hi again

I'm gonna forward my reply (below) and you query to the list.

in order to stream to the classroom you need a laptop with wireless or IP
network access and you need a projector that will handle digital output
(which is most of them)

Progressive downloads (streaming) is a pain in the ass.  Don't go there!

All that said, I would NEVER (ever) recommend that a faculty person opt
for streamed delivery over DVD.  I consider myself somewhat savvy and
possessing considerable sang froid when it comes to using tech to teach,
and I can tell you from considerable experience that it's always a total
crap shoot--an experience totally dependent on network vagaries and
equipment quirks.

Classes here start at 10 min after the hour, typically, which means you
have 5-10 minutes to run into the class, boot out whomever is in there
milling around from the previous class, whip out your lap top, VGA and
audio cables, find the input box and hook them up, test the sound level,
pray that the projector is working and that the network is not acting
hinky.

Not my idea of a good time.

Our library would like to borrow this film from another library for one of our

It is not in the World Catalog where I usually borrow from.

The film Shi (Poetry) is a Korean film which recently won at the Cannes Film 
Festival. We are trying to find a showing for it anywhere in the USA or a place 
to buy it. My last resort is to ask all of you on this list. You can email me 
off list if you like or on list.

Alas, we cannot afford the software because of Rosetta Stone's requirements, 1 
software package only on 1 computer. It is great software though.

We have several faculty members who are asking the library to get Rosetta Stone 
language CD-ROMs. We are not sure if this is possible because of copyright law 
since it has to be installed on computers and patrons have to log-in. Does 
anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.
