As usual, videolib provides a lively forum for discussion, and this one in particular is fascinating. But I must say, I'm quite disturbed by the vitriolic tone of some of the responses as well as the judging and the public bullying that Maureen and Darby are having to endure. Am I the only one?

(Documentaries in the spring, so for this instance I'm appealing for help in the relatively recent feature film sector only please.) So, here is my annual plea for brainstorming help on this nebulous topic. Have you seen a feature film from a country outside the U.S. that deals with gender or women's issues in the past year or so? Please note: MUST be a feature film (NO documentaries), and MUST be from 2010 or later. Thanks in advance! -- Meghann Matwichuk, M.S.

Re: [Videolib] VHS weeding
Okay, good. :) Do you have any art you'd like me to attach to the Zinio post? Or should I just attach their logo?

First I have a list generated in Call # order for the DVD, VHS and streaming formats. This list includes total uses since 2006 (when we migrated to Milennium/now Sierra) and also Last Use date. I work through the list and mark it, looking for VHS only that has had 0 use in 5 years. If we have VHS and DVD, I look at last use on the VHS. If it was recently, it may be because the DVD was added recently, or, the DVD was out when someone wanted the content. Our system does let us look at who the last user was: faculty or student - so that is a final check to see if an instructor is using the content. Unfortunately, the streaming providers we work with are unable to give us title-level stats on use when we license a collection. Individual titles from Films Media/Films on Demand can be verified, but that's the only source where we have added streaming content one at a time.

Once the list is marked, I go to the shelves, and pull off the videos. I'm not comfortable delegating this, because there are decisions I may make, once I see the video in the subject area where it sits. The videos are then given to staff to mark as withdrawn.
