Re: [Videolib] moving to open stacks
We did this a couple of years ago and it's been wildly popular and successful. It was made easier by the fact that a few years before that, we actually put real call numbers on all of our titles, rather than having them in number order, as you appear to do. I would highly recommend cataloging all titles with real call numbers, LC or Dewey, whichever your library uses, as that will be very useful for the browsing aspect of your open collection. We security strip each DVD itself (not sure of the brand but they're small and go around the hole in the middle) and this has worked well. Yes, we've lost a few titles along the way or they've been scratched/broken but we feel the increase in availability and circulation of these titles more than makes up for it. Deb Distante Mt.

We want to keep the collection together in one place. The current filing system is by call number dv1 is the first film in the collection dv13912 is the last film in the collection. I was wondering how other libraries arranged the films in open stacks. Also do you use any security system with the open stacks?

Re: [Videolib] films on women in journalism
How about the Michelle Pfeiffer/Robert Redford movie Up Close Personal? Deb Distante Mt. San Antonio College Library 1100 N. Grand Ave. Walnut, CA 91789 909-274-4285 ddista...@mtsac.edu Oh Collective Wise Ones, Can anyone suggest some recent, or classic, films about women in journalism? For a class described thusly: JR368: Women in the Media: From Nellie Bly to Arianna Huffington, from Margaret Bourke White to Lara Logan, from Pauline Frederick to Diane Sawyer, women have struggled throughout history to pursue careers in journalism. Many suffered discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault, lower-paying salaries and the proverbial ?glass ceiling.? The major obstacle was their gender. This course will explore the history of women in the media, present day conditions, and study the issue of whether the future will provide gender parity.

Re: [Videolib] Magills Cinema Annual - keep or discard?
We still get Magills. We have it in Reference and it's used a lot by students doing research and assignments on films. Right now, we have no plans to stop carrying it. Deb Distante Mt.

Are you all receiving this as well for your collections? I can’t determine if it continues to be a necessary and relevant source, what with online and all. Feedback is welcome.
