collection dealing with genocide (in very broad terms). I feel we have a relatively strong collection both in content and accessibility, and this area is an ongoing collection development focal point for me. As a very preliminary starting point, I would greatly appreciate hearing from other academic libraries regarding the following: * Does your institution have an identified program in Genocide Studies and/or a Genocide Studies Center? * If so, does the Library purchase media materials in support of Genocide Studies, and are these materials a part of the Library's general media collection? (as opposed to a closed, departmental, or special collection) * Are these materials cataloged and available in your OPAC? Do they circulate? * How is your institution's library system arranged? The USF Tampa Campus has a centralized library as opposed to official Departmental, School, College or Graduate/Undergraduate individual libraries across the campus. Ultimately my assessment will include comparative reports using tools such as WorldCat Collection Analysis as appropriate. And I will be also be looking at the identification of vendors handling this type of content. I'm aware of many, but it's a 'big world' out there. Any and all information is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Re: [Videolib] WB Archive
My guess is they have a complex legal structure and WB home video is a separate legal entity and has no physical presence in New York. I think they probably do not charge tax anywhere outside of CA, but that you need to check the website ordering system as opposed to asking strange as that may sound. I have asked my friend there to look into making it more friendly to institutional orders, but the bottom line is they are not going to do anything that requires any paperwork on their end. Since their titles are not carried by the major distributors and since they are no frills DVD-R ( but very nicely done) they fly under the radar of many libraries. I urge folks to check them out as it is an extraordinary collection at very cheap prices and the more they sell, the more rare films they can put out.

As far as I know, companies are not required to collect sales tax on internet sales if they don’t have a bricks-and-mortar presence of any sort in the state where the buyer resides (or is having the item shipped to?) although a lot of companies collect it regardless. Of the ones that don’t, a non-tax exempt buyer is responsible for paying the sales tax directly to their local tax entity, although most do not do so. Jana Atkins, B.M., M.L.S.

I went on the WB archive web site went through the motions of ordering and it did not charge any sales tax. I live in NYC, so hard to imagine they would charge Illinois. Did you actually attempt an order and get charged tax ? Anyone else order from them directly outside of CA and get charged tax?

I have been trying to order a DVD from them for months, but the order form does not allow me to tell them I am tax exempt. I sent them an e-mail to ask them how I could order from them and include a tax exempt number. They responded saying they needed more information which I gave them. When I did not hear back, I e-mailed them again and they did not answer this e-mail. Now, I have a request for a second title which is in their archive. I see that Amazon is selling the WB archive titles through their site, but they charge more for them. I will be greatly appreciated any help with this problem.
