Re: [Videolib] Recommended Faculty Media Development Labs

Loyola Marymount University has a Faculty Innovation Center
http://its2.lmu.edu/FIC/ located in their main library and is run by
their IT department. It is pretty awesome.
At Otis, we have a Teaching / Learning Center
http://www.otis.edu/life_otis/faculty_life/tlc/index.html in our
library; faculty can use the space to explore instructional
technologies.

Can anyone point me to any, worthy of emulating, high ed institution
faculty digital media labs (or media development lab, or
open-access development lab .. .. however the phrase may be, I think
you're catching my drift) .. . . media labs with a focus on faculty (and
maybe graduate teachers too).

Thanks

 We are finally starting to see a small problem with scratched DVDs and
are considering a disc cleaning/resurfacing machine.

 There are several on the market now  I'm wondering if there are
any clear winners in the hearts and minds of Video-Lib readers.
 Do you have experience with a disc cleaner that would lead you to
recommend it to others?  Experience to the contrary?

 Thanx.

Re: [Videolib] DVD Packaging

2010-02-08 Thread Heather Cleary
Like other libraries, we repackage the DVDs in slimlines and paper
covers. We tried covering the paper ones, but they didn't last very
long. We also have to rebox the green DVD cases -- the ones with the
cut-outs of the recycle logo and film reels. 
 
We do keep the original packaging if it's really cool, unique or
dreadful to use as examples for marketing and product design.

If we have to repackage every dvd we purchase that will add to our costs
and time. Please remember that we buy these to circulate. Thus, people
carry them about, drop them, stuff them in backpacks, drop into the
outside bookdrop, etc. We also want something that can bear a label so
patrons can find them on the shelf.

Dear Chuck, 

I'm sure librarians will voice their opinion but when we released KILLER
OF SHEEP in recycled cardboard packaging to be green, we found out that
every library was throwing away the packaging and placing them in the
plastic amaray cases to protect them better from frequent use. I don't
think it affected their buying decision but instead of be environmental
friendly, we were contributing to landfill. And collectors hate
different packaging as it turns out. We went back to amaray cases (I
think they don't mind slim cases as long as they're sturdy) for the next
releases.

We are getting ready to distribute a new title and I am

where the DVD snaps into the case. Will libraries and schools accept
slim line plastic or paper mailers that are thinner and more ecological?
