[Videolib] Christmas DVD

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all,

Sorry for the cross posting, but this is a shameless plug for a title well 
known to those of us who grew up in the Chicago area in the 50s, 60s and 70s.  
The DVD Hardrock, Coco & Joe, also containing Suzy Snowflake, Frosty the 
Snowman, and Peter Cottontail, is available from Chicago's Museum of Broadcast 
History.  The cost is $29.99.  Here's the link: 
https://squareup.com/market/museum-of-broadcast-communications/item/hardrock-coco-and-joe.
  Enjoy, and Merry Christmas! O lee-o-lay-dee, o lay-dee- I - ay. . .

[Videolib] Sheet Music Collection

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all,

Here's my ad about our sheet music collection at the Santori location of the 
Aurora Public Library.  Pass on to all your reference staff, please, and if you 
are at a college or university, the Music Department folks.  Thanks so much!

This is just a note to advertise the Alice Doty Wernicke sheet music collection 
at the Santori location of the Aurora Public Library.  This is a 22 file 
cabinet collection, 95% classical music of all types - solo, small chamber 
groups - duos, trios, small orchestral sets, piano, organ, vocal  and more.  
Wernicke was a music teacher in Aurora for many years, and performed in the 
Chicago metro area in the first half of the 1900s.  Some of the sheet music 
dates to the 1880s.  Generally, the collection has been pretty static since the 
1960s.  We do have music books - popular collections, show tunes, folk music, 
that are more contemporary, as well.

A very charming thing about some of the music - there are notations on the 
music indicating where it was performed - Junior Women's Club, June 8, 1910, 
for example.

Most of the music is in fairly good shape, a lot of it has been bound with sewn 
bindings.  Some are just put together with cellophane folders.  For all sets, 
each piece has an individual card/barcode, so the whole set needs to be checked 
out, not just an individual piece.
Now, the huge caveat - not all of this is in the library's database.  The music 
has been barcoded as it circulated, so there is a great deal that hasn't gone 
out.  This means that all the music is not in our computer catalog. However, we 
still have the original card catalog for this.  So, if you or your patrons are 
looking for sheet music collection titles, check the online catalog.  The call 
letters for the collection are  MS for  Music on the Shelf and MF for Music in 
the Files, which is the Wernicke collection.  Sheet music checks out for 8 
weeks, and there is the option for 2 renewals of 8 weeks each if no one is 
waiting for the item. Wernicke is the collection's name, but there is no 
indication in the catalog about that.  If you don't see what you need there, 
contact the reference desk at 630-264-4101.  This is the Santori reference desk 
number.  Or you can email us, also.  I wouldn't necessarily recommend using our 
"Ask a Librarian," tab for this.  This is manned on different d
 ays at different locations, and not all the folks at the other locations are 
familiar with the sheet music collection.
This is a great historical collection, and deserves to have some use!

I'm here for 2 more weeks, so if you have questions, feel free to contact me.

[Videolib] Sad news

[Tatar, Becky]

Hello, all,

I am sad to report that as of August 19, I'm being laid off after 34 ½ years at 
the Aurora Public Library, due to declining revenues and elimination of my job. 
 I am one of 21 such cuts, 11 full time and 10 part time.  I hope to continue 
to follow this list while I'm unemployed, and when I find a new job.  I just 
want to say thank you to all of you.  I have learned so much from everyone on 
this list now, and in the past.  I tell everyone about my friends on this list, 
even though I may have met only a few of you in person when ALA happened to be 
in Chicago.  So, and here's a shameless plug, if anyone knows of any reference 
librarian openings in the western suburbs of Chicago. . . or a similar type of 
job in a non library setting - I'm your girl!

Hi, all,

We are doing a job description, and would like to know how to phrase something. 
 It would be in regard to knowing about streaming issues, public performance 
rights issues, etc.  It's not really content management, but possibly less than 
Knowledge of Copyright and Intellectual Property Issues.  Thanks!

[Videolib] Television viewing in library

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all,

We are looking into  having a program at the library where people can come and 
watch the Olympics.  I'm sure there is a broadcasting fee involved, but do we 
contact NBC Sports about this, or the USOC?  Would this be similar to all the 
sports bars and restaurants that have a myriad of televisions showing all the 
sports games?  Thanks bunches.

[Videolib] TV Series question

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all,

I have a patron looking for a TV series or mini-series, that was about a woman 
who ran a perfume factory, or made perfumes. She thinks it was in the 80s.   
Doing a cursory search in imdb yielded far too many titles.  I also thought 
about something by Judith Krantz, or Barbara Taylor Bradford, both whose books 
were popular mini series in the 80s, but initial keyword searches in our 
catalog didn't bring up anything.  I know someone here knows it.  Thanks a lot!

Re: [Videolib] Blu-ray Collection Development Policies

[Tatar, Becky]

We don't really have a policy per se.  We don't have a specific Blu-Ray 
collection, but we do purchase the combo packs - Disney, Criterion, when 
released.  Or, if a film receives great reviews, but is only released on 
Blu-Ray, we'll also get that.  For a while, one of our branch selectors was 
getting Blu-Ray of top releases, but she wasn't aware that we really didn't 
collect them.  Part of the whole issue comes down to budget.  We just don't 
have it.  I hope this helps.

Re: [Videolib] When to put DVDs in security cases?

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, Heather,

Here is the link for the company – they are based in England, but this is the 
US site:  http://www.bibliotheca.com/3/index.php/en-us/ .  Here is the page 
with the various check out kiosks, we use the SmartServe 400 on the next to the 
bottom row. 
http://www.bibliotheca.com/3/index.php/en-us/our-solutions/self-service.
Here’s what the towers look like.  Each carousel in a tower has 100 slots, but 
only 99 are filled.  Because we tagged the discs with a Stingray tag, that made 
the discs too big for the slots.  The company had to readjust the carousels, so 
ours only hold 98.  Right now, we have 17 towers for Adult Services and 6 for 
Childrens.  These are only at our Santori location; the 2 branches don’t have 
the theft issues we have.

Some of the problems – discs don’t want to dispense.  And who knows why?  Or, 
if patrons don’t retrieve the discs fast enough, the machines suck them back 
in, and as I tell patrons, then we have to go through all kinds of monkey steps 
to figure out what happened.  When they work, they work, but when not. . . .  
Also, they are very labor intensive to load up.  Each disc is individually 
loaded, which takes time.  With the size of our collection, we have 3 check out 
kiosks, so our collection is divided into 3 colors, with stickers on the cases, 
blue, green & red.  The dispensers are similarly labeled.  So if a case has a 
blue label on it, you go to the blue kiosk to check out and the discs come out 
of the connecting towers.  Patrons often go to the wrong kiosk, and then wonder 
why their discs didn’t dispense.  We spend a lot of time helping people check 
out. As I said, when they work, they work, and when not, it can be a variety of 
problems.  However, our theft rate has greatly decreased!  Hope this helps.

Dear Collective Wisdom,

Our library DVDs are open-stack, in security cases.  We'd like to save money by 
not casing all our DVDs.  Have other academic libraries tried this?  If so, 
what categories of DVDs do you case, and which do you leave un-cased?  And, how 
has this worked out for you?
We're particularly interested in responses from schools like Wellesley-- 
liberal arts colleges not in major cities-- but would love to hear your story, 
whatever kind of school yours is.
many thanks,

[Videolib] Christmas DVD

Hi, all,

Does anyone know if the 1979 TV show "John Denver & the Muppets: A Christmas 
Together," has been released on DVD?  I checked World Cat, but the only thing 
there is a VHS tape that looks like it was done for a Peabody Award 
nominations.  This is one of my very favorite Christmas cds, so the DVD would

Re: [Videolib] RFID Stingray overlays

[Tatar, Becky]

Like the old line says – JUST SAY NO!  We are using Biblioteca’s DVD 
dispensers.  Somehow, through a massive miscommunication, and we are not sure 
where on the chain it started,  we started using stingray covers on our DVDs.  
For our nonfiction, no problem – they aren’t in the dispensers.  Why we had to 
have them on the discs going into the dispensers, I don’t know.  The dispensers 
ARE the theft deterrent.  So, 2/3rds of the way through tagging our feature 
films, we get told to stop.  So, about 1/3rd of our features have no tags, the 
scanners don’t always read the tags, and with the software upgrade, sometimes 
don’t even want to read the barcode.  And, discs were getting stuck in the 
dispensers, causing all kinds of problems.  Also, apparently you can’t tag all 
the discs in the case if they are on top of each other.  If the case allows 
them to be staggered, that might help, but we have had all kinds of problems 
with discs not scanning.  So, now we are in the 4th month of waiting for 
equipment upgrades on some of our dispensers, so that the discs won’t stick.  
And we still have the problem of discs not dispensing, and going into dispenser 
limbo.  Sigh.

Now, in response to your questions, since I finished my rant, ☺


1 Not difficult to apply, but a pain to remove.  If you are 
lucky, and the stingray doesn’t strip off any of the label, you can use goo 
gone, or alcohol to try to remove any sticky residue.  I have had great luck 
with hand sanitizer.

2 We have only had a couple of cases found that have had 
the stingray removed.  Our nonfiction is all tagged, and while most of our 
feature films and tv shows are in the dispensers, foreign films, old movies and 
old tv shows are not.

3 Patrons switching tags – no

4 Multi disc cases – we tagged only the first and last 
disc, and as I said above, if the discs in the cases are right on top of each 
other, that can screw up the scanner.

5 Double sided discs – donut hole tags on one side.

6 I don’t think we have gotten many complaints on the 
stingrays messing up the DVD players or computers.  If we have gotten any 
complaints, they are few and far between.

Hope this all helps.

Hi, I'm hoping to tap into the vast knowledge and experience available amongst 
videolibbers.

Our library system is investigating moving to RFID from our current system.  
Does anyone use the Stingray tags on their discs? If so, could you email me 
answers to these questions?



1)How hard are they to apply?

2)Have you had many discs ruined by the removal or attempted removal of the 
tags?

3)Have customers removed the tags and applied them to blank or "old" discs and 
returned those instead of the library disc?

4)I've read that too many tags stacked can negate the reader's ability to sense 
the tags.  How do you deal with multi-disc cases.

5)How do you deal with double-sided discs?

6)Have customers reported difficulties playing discs with the Stingray tag on 
them?



Any other information of real-life usage would be helpful.

[Videolib] New building

Just want to let you all know (sorry for the cross posting!), we have been in 
our new central library - the Aurora Public Library, Richard and Gina Santori

about 31,000 square feet, it's pretty great!  And, this is my annual thank you 
to all of you.  I think the biggest asset this list has is that it has both 
librarians and vendors on it - more access to information for all!  Thanks so

Re: [Videolib] Rental collections?

[Tatar, Becky]

We have been using Brodart's/McNaughten dvd lease program for 5 years now.  
Basically, we use it to supplement copies for blockbuster titles with lots of 
reserves.  Our regular orders are from Midwest.  I use their calendar of 
upcoming hit movies to gage how many lease copies to order, at least to start 
with.  When we first started with Brodart, I think the program was pretty new 
to them, also, because their database basically only had what had already been 
released.  You couldn't order upcoming titles.  They have changed that, and for 
the most part, have at least most of 2 months of titles in advance in their 
database.  They are also pretty good about doing television shows, as some of 
those titles which we get also get heavy reserve lists.  They also do well on  
trying to get titles not listed in the database.

Points are assigned to each title, with most feature films getting anywhere 
from 13 - 16 points per copy.  You purchase a certain level of points each 
year.  If you don't use them all, they do carry over to the next year.  You 
also are given a percentage for lost or damaged titles, and have the ability to 
keep some copies, in case your own copies go missing or are damaged. They have 
also been good to work with the one time a tv show had a damaged disc.  They 
not only replaced the disc at no charge, but were able to do a replacement copy 
of the whole set.

For me, there is also a bit of paperwork to track the barcodes of the lease 
copies, when they come, and when they are all returned.

One reason we went with Brodart as opposed to some of the other vendors had to 
do with the nonsense from the studios about releasing bare bones DVDs only  to 
libraries, not titles with all the bells and whistles.  It appears that 
Brodart, while a library company, gets their DVDs from AEC/WebAmi, so we are 
able to bypass the studio nonsense.  Of course, this means that sometimes we 
only have lease copies of the movie for about 4 weeks.

Overall, we are very happy with the program.  And again, though, it is for 
supplementing our new titles that have many reserves.   Sometimes, generally 
with popular tv shows, like Game of Thrones, or Dexter, when the new seasons 
come out, we need to get a couple lease copies of older seasons as well as the 
new season, since reserves on the old seasons spike up.  Hope this helps.

Hello All,

Do any of you have experience you wouldn't mind sharing re: rental collections? 
 I'd be interested to hear about vendors, the collections themselves (e.g. 
pre-selected or do you have input into titles), and any other information you 
feel might be useful for someone who's been tasked with exploring this as a 
potential way to expand browseable / recreational offerings, particularly at an 
academic institution.

Thanks in advance,

Re: [Videolib] quick poll

[Tatar, Becky]

Oh, bad news from here.  I know public libraries often have different 
collections.  We for a long time double shelved our cds and dvds - empty cases 
on the open shelves, discs in file cabinets in back of the circ desk.  It 
wasn't a sustainable plan - eventually we had too many titles, and not enough 
room for more cabinets to hold discs.  So, the decision was made to put all the 
discs out, despite protests from front line staff - circ and reference - about 
high theft rates.  Well, predictions came true.  In the first year, we lost 
over 500 dvds.  In the next 2 months after that, 300!  So, all dvds were pulled 
into a closed access area, and folks had to ask for specific titles.  Horrible 
horrible time.   Eventally, we contracted with Biblioteca, a security company, 
to provide dispensers for our DVDs.  They work a little like Red Box.  The 
discs are loaded into the despensers.  Patrons scan the barcode of the empty 
case from the shelf, and the discs are dispensed.  Very little theft now.  And 
the theft of the CDs has gone way down - maybe 2 - 4 a month.  But, it's easier 
to take a cd home and copy it, as opposed to dvds.  So the moral of the story 
for us - unless you have a good security system in place, really think this 
through

Debbie's question leads me to think about the larger issue of librarian as 
copyright cop.   

I have two questions related to this:

How do public and school librarians manage the use of library media in their 
media labs?  
I suspect that these librarians are not sitting over every user's shoulder 
asking, Are you following the factors of fair use?  So I'd like to hear how 
they work with these issues.

And how do academic librarians with distance education programs try to educate 
users on copyright?  
I suspect that they are not policing course management software for un-fair 
use of library material.   

Hope some videolibbers can share some real world examples addressing these 
complicated topics.

I would send the prof a respectful note, letting them know that there are 
rights issues involved when a video is screened outside the classroom, and 
offer to help clear the rights for their screening. I think that it is my duty 
as the overall manager of the media collection to inform our users about rights

correct their lack of knowledge.

I don't think saying nothing is the appropriate way to deal with this

a school or library that was just going to us it in house, and not go anywhere,

for protecting the disc, making sure that the information on the insert/sleeve

[Videolib] DVD TV Show circulation

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all,

What is the circulation time for seasonal TV show DVDs in your collection?  We 
used to circulate all DVDs for 2 weeks, and a few years ago went to 1 week.  
Since then, we have added more TV show seasons to our collection, so the 
question has come up - it's difficult to watch a 22 episode television set in 1 
week.  I figured this would happen, but the question now is how to handle it.  
Do you all have 2 or more circulation times for your DVDs?  Also, do you change 
the circ time for a DVD depending on how new it is?  Especially for the best 
sellers.  Do you have a short circ time initially, and after a year, go to a 
different circ time?  For example, Insidiious 2 just came out.  Do you have it 
on a 3 day circ for now, and next year sometime, after the reserves are gone, 
go to a 7 day circ?  Thanks!  And sorry for any cross duplication.

As a public librarian, all my training was on the job.  I don't remember any

librarians, or represent the vendors.  Other areas to consider - specific 
collection development - how to choose, where to get, - the logistics of 
starting or maintaining a collection. What do you want your collection to do? 
Review sources - first, at least for public libraries - Video Librarian!  As 
well as Booklist, LJ and SLJ.  Some of this might seem like, well, duh, but so 
many people don't understand that AV is a different animal from print 
materials.  There's probably more, but if I add it, I'll confuse everyone,

Colleagues! As a matter of curiosity, I was wondering just how much formal 
training did you receive in assuming your roles as media librarians? I ask the 
same question also for those who are not media librarians (like myself), but 
still do a fair amount of media work as part of their jobs. I assume many of 
you probably have degrees in film (or communications) studies, but did you ever 
take any media classes at library school. I know that many library schools 
offer courses in government documents, but does anyone know of any library 
schools offering video librarianship courses? Might there be any relatively 
recent books on the subject of video librarianship?

Or did many of you learn video librarianship from what you picked (or are 
picking up now) on the job?

I pose these questions because the Video Round Table is considering the idea 
(among other proposals) of possibly holding at next summer's ALA a program 
entitled Video Librarianship 101:
a workshop for librarians just getting into video librarianship or for those 
librarians who are not exclusively 'media librarians' but have positions which 
entail  having a fair amount of video responsibilities. Topics might include:

* PPR/institutional rates

* Tracking down PPR for a single campus or community showing

* Working with faculty, other librarians, students, and public library 
users in building up and publicizing video collections

* Streaming: opportunities and challenges. Hoopla?

* Allowing video collections to fully circulate and displaying them 
openly (as opposed to keeping them behind the circulation desk).


Would any of you out there find such a program to be of any interest?


Cheers!

Hello Collective Wisdom,
I am curious to see if any of the public librarians reading this have Midwest

In the end it is still Paramount who owns the rights but they obviously have 
not contracted for single title streaming. It likely won't do much good but 
they are still the place to contact but Criterion USA might be able to help.

I am wondering how other libraries deal with faculty requests for HBO

don't.  The university pays for generic cable aired in the student union, 
lounges, etc. but don't think HBO is included.   I cannot figure out how to 
acquire, or a faculty member to view, or show in class, one of these films.  I 
called HBO customer service and never got beyond recordings.  Does anybody know 
if they offer a documentary only university streaming license for a fee or for 
specific films?

Re: [Videolib] A Distributor's Response

[Tatar, Becky]

I don't purchase PPR for films, either.  Even when the public library price is 
connected with K-12 at something like $89, that's more than I want to pay.  
And, our documentaries circulate.  I didn't pick up My Perestroika, but Midwest 
is the vendor we use for our DVDs.  A few years ago, one of the vendors did a 
test sale here - if I remember correctly.  A certain number of libraries had to 
sign up to order a title, and the price would be reduced to a home use level.  
I don't think enough libraries signed up, but I don't remember what the outcome 
was.  The thing is, for a lot of the documentaries being considered here, 
they're outside the scope of a lot of public libraries.  But we're a larger, 
urban city library, and we have a very diverse population, and one of the 
things they do is check out nonfiction DVDs of all kinds.  I have had to push 
for this part of the collection not to be decimated because of the perception 
that the nonfiction doesn't go out.  My supervisor is slowly coming around to 
the fact that nonfiction DVDs - whether documentaries, how-to, 
self-improvement, or whatever - all go out.  I just have to be picky about what 
I can buy - I'm not paying institutional prices for titles that we circulate as 
home use.

We've been circulating videogames for about 5 years now.  I haven't heard of

empty cases on the shelf, discs in a cabinet in back of the desk.  In our

Hello,

I've been asked by a faculty member to identify clips from films that would 
present how business meetings and other public presentations are conducted in a 
variety of countries.  He isn't interested in videos in which meeting conduct 
is limited to checklists or discussed by talking heads.  Ideally, he'd like to 
find visual materials that show how speakers - as well as audiences - behave 
and react in public speaking situations in countries including Brazil, China, 
Germany, India, and Japan.

There are many videos that present meeting behaviors and expectations in the 
checklist/talking heads format, but I've really hit a brick wall when it comes 
to videos capturing real life experiences.

What I've considered instead is finding film clips from dramas, comedies, and 
documentaries that would help describe meeting cultures in various countries.  
For example, for U.S. meetings, clips from the following films might be good to 
consider:

  *   The Family Man
  *   Wall Street
  *   The Informant
  *   The Yes Men
Possible TV Shows: The Apprentice, Dragon's Den (UK)

Would anyone have ideas on films that have done a good job representing 
meetings and business presentations in the following countries?

  *   Brazil
  *   China
  *   Germany
  *   India
  *   Japan
  *   UK
If you do, please share the film title, year, and the country/culture 
represented.  Thank you for any and all help!

A little off topic* but I can't help but comment.

While Vincent Canby and Roger Ebert didn't care for the film version of 1776, 
I have always loved the musical.  It is, after all, a musical, not a 
documentary.  And it won several major Tony and Drama Desk awards.

I've always found the music quite engaging, from the epistolary duet between 
Adams and his wife, to the implication of the northern colonies in the slave 
trade (Molasses to Rum), an amazing anti-war song Momma Look Sharp (it was 
the late 1960s) and the anthem of the conservatives Cool Considerate Men*

It was unfortunate that Cool Considerate Men was cut from the film but I 
understand it has been restored in later releases.

[Videolib] Spanish Language Algebra

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all,

We have had a request for algebra instruction in Spanish.  None of the titles 
we have - Teaching Company, VAI, Cerebellum, etc., seem to have a Spanish 
language audio track.  Does anyone have suggestions for this?  Oh, that also 
don't cost an arm and two legs! :)  Thanks!

Hi All

Well, it has been a little over three months since my retirement from 
videolibrariandom...  An interesting experiment in letting go.  I've recently 
started a part-time (17 hr a week) gig as coodinator of public services for the 
Judah L. Magnes Museum in Berkeley (www.magnes.org) (now administratively a 
part of UC Berkeley's Bancroft Library) ...something completely new for 
me--both exciting and a bit scary.  It's a contract job, so I'm on for the next 
year.  Then I'll have to reassess.

After a great deal of debate, I think it's probably time for me to pull the 
plug on my videolib subscription at the end of this week.  I'm sad about doing 
this...seems like such a final break with my beloved professional past.  But 
probably best to move on.

Gisele Tanasse, Operations Supervisor in the Berkeley Media Center, will be 
managing the list after my departure (at least in the short-run).  Pls address 
queries to her at gtana...@library.berkeley.edu

My email is hand...@berkeley.edu and I'd love to stay in touch.  I'd be glad to 
continue bouncing ideas around and sharing whatever professional wisdom I have 
(as long as the shelf-life is still good) with librarian colleagues or with 
film distributors or makers.

Salud!

[Videolib] DVD ADD Loving it

Hi, all, again!

I have a patron asking for us to get the above title.  I can find that it was 
shown on PBS around the country - maybe during pledge drives, but I can't find 
any reviews for it.  Amazon's reviews are mostly positive, but it's not the 
same as having an authoritative review - (Randy!).  Does anyone know this

I am somewhat amazed there are companies that do lease. Does not seem like a 
great way to make money given that new releases seem to have as one friend put 
it in another context, the shelf life of milk.

I do find the concept somewhat offensive. I mean if acclaimed new novel or copy 
of WAR AND PEACE did not circulate would you just return them? I can understand 
for multiple copies of popular films but as a way of deciding what you actually 
keep it is kind of insane. Basically you would likely keep a copy of BATTLESHIP 
or TRANSFORMERS get return a copy of say A SEPARATION, LA STRADA  or HOOP 
DREAMS if they were not circulating enough.

Becky,

I say why bother?   These popular titles continue to have demand long after 
that initial rush.  Unless you are thinking that you want to get through your 
hold list of 300-400 or more VERY quickly by leasing 100+ copies.   We buy 
40-50 tops of these popular titles and our hold lists are usually completed 
within 2-3 months.  Leasing DVDs has always seemed to me to be a waste of $$.

Books--not so much--one a person reads a book they typically do not want to 
read it over and over.  Not true with films and music.   To me this is why it 
make more sense to lease books for popular titles but to buy films and music 
outright and let 'em die a natural death in the library.

That's my 2 cents.

Re: [Videolib] unsecured AV in open access area

[Tatar, Becky]

Not an academic library, but we went to unsecured access in January.  Since 
then, we have lost 326 titles.  In the first 4 weeks, we lost over 100, but in 
the last several months, it has slowed down to 5 - 10 per week, rather than 5 - 
10 per day. Almost all the missing titles are feature films, and popular ones 
at that.  Our cds are now all going to be unsecured also - we have had all but 
popular and Spanish in their cases since November last year, hand haven't 
really had too much loss - mostly country, sacred and movie/musicals.  But now, 
the popular and Spanish are going in their cases, also, and I anticipate great 
loss.  Our previous system was double shelving - cases out on the shelfs, discs 
in file cabinets.  At some point this does become untenable.   It depends on 
how much loss are you willing to take, and how much in demand are the 
nonfiction film titles you have.  Are they for popular classes?  Are they out 
of print, or can you still get replacements?  Good luck on this.

Are any one of you working in an academic library with open shelves for AV 
materials(DVDs/CDs) that are not secured with either locked cases or security 
layers attached to the discs? I'm talking about educational/documentaries not 
feature films. Have you lost items in this situation? In what rate (how many 
per year)? My boss is asking me if it is worthed to secure the whole collection 
if the cost of replacing a few lost items per year can do the job instead. 
Almost all our CDs are Classical music. Few classic Jazz CDs and some world 
music. No popular music. Should I secure them? Thanks.

I would start with whoever has the rights.  While it's a long shot, I was able

some old Twilight Zone episodes for Teen Read Week a few years ago.  What CBS 
asked was just a contract form they sent with the particulars we filled in - 
date, time, approximate number of audience numbers, no charge for the showing, 
and also to include the line in all publicity program appears courtesy of CBS 
Television.  They were very nice, especially since we were on a rather tight

Well, it's really getting down to the wire, folks...Thursday is it for me.

Given its increasingly dire financial situation, the library no longer provides 
individual retirement celebrations; they hold one rather paltry party for 
everyone who retires in June...sort of like a mass burial.  Hope there's booze, 
at least.

Since I'm in no mood to make yet another going-away speech, I cobbled together 
a little 8 minute clip reel that I'm gonna show in flagrant disregard for 
copyright.  I think it's only appropriate that I go out in grand, transgressive 
style.  And to compound the transgression, I've put the video up for your 
streaming pleasure at:

However, a patron says that there are additional scenes, the Donahue's

the son is his son(sorry!).  Chamberlain returns, and dies in Australia.  Is 
there a way to find out if there is a disc for this title with this ending 
chapter, or does it end as we have it?  Thanks

Hi all

Well...as my screed yesterday demonstrates, it's never too late to be stupid.  
As my friend Judy Thomas reminded me (tactfully offline), I was, indeed, 
surveyed for this project.  I owe an apology to Judy and her hard-working crew, 
as well as thanks for attempting to bring at least a bit of clarity to these 
knotty and often maddeningly obtuse issues.

I think my lashing out stems from a general and continuing frustration with the 
fact that, in all too many cases, policy and practice and advocacy in the areas 
of video copyright and licensing, fair use, etc. are often being made in the 
library and academic worlds by individuals and groups who have very little 
knowledge of or stake in either the worlds of video production and 
distribution, or the on-going process of video collection development and 
management.  The direct relationship between the economic health and viability 
of content producers/distributors and the building of useful and diverse 
collections is something about which those of us actually doing media know a 
great deal.  Not so much the pundits at ARL...

My rather snarky note yesterday was penned with an apparently ill-founded fear 
that the right people weren't being queried, and that these misinformed 
responses would form the basis of best practice...

In any case...I hope Judy and her team will forgive my late-career lapse in 
judgment.

 Dear Colleagues,
 The Fair Use and Video Project has posted online its document titled 
 Community Practices in the Fair Use of Video in Libraries,
 http://pages.shanti.virginia.edu/Fair_Use_and_Video/.
 For an introduction to the document, please see Carrie's Russell's 
 blog post on ALA'S District Dispatch at 
 http://www.districtdispatch.org/2012/04/introducing-community-practice
 s-in-the-fair-use-of-video-in-libraries/
 .
 To those of you who contributed your time and effort to answer our 
 surveys, attend our focus groups, or comment on our drafts, we offer 
 you our sincere thanks.
 This project began as an attempt by the Video Roundtable to establish 
 a recommended body of practice in the fair use of video for 
 educational purposes. A team of six librarians, with advice and 
 guidance from ALA’s Office of Information Technology Policy, 
 coordinated the process of gathering input from the media librarian 
 community and then created a document describing our findings. We 
 decided to focus on documenting our community practices, i.e. how 
 librarians routinely and responsibly fulfill their mission to preserve and 
 provide access to our cultural record.
 The team conducted in-person interviews at national conferences and 
 hosted a series of focus groups at locations across the country: 
 Boston, Seattle, Evanston, Washington, D.C. and Richmond.  About 
 eighty library staff members with varying responsibilities for buying, 
 processing, and/or supporting the educational use of video were included in 
 our surveys.
 We welcome your comments and suggestions!   This is a living document and
 your comments may prompt revisions.   If you'd like to leave a comment,
 please use the Comments link on the right.  Please do let me know if 
 you have any problems accessing or using the site.

 Dear Gary,

 It wasn't until early this morning that it hit me
 and then all the analogies began streaming in.
 Your timing for retirement does comes at the
 end of an era/beginning of a new one. The main
 analogy is that for people like you and I, who
 grew up during the analog era, the last 15-20
 years have been essentially comparable to the
 first 15-20 years of the advent of moving images.
 I'm equating the birth of film to the birth of
 the internet. The internet arrived, access to
 information was at the tips of one's typing
 fingers and a new system for the distribution of
 all kinds of information was available to
 everyone (more or less). In 1895 after several
 years of experimentation, motion pictures were
 being shown in many parts of the world and
 provided access to worlds beyond anyone's
 imagination. In 1995, we were making decisions
 about whether we liked Mosaic or Netscape better
 as browsers. I liked Mosaic (but then I liked
 betamax over VHS). Roughly 17 years later, around
 1912, motion pictures came into their own and
 serious feature-length films were becoming
 standard fare, attached to film directors whose
 development of film style left a lasting mark. In
 2012, content distribution is taking a serious
 turn to streaming and leaving its mark about how
 we think about owning digital files of images -
 moving or still, and sounds - music or spoken
 content. Content itself is becoming more
 physically intangible. We can personally own
 books, films, music, but they do not reside on
 shelves, rather they reside somewhere Out There
 and we need devices to access them and to pay to
 store them. So, you are leaving us at a time
 where we have crossed the threshold to the next phase of technology.

 I remember when I first met you in person, as
 opposed to online. It was in Austin in 1995 at
 the Summer Institute at U of T at Austin
 entitled, Video, CD-ROM and Beyond. I remember
 giving a paper about film preservation and making
 some off the cuff remark about video on demand.
 Be careful what you wish for, I guess. Here we
 are with access to more things than we thought
 were even possible 17 years ago.

 Now about you and what you have done for us: I
 started my career at a time when correspondence
 meant writing memos and letters. Retrieving one's
 phone messages meant rewinding the audio-cassette
 on the answering machine attached to one's analog
 phone (and prior to that, calling into one's
 answering service and talking to someone who gave
 you your messages). Then modems and clunky e-mail
 and the internet arrived. And then Gary gave us
 videolib and a new way of professional
 communication. In the old days the easiest way to
 find a distributor for a film was to contact
 someone who might know. Information was passed
 along verbally by those who knew or who knew
 someone who would know. Many reference books
 tended to be out of date by the time they were
 published and so after a few years on the job, a
 media librarian finally had the training to get
 the job done in a timely manner based on he or
 she knew. Listservs arrived and continued the
 wonderful personal contact that we all felt
 during a conference where we could discuss topics
 without physical or temporal borders. Listservs
 changed everything and for media librarianship
 Gary's helming of this invaluable professional
 resource is undeniably one of the most important
 developments in the field in the last 15 years.
 Videolib has truly changed the face of the media
 librarian profession. Thank you Gary. Thank you
 for your vision, for your guidance, for your
 patience and persistence, and for your sense of
 humor. You are indeed important to the archeology of media librarianship.

 May I suggest that we all compile an essential
 screening list for Gary, so that he could occupy
 his time appropriately later this

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls

It is with a mix of melancholy, ebullience, slight trepidation, and vast relief 
that I announce my forthcoming retirement from the University of California 
Berkeley and the Media Resources Center on June 28, 2012.
Today marks my 33rd anniversary with the University, and this year my 36th as a 
librarian (a fact which seems more than a little surreal to me).  
I’ve been director of the Media Center for about 28 of those years, and there 
hasn’t been week, good or bad, that has gone by without my murmuring a little 
thanks for the cosmic hiccups that allowed me to stumble into
such a cool and personally rewarding gig.   I simply cannot think of
anywhere that I would have been happier professionally, or another position in 
which I would have grown and learned and contributed as much.

In some sense, I feel a bit like Mark Twain, who was born during the fiery 
appearance of Halley’s Comet, and who went out with its reappearance, 74 years 
later.  I began my career in media in the early 80s, at the dawn of the home 
video age (or the “Video Revolution” as it was often hyperbolically called in 
the library literature at the time).  I’m bowing out of the business at a time 
when the technologies and economics of video production and distribution, and 
the video content universe itself are again in a state of radical flux.  Along 
with these changes, video collections and service in libraries are also bound 
to experience major tremors and evolutionary shifts.  I’m not sure whether I’m 
leaving the scene feeling sanguine or pessimistic about this future, but in any 
case it’s definitely going to be an interesting and challenging next decade.

I am going to miss all my long-time professional pals profoundly, both those on 
the library side and the distributor side of the fence.  I grew up with a 
number of you in this field, and along the way you’ve become a kind of extended 
workaday family, complete with the obstreperous get-togethers, occasional 
bickering, and comforting sympathy.  I’m also heartened by the number of young, 
creative, and energetic colleagues who have hopped on board in more recent 
times.  Definitely makes me less gloomy about prospects for the future.

Not sure exactly what I’m going to do next:  I’d like to continue teaching film 
somewhere on campus or off; I’m up for grabs as a consultant; want to write a 
bit; gotta catch up on all the national cinemas I’ve given short-shrift to over 
the years; want to log in more gym time; would like to hone my banjo and 
ukulele-playing chops; want to get back to freelance cartooning and 
illustration.  At very least, I’m aiming at becoming an accomplished and 
well-known Berkeley flâneur and café personality.

As for the fate of the UC Berkeley Media Resources Center…  In light of the 
dire economic straits into which UC has been shoved, it is almost completely 
unlikely that my position will be filled any time soon.  The future of the 
redoubtable MRC collection and website remains murky, at best.  I can’t really 
think about all of this too much; it’s just too damn depressing to ponder, and 
I’ve got other things on my mind. In other words, après moi, le deluge, and 
there’s not a damn thing I can do about it.

For the time being, Gisele Tanasse (MLIS), crack MRC Operations Czarina, will 
look after the shop.  She has also graciously agreed to keep an administrative 
eye on videolib and videonews.  (Note, however, that she’s going out on 
maternity leave from May until around the end of September, so you’re pretty 
much on your own during that hiatus.  Play nice!).  
Gisele’s email is gtana...@library.berkeley.edu.  I’ll be around and wrapping 
things up for the next few months.  My civilian email address after June is 
going to be garyhand...@gmail.com and I’m also on Facebook. 
I’d love to stay in touch (but please don’t contact me about anything having to 
do with copyright or fair use).

Best of luck for the future, comrades!  Continue fighting the good fight. 
It really has been an honor and a delight working with you all.
Salud!

[Videolib] DVD Requiem for a Dream: Director's Cut

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all,

We had a patron return this DVD in with a note that it wouldn't work.  Well, I 
put it in the player, and it starts with something that looks like a fake 
informercial, and won't let you skip the section.  I thought at first that 
someone had figured out a way to record from the television on it, especially 
when the phone number started with 900.  When I finally was able to skip to a 
section, the main menu did not list Play for the movie, but had a listing that 
looked like a set of extras.  Has anyone had this come up on this title?

[Videolib] DVDs - Burned vs Pressed

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all,

 A couple of months ago I asked if there was increased risk of degradation on 
burned DVDs vs pressed DVDs.  Someone responded, and I can't remember who.  I 
think the answer was that the burned titles can degrade.  Also, someone 
mentioned that the burned titles don't always play on older players.  We get a 
lot of discs returned from patrons claiming that the disc won't play.  I put it 
in our player and it works fine.  I can't find these answers in the archive.  
We have a patron complaining up the ladder about discs that don't play on her 
player, so we need some facts on this.  Thanks!

Hi,

We have a subscription for Film Movement.  I really like it because it gets me 
a collection of films I might not see reviews of otherwise.  However, as far as 
programming goes.  I have tried many times to have a film series program at our 
main library, with absolutely no luck.  A combination of having to pay for 
parking, crappy seats, plus general disinterest killed it.  We even had a group 
of film fans who wanted to do their film program here - and wouldn't look at 
the Film Movement titles at all, and those were exactly the kinds of movies 
they wanted to see - art films, independents, foreign titles, not the big 
blockbuster titles.  So, maybe - real big maybe - if we ever get a new Main 
Library, we'll try again.

discussions get heated?  Yes.  Do they always concern things I need to worry 
about right now at my library? No.  However, it's great that people are so 
passionate about this field, and care.  If they didn't care, there would be no 
discussion.  So, on that note - thank you to all who do contribute.  I have 
learned so much from being on this list.

[Videolib] DVD CD Security

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all,

First, sorry for any duplication.  Background - until mid January, we double 
shelved our cds and dvds - empty cases on the shelf, discs in file cabinets in 
back of the circ desk.  For several reasons - promoting self check out, space 
considerations (lack of in the file cabinets),  and the time it takes to 
retrieve the discs, and then put them away,  last fall, we put the discs for 
all cds but Popular and Spanish in the cases, and so far, have had fairly 
little loss.  The decision was made to do this with the dvds, also.  Since mid 
January, we have lost over 170 titles, all but a very few are feature films. (I 
know - ouch!)  My question is, other than security boxes, such as Alpha, etc., 
or security overlays, what else is out there for securing cds and dvds in the 
cases so light fingered patrons don't take them.  Oh - we really don't have a 
security system.   I have contacted Midwest Tape about their locks.  Thanks in 
advance for any help.

Has anyone studied the costs of securing audio-visual materials, relative to

effective to continue the current practice of leaving the discs behind the Circ

[Videolib] TV Series The Chisholms

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all,

A patron called asking about an episode of this TV series.  His daughter had a 
walk on part, and he would like to know which episode it was.  Our staff 
checked all the usual suspects - IMBD, TV.com, WorldCat, and many more.  Since 
it was just a walk on extra part, her name may not even be listed in the 
production notes.  Is there anywhere else to look for this?  The only other 
thing I could think of is if IMDB Pro lists the extras.  According to Wikipedia 
(I know!), FreemantleMedia now owns the rights to the Alan Landsburg Production 
titles.  Would they have any papers, production notes, etc., from the series?  
Or would someplace like the UCLA library have them?  Thanks!

I'm almost tempted just to prove it can be done! I imagine Ryan Gosling as the 
intrepid audio-visual librarian who discovers the lost VHS of a 1960s schlock 
icon that unlocks the key (don't ask how, but in Hollywood, EVERYTHING unlocks 
a key, which is a backward statement, come to think of it) to a mysterious 
treasure of lost 16mm films including the complete original Troma cut of Surf 
Nazis Must Die. The nation rejoices (actually, 95% of them are apathetic about 
it while the other 20% don't care) while the school administrator (Jeremy 
Irons) plots to throw out those rusty cans of crap. Ryan's assistant, played 
by Mara Rooney, must help him find storage on campus that the administrator can 
never find while in a desperate race to catalog the reels. But she has a secret 
in her past that comes back and threatens the very existence of the metadata...

Okay, who's in for a million?

[Videolib] DVD Tree of Life

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all,

We have gotten a few requests for this in the last few months, but since we do 
not collect Blu-Ray at this time, we have not purchased it.  However, there are 
some libraries in WorldCat that seem to have this on DVD.  Also, Amazon is 
listing it as a DVD Rental Ready.  Is this the DVD that came with the Blu-Ray 
combo pack initially, and libraries maybe split the package up?  I don't see 
anything about extras on the DVD entries for World Cat.  Thanks!

Re: [Videolib] Plea from a Media Collection Decimation Zone

[Tatar, Becky]

Right now, all our cds except for Popular are in their cases.  Popular includes 
all pop/rock, old standards, easy listening, rap, and for some reason, new age. 
 So far, I have about 12 cds of country and sacred titles that have been turned 
into me with their discs missing.  We will be starting to put our discs out in 
the cases for nonfiction DVDs in a couple weeks.  Our popular cds, and our dvds 
at this point are double shelved. Empty cases on the shelf, discs in disc 
pockets in file cabinets.  This is a very labor intensive, time consuming way 
to check out av.  I just hope that we don't lose a lot with the discs in the 
cases.

In a related move, we are having to go from double shelving - empty cases on

I send this out at least in part as a plea for support - moral support at the 
very least.  Last week from out of the blue my library director announced that 
we were to move our media collection (about 4000 VHS videos and DVDs) from the 
media room (with closed stacks) downstairs to open stacks around the 
circulation desk.  Although some of the titles known to be heavily used by 
faculty for teaching are to be put behind the desk in a limited teaching 
collection,  most of the titles are to be placed in an outer ring of shelving 
around the circulation desk open to patrons and the public.

Though we had been told that we would be investigating and planning for such a 
potential move sometime in the new year, this directive came without warning 
and certainly without any significant planning or forethought.   The titles are 
to be put on open shelving.  There are no locked cases involved and none of the 
titles are tattle-taped.   In the media room patrons had to check-out titles 
even if they wanted to view them in the media room.  We could track circulation 
statistics as well as maintain a high level of security.  As of the beginning 
of 2012, no such control will be in place.  In short, the entire collection 
will be unsecure and exposed to whomever deans pull a title off the shelf - to 
view or otherwise.
I have expressed my deep concerns, but the answer I have gotten back is that we 
will put things out on the shelves and monitor the shrinkage.  Not the most 
effective way to manage the collection I have noted. Seems akin to putting 
pamphlets on a display that says take one.  Seems to me this gets to the 
basic issue of what a library media collection is for, and how should it be 
used and managed?

For the record, my concerns have been echoed by other collages including 
several higher up my chain of command.  But, top level administration is 
un-swayed by such arguments, though I intend to continue to make them even as I 
am compelled to move the collection.  I suspect there are backroom politics 
involving space issues

(with check-out viewing only) to completely open stacks with no security 
control virtually overnight is not a good thing in my opinion.  I fear that my 
circulating collection is about to be decimated and devalued at the very least.

I suppose that in my shock at what I have been asked to do, I need some input 
from those on this list.  My big question to my media colleagues on this list 
is this:  Does anyone out there have their media collection on completely open 
stacks with no security?I'll take any input (advisory or consoling) I can 
get.

Thanks in advance and happy holidays.

[Videolib] Degrading videodiscs

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all,

Has anyone had a problem with disc information degrading for no apparent 
reason?  We have a title from Crystal Productions that appears to be burned 
rather than pressed.  After only 5 circulations, it was turned in, the patron 
reporting there was nothing on the disc.  I tried it out on my dvd player here 
at work, on the computer and had our tech department check it out, with the 
same result.  Do burned dvds have a problem with the information eventually 
going away?  I had never heard of this, and I can't believe it would happen so 
quickly.  Thanks for any help.

and for even more trivia, many of the songs for Hollywood Revue including 
Singin in the Rain were written by Arthur Freed who later became the producer 
of many of the top MGM musicals including Singin in the Rain. Some of the 
film was based on his memories of the early Hollywood musicals.

FYI for the record I have seen Singin in the Rain at least 16 times but not for 
6 or 7 years. All viewings were on film with an audience.

Along with Singin' In the Rain it might be interesting to show The Hollywood 
Revue of 1929, available from Warner Archives here:
http://www.wbshop.com/Hollywood-Revue-of-1929/1000179896,default,pd.html?cgid=

The film was made to showcase MGM's roster of silent stars, introducing them as 
stars of the new talkies. Some in the film went on to become even bigger stars 
in the sound era. But many in the film are not well known today, since they 
failed to make a successful transition to sound. The Hollywood Revue of 1929 
actually ends with a big, all-star Singin' In the Rain finale in Technicolor.

[Videolib] Warner Brothers DVD plan

Hi, all,

Sorry for the cross posting.  With 2 Warner Brothers movies in retail release 
this month, Crazy Stupid Love and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, 
how are you planning to deal with the new plan for Warner Brother's movies?  
Are you just going to wait for the rental versions, or are you going to go out 
and purchase the retail copy - a few copies at a time from each retailer?  If 
you get both versions, will you be putting 2 records in your catalog, or will 
you combine them into 1 record, with each version individually labeled somehow 
in the item record?  Any other information on how you are handling this will be 
appreciated.  Thanks a lot!

Re: [Videolib] Friday fun question, early...

[Tatar, Becky]

I can't really watch scary movies.  Can't sleep afterwards.  But I do
like the originals of Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll  Mr Hyde with Spencer
Tracy, and the best - The Uninvited with Ray Milland.  I have heard that
the best ghost story is the 1961 version of The Haunting, with Julie
Harris.  However, I read that book once, and had nightmares.  I can't
even think about watching it.

Hi All,

 

Here's a Friday fun question (but with a bit of a head start): what are
your favorite scary movies?

 

Gary, you probably have a videography, don't you?  Broken down by genre,

Re: [Videolib] Music Appreciation DVDs

[Tatar, Becky]

There was a series in 1982 from Films for the Humanities called Music in
Time, hosted by James Galway.  We used to have it, and I remember it as
being 4 videocassettes, but World Cat has an entry for the series and
lists 16.

Subject: [Videolib] Music Appreciation DVDs

 

I am appealing to the wisdom of the list.  A music faculty member wants
recent dvds on the various eras of classical music:  

 

Middle Ages  Renaissance

Baroque

Classical

Romantic

20th Century

 

He would like something visually stimulating and attention-grabbing.  We
have in our collection:

 

Art and Music as Reflections of Time (VHS) 1986, originally 1974, which
has parts on all of the eras

Teaching Company's Music Appreciation series of lectures (VHS) 1993

Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts (DVD)

Various VHS and DVD productions on individual composers

 

What the faculty member would like are interesting, dynamic
presentations on all of the eras.  On OCLC, I found a Films for
Humanities series, The CLEARVUE/eav Art  Music Series - 8 parts for
$799.60.  It is not available on Films on Demand, which we purchase
yearly.  Even though the description calls the series visually dynamic,
all I saw in some of the various part previews was a talking head.

 

I have checked a number of our regular vendors, and have found nothing
that fits the bill.  Do any of you wise librarians have any
suggestions???  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: [Videolib] Warner policy change

[Tatar, Becky]

And the thing is, the studios did this all the time when videocassettes
first came out.  The rental stores purchased first - at a cost of $80 or
more for a new feature.  Then, six or eight months down the road, they
put it out for home use - at about $24.95.  That's why when we first
started purchasing videos, we went with creating a classic collection,
while new movies were purchased a year after release.  Why pay all that
money for rental prices when a while down the road, the price would drop
dramatically.  Most people understood that.  Now, I view a DVD with no
extras as a cousin to Reader's Digest condensed books, or a pan  scan
movie versus letterbox.  No extras - I don't want it, and many of our
patrons don't either. If the extras are on the disc, and you don't want
it, fine, you don't have to watch.  But if they aren't there to begin
with, you aren't even being given the option.  And when some discs have
the extras and some don't and you are being forced to purchase the ones
with no extras, isn't that a form of censoring?

[Videolib] Warner Home Video

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all,

Just received notice from Midwest that Warner Home Video is going after
public libraries and our patrons.  The notice from Midwest indicated
that public libraries and rental stores will have to wait 28 days after
the release of a theatrical title  to retail to get the title, and it
will not include any extras.  They will seek to enforce this by auditing
its distribution partners' sales, and limit the number of copies an
individual can purchase through Amazon, Best Buy, etc.  I've asked
Midwest if there is a specific person to contact at Warner in order to
complain.

[Videolib] Missing parts to TV shows

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all,

What is your general practice on DVDs of television shows that have a
missing/damaged discs that cannot be individually replaced.  Do you
circulate the title with the remaining discs, or do you discard the
whole package and order a new set?  Or does it depend on the type of
show - Law  Order episodes are individual, where as other shows are
more serial and have continuing story arcs.  Thanks a lot!

A lot of the discussion of VHS only titles made me think of many great
TV movies , long forgotten and some of which never even made VHS or did
so in the earliest years so most copies are long gone. The 50s is
generally referred to as The Golden Age of Television with many
wonderful live dramas, but many  of us remember the glory years of the
Made for TV movie which I would date roughly 1970-78. Nearly all of
them except BRIAN'S SONG are unknown today. I remember all sorts of
wonderful films including DR.COOK'S GARDEN with Bing Crosby as a
beloved, but homicidal small town doctor. IN THIS HOUSE OF BREDE with
Diane Rigg as a business woman who decides to become a nun, 4 great
films directed by the totally underrated Lamont Johnson, MY SWEET
CHARLIE, FEAR ON TRIAL, THE EXECUTION OF PRIVATE SLOVIK and the
shockingly forgotten THAT CERTAIN SUMMER which was really the first
main stream film to deal sympathetically and  with homosexuality as
the main plot, KILL ME IF YOU CAN and THE GLASS HOUSE both with Alan
Alda, A WAR OF CHILDREN about Northern Ireland, TRIBES about a draftee
and perhaps the most wonderful of the lot LOVE AMONG THE RUINS with
Laurence Olivier  Katherine Hepburn. There ares so many more

 

Of these only THE GLASS HOUSE which Amazon carries and I find somewhat
suspicous it out on DVD and none has been in print on VHS for a long,
long time.

 

I am actually surprised companies have tried to acquire and release many
of these.

Subject: [Videolib] Permanent reserves

Hi All,

 

This isn't a particularly fun Friday question, but...

 

Does anyone have a permanent reserves video collection, and if so
what's in it and how do you keep it updated?  Does it include, for
example, videos that are really expensive or videos that are rare or out
of print?  And if the latter, how to you keep up with what's rare and
and out of print?


Cheers,

 

Matt

Our audiobook circ rules (loan period, fines, lendable to

Re: [Videolib] DVD cases

[Tatar, Becky]

Most of our DVDs come from Midwest, and they automatically put them in
better cases.  However, they are all plastic, become brittle, and
eventually wear down along the sides, the spine, etc.  The box sets
break down, also.  My big question would be how easy does the center hub
release the disc?  On some of the cases, you think you may almost break
the disc in pieces trying to release it.

Many of our DVD cases are in sad shape.  They are cracked, will not open

DVD is loose in the case. I am willing to spend money on top quality
cases that will actually last.  These ones from Gaylord looked better
than average but I thought I would poll this list and see if there is a
gold standard for cases other than the cheap ones most distributors use.

Re: [Videolib] Midwest Tape processing cataloging

[Tatar, Becky]

We have them do our processing – it’s very good.  About the only thing I can 
mention is that because they scan the covers, and put a strip on the top of the 
cover with our logo, name, and barcode, the pictures on the covers of the CDs 
are not quite the same.  They look a little squished and widened.  Otherwise, 
very nice.  And if you are getting MARC records, we just started getting these. 
 They seem to be showing up in our database about 2 weeks before the release 
date for new items.  You might also want to speak to Dana Young in our 
Technical Services department – she would be able to give you more information.

Hollywood Challenges Netflix, Offers VOD Rentals NBC Bay The top studios
have agreed to rent premium VOD movies for $30 a pop. What does that
have to do with the Web? Everything and nothing, it appears.  On the
news, NBC Bay Area writes: Now Hollywood is trying to circumvent the
Internet but at the same time offer its own video rental service. As
GigaOm explains, The introduction of Home Premiere comes as Hollywood
faces sharp declines in box office revenues and theater attendance --
for which the Web is partially responsible. By introducing a new VOD
rental window 60 days after films have their theatrical release,
Hollywood studios are betting they can capture viewers in their homes.
All participating in premium initiative, Warner Bros., Universal and
20th Century Fox have already succeeded in fending off companies like
Netflix and Redbox, forcing them to wait 28 days after a film bows on
DVD to offer those titles for rent through their online services,
reports Variety. Those same studios wouldn't mind lengthening that
window even longer and have considered pursuing such talks. The fact
that Hollywood can try it illustrates why the movie business is faring
much better against the digital disruption that has blown apart the
music and newspaper businesses, MediaMemo explains. Hollywood has
conditioned moviegoers to the notion of 'windows,' which gives it the
ability to charge different prices at different times in a product's
life. Adds MediaMemo: Even if you have no idea what a window is, you
know you pay a certain amount to watch a movie in a theater, a different
price to buy it on DVD, a different price to rent it via Apple's iTunes,
or a certain amount a month to get it via Netflix, etc. ... That
flexibility is now the envy of other media businesses that are just now
trying to get there. Still It remains to be seen if the new service
will be able to compete with the growing number of online services,
Softpedia writes. Netflix may be the poster child, but Amazon and
others are mak  ing good progress. Naturally, the effort is drawing
plenty of criticism and vitriol. Hopefully [the premium initiative
will] shrivel up and die before it contaminates any other VOD
offerings, writes Gizmodo. I'd pay $30 to watch the funeral.

 Hi there:

 Can anyone recommend a source that publishes cumulative Top DVD 
 Rentals lists?



 The only online source I found is IMDB's - which includes the 
 information

 but  isn't cumulative, and is viewable only week by week, back to
1998.

 Box Office Mojo didn't seem to have what I wanted either.



 A faculty member is looking for a cumulative measure of popularity.

 I've referred him to a good Box Office list, but he would like more 
 than ticket sales.



 He is also interested in Variety's All-Time Film Rental Champs 
 lists,

 but it appears that the term film rental in this case refers to the 
 cost exhibitors

 pay to rent films from distributors, not video rental.

 Aside from that, does anyone know if these lists are still published?



 Any help would be most appreciated.

 And Happy New Year!

 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.

[Videolib] Thanks!

[Tatar, Becky]

Just a note to say thank you to everyone on this list.  I have learned
so much from all of you, and I share this with staff and patrons.  I'm
so glad this service is here, and thanks especially to Gary and Berkeley
for hosting this.  I talk about my friends on the list, even though I
might have met you in person once or twice.  Have a great Christmas and
New Year's!

[Videolib] Great tag lines

[Tatar, Becky]

Ok, just have to share - someone gave us a pile of dvds.  In checking
them on IMDB for reviews, this title came up, with one of the best
taglines.  I'm laughing all morning about this.

Stanley Kubrick's Killer Kiss - Tagline - Her Soft Mouth Was the Road to
Sin-Smeared Violence!

[Videolib] Disc cleaner

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all.  In a related question to disc cleaning machines, does anyone
know of a place to get just a liquid cleaner similar to Maxell Disc 
Electronic Cleaner?  Sometimes, all that's needed is a good washing -
rather than a resanding.  I've tried the box stores, library supply
companies, Radio Shack, with no luck.  Or, would just water or something
like Windex work?Thanks

[Videolib] Movie question

[Tatar, Becky]

Hi, all,  

A staff member is looking for this movie, and here is what she gave me:

Title of a movie--probably 60s or 70s.  Filmed in Minnesota, around the
Twin Cities.  The boy falls for a rich girl but her family is marrying
her to another rich one.  In the wedding scene in what appears to be the
Basilica of St. Mary's in Minneapolis the poor boy hang glides through
the rose window and they, of course, run off together

I thought of doing a search on IMDB for Minneapolis filming locations -
but there are almost 600 titles listed!  This is much easier. :) Thanks
a bunch!
