Re: [Videolib] pornographic films in the Library collection?
Way back 15 years ago, I was finishing my MLS with a culminating project looking at the video purchasing patterns of Ohio public librarians related to the MPAA ratings. Basically, I found that while R rated films was the largest group of videos being released, PG and PG-13 were evidenced in far greater numbers in library collections. X and NC-17 were virtually non-existent. The more things that change -- Michael Vollmar-Grone Director of Technical Services Shelby County Libraries 230 East North Street Sidney, OH 45365 (937) 492-6851 x.119 http://shelbyco.lib.oh.us/ http://www.facebook.com/ShelbyCountyLibraries vollm...@oplin.org 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.

As the person who started this discussion, I want to thank you all for taking part, and I now have a clearer idea of how other academic libraries deal with the issues.

Re: [Videolib] pornographic films in the Library collection?
Thanks for your kind email Matt. I am never offended by listserve comments. My concern was about the issues. Censorship really pushes my buttons. I am working in a public library now and have to worry about this all the time but really more from my administration. I keep a file of reviews (and any other worthwhile information) on films that I think I could be challenged. Bring 'em one! Best of luck to you.

Re: [Videolib] ok, enough about pornography in academic library collections!
Behind the Green Door was an early feature porn film that created a big stir. It featured the Ivory Soap Girl, who went on to act in one of David Cronenberg's early horror films Rabid. The film does have some social significance but I can't comment much on it since I have never seen it. It is an important film in the history of porn.

Re: [Videolib] pornographic films in the Library collection?
Hi Maureen/All, Sorry for the late response and I don't want to add any fuel to the fire, but feel the need to comment on something more procedural. As someone who has been responsible for cataloging what many would consider explicit material (I will not comment on the vast and highly subjective range of sexual and violent explicitness one encounters in film of all ratings), I asked that an informal, internal policy be instituted that gives the employee the choice to opt out of working with those materials they are particularly uncomfortable with or catalog the resource by the container instead of fully cataloging the item in hand (ie, watching the credits, etc). We have also decided to either forego authority control or limit the number of 'added contributors' if pseudonyms are used. Finally, if someone is fully cataloging the materials in house, I'd recommend purchasing a monitor filter so that the random passerby won't catch a glimpse of anything they may consider inappropriate. Hope this was helpful. If anyone has further questions, they can contact me off list so that we can give this group conversation a rest.

[Videolib] Listserv etiquette and update to vrtlists page
Videolib-ers, Over the years we have all benefited from many a lively, and occasionally heated, discussion. Since yesterday, I have been contacted off-list by several subscribers (librarians and distributors alike) who are profoundly disappointed and/or intimidated by some exchanges that have been interpreted as critiques or personal attacks on specific librarians' curatorial practices and/or character. I have never had such a response to a thread before, and while there are clearly some opposing and varied viewpoints here, I think we can all agree that we have reached a tone heretofore not seen on videolib. There are folks who are afraid to respond to posts-- and folks who have decided to leave us because of a lack of collegiality in communication. We have always included a sentence in the videonews subscription statement reserving the right to revoke subscriptions in the case where the intent of the list or general listserv etiquette is violated-- I have added such language to the videolib subscription statement (please see http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/vrtlists.html). Please note that name calling, personal attacks and impugning an individual librarian's (or distributor's) ethical and professional values will not be tolerated on this forum.
