Re: [Videolib] Weeding DVD policy?

2013-08-05 Thread Jessica Rosner
You are really making me feel old at the idea of weeding DVDs. Hard to
imagine they have been around long enough to weed but unless you are
desperate for space and they don't take up that much I would be cautious
and certainly not dump anything that is not currently in print.

[Videolib] Weeding DVD policy?

2013-08-05 Thread Moshiri, Farhad
A keyword search for weeding in Videolib archive shows only discussion of 
weeding of 16mm films and VHS tapes. Do you have any weeding policy for DVDs? 
For example, do you weed out DVDs from your collection if they are not 
circulated in 5 years, 10 years, etc.?

Hi all. 

Is there a directory of film/media librarians out there somewhere? I've been 
looking for some time now, and have exhausted all my usual avenues. 

Thanks in advance for your help,
