Re: [Videolib] online streaming sources for short films?

2013-08-26 Thread Bergman, Barbara J
IndieFlix video streaming has a lot of short films in its collection (Half of 
the 2000 titles are under 40 minutes).
Library subscriptions are managed by Recorded Books. I don't know what the 
pricing structure is, but I like what I've seen of the content  interface.

Subject: [Videolib] online streaming sources for short films?

Happy end of summer/new term everyone!  Here at Emerson it is becoming apparent 
that short films are all the rage with film faculty-does anyone know of good 
online sources them?

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.


[Videolib] Suggestions for an introductory video for comparative politics?

2013-08-26 Thread Deg Farrelly
Whoo boy!  I don't even really understand what the professor is asking for 
here….

So I turn to the Borg collective here to see if anyone can suggest titles to 
address this faculty member's request.

Thanx for your help!

In my Introduction to Comparative Politics class, I begin the course with a 
discussion of what is comparative politics and then turn to a discussion of 
situated knowledge as one form of knowledge production as opposed to liberal 
universalistic approaches to knowledge production.  Then I turn to approaches 
to comparative politics--rational choice theory and political ethnography--to 
show how these approaches are tied to different forms of knowledge.

[Videolib] PPR for You don't know Jack?

2013-08-26 Thread Victoria Sciuk
I'm new to this list, and couldn't see archives to search for this, so 
please bear with me. Two professors want to screen or stream two different 
HBO Films docudramas in class. They are not available in our Swank/ 
Digital Campus, Films on Demand or VAST/Alexander Street. My college is 
not non-profit, so I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of 
who to contact for PPR rights?

1) You Don't Know Jack - HBO Films, TV docudrama about Jack Kevorkian, 
starring Al Pacino. (DVDs distributed by Warner Home Video). 
2) Too Big to Fail - HBO Films. TV docudrama about 2008 financial crisis 
and decision on bank bailouts (DVDs distributed by Warner Home Video). 

 Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Vicki
