Re: [Videolib] best time of year to contact
If I were you, I would not spend the extra time/money to send paper mailings. The last respondent indicated the details that should be included in an email message. I would expect the linked order form to contain an area for an institution's tax exemption number in order to avoid having the library fax it. As far as I am concerned, virtually all paper mailings from book publishers, video distributors, etc. are immediately tossed into the trash. We rely on the faculty to make their own video selections, because we have neither time nor the money to look for supplementary materials. Helen P.

Re: [Videolib] best time of year to contact
Hey hey
I'm usually no friend of print marketing, but I sort of like those myriad
post cards that come in the mail...they tend to get my attention more than
email (given the fact that my In-box is a digital catastrophe)
gary handman
Print marketing ends up in the trash can. Emails I
can and do send to faculty to ascertain interest.
Emails should contain a thorough description (not a
thesis), a link to a 3- to 5-minute preview clip, a
list of versions (home, PPR, no PPR, streamed,
etc.), length(s), copyright/publication date,
price(s) in all their permutations, item/order #,
awards, vendor's contact information, a link to each
title's webpage that contains the above, plus a
means of ordering or placing the item in a cart from
the title's main page.
The less digging around I have to do to find
customer-essential information, the better. It's
nice to have additional information about the
producer, production process, back stories,
educational resources, etc., on the website,
but none of that should obstruct the purchasing
process.
This is probably more than you wanted, but thanks
for asking.

Re: [Videolib] best time of year to contact
Like Gary, I actually find postcards to be often quite useful in helping me to decide what to select. Ditto: the announcements that distributors post to this list about their films. And* Video Librarian *remains a great selection tool. And while I very much value the input that faculty give in what to add to the collection, I consider it my responsibility as a librarian what to ultimately decide to purchase. Cheers!

Re: [Videolib] best time of year to contact
Hi Helen (et. al.), Re: physical mail and ALA -- there is a box you can check when registering to attend ALA conferences that will keep you off their official lists, AFAIK. I always hunt down this (sometimes elusive) box; some of my colleagues don't. I get to see directly when passing out departmental mail how many trees this saves me. As for email, I get the feeling that lists such as this one are 'harvested' by vendors / distributors. I agree this is off-putting. What bothers me are the repeated emails -- it's not uncommon to get 6, 7, or three dozen emails for a single title, and half the time we've ALREADY purchased it. For those titles, I end up searching the catalog several times before the title sticks in my mind as one we've already gotten, at which point I just get annoyed. For the ones I'm not interested in, it's just a hassle to scan and delete that many messages, and I kind of resent those wasted minutes.

Re: [Videolib] best time of year to contact
One annoyance I do have is in the matter of unsolicited emails that many vendors send out in regards to new films that they are handling. No, I need to clarify that a bit. Actually such emails can be quite useful, alerting me to certain films that I might not otherwise know about. If this film is even vaguely of interest, I squirrel away the email into a folder and then review it later during those times when I devote myself heavily to that of ordering new films for the library. *What* I don't like is when certain of these distributors then contact me in follow-up to these emails they have sent out. Sometimes they phone, sometimes they email. Invariably what they have to say is something like this: Anthony, a month ago I sent you an email about our exciting new film */T//he Zebra Holocaust/* /*in Botswana*/. Haven't heard back from you and I was wondering if this is something you will be purchasing for USC? I don't know about other folks on this list, but I find such follow-ups annoying. With all the dozens of unsolicited announcements I receive about new dvds and books each week, I couldn't begin to respond to all such messages. The bottom line is this: if I am interested in ordering a particular film, I will order it. If I am not, I won't. Contacting me in such follow-ups will no way persuade me to go ahead and order it; if anything, it just might have the opposite effect. :o And, yes, it is also annoying (as someone else pointed out today) that having once purchased a particular film, a distributor continues to send me time after time emails urging me to purchase the film. And this often after so informing the distributor that we have the film and they still continue to send me such announcements :o :o And one final rant(ette): if receiving an email informing me of a new documentary that every library must have, then I know that it is not a dvd for us. :o :o :o Cheers (again), :-) Anthony *** Anthony E.

Re: [Videolib] PPR for The Nasty Girl
Well it seems very likely it no longer has any US rights holder. It has never been released in the US on DVD. It has however been released in the UK, by a company I never heard of called Arrow that seems to have a lot of good stuff. This is a bit of a long shot, but I would email Arrow because whoever the licensed it from either is or knows who is the owner that you could deal with, however you would either have to have a legit VHS and be willing to use that or a UK Pal import that the rights holder is willing to license. If all else fails check with Goethe Institute in NYC or DC and they may have some tips for tracking rights down.

[Videolib] recommendation for films
Hello CW, I have a faculty member teaching Women and Writing this Fall and she would like to show a film with these parameters: ..maybe a film they have seen before or a more subtle indictment of the sexism faced by both females and males. One of my favorite quotes from an essay is that while women are seen as sex objects, men are seen as success objects. I guess I am trying to find a film that shows this dynamic. I suggested von Trier, Lynch and Labute (since they always get criticized on these issues). I also suggested Film Noir in general, and of course, Disney films. Other suggestions would be welcome.

Re: [Videolib] recommendation for films
Hi Lorraine, Sounds like you already suggested it indirectly, but Labute's /In the Company of Men/ might be perfect. I wrote a paper on that one in college and argued it could be considered a feminist film since the male power dynamic is the real subject of the film -- the submissive male is more victimized than the woman, who has the strength to walk away at the end.

Re: [Videolib] recommendation for films
Well, I'm not sure about the second half (though it's about how women choose their paths between success and failure) we do have a very favorite movie, Jane Campion's TWO FRIENDS (recent review herehttp://www.thelmagazine.com/TheMeasure/archives/2010/12/17/two-friends-jane-campions-debut-study-of-fragile-female-relationships-plays-this-weekend) that also was written by the wonderful author, Helen Garner. We even just recently reduced the price of the DVD. But, wait there's more... The bonus feature is Jane's first short film MISHAPS OF SEDUCTION AND CONQUEST a historical film which features young man trying to be the first to climb Mount Everest while his younger brother in an office is trying to successfully explore his young secretary. (Both fail badly.)

If she really wants something students have already seen I'd suggest any number of Mad Men episodes. Of course, it's the '60's so there's not a whole lot of subtlety.
