Re: [Videolib] VHS ONLY updates?
As today is the third day of our fall semester and I'm too busy to figure out how to join the wiki Has anybody noted the following VHS titles that I don't think are on DVD - I didn't see them on the list. Anyone? 1. Master Harold and the Boys is on the list, but it should have an indication that it is the (1993) version. 2. Lakota Woman (Native American series from Turner) 3. The Global Assembly Line (new Day is only showing it as VHS) 4. Beyond Borders: Ethics in International Business 5. August Strindberg's Miss Julie -- Royal Shakespeare Company 6. The Tempest (with Lee Remick, Maurice Evans) thanks, Rhonda Rhonda Rosen| Head, Media Access Services William H.

Cool list! I just did an edit to remove Ken Loach's Kes, which was also recently released by Criterion, and Polanski's Cul-de-Sac, which came out on Criterion today! Been hoping for that one for years. Are you also removing titles from the list if/when they're put on DVD-R ~ in the Warner Archives and Columbia Classics collections, for example?

Re: [Videolib] VHS ONLY updates?
Hi Matt (et al.) The Mellon project--a partnership involving NYU, UCB, and Loyola University (New Orleans)--is much more broadly empirical than that. The deliverables include the formulation of general strategies and best practices for identifying current/potential out-of-distribution VHS materials (i.e. materials which are OD and unavailable for purchase in other formats). We will also be considering best practices for dealing with/preserving these titles, particularly digital solutions as allowable under Section 108 (BE QUIET, JESSICA--we have a high-powered media/communications lawyer on board keeping us honest). The difficult initial task has been to identify a manageable, or least likely, collection universe for investigation. The first-pass at doing this has involved identifying titles held uniquely by the institutions involved. (We're using OCLC records to do this...not an easy task!) These operational strategy discussions have been complex and sometimes slightly contentious. Although the strategy discussed above seemed sensible to me initially, now that we're into it, I've got some concerns: items which are unique to a collection are often not items which are most significant or useful in the life of working collections. (All three collections involved are working collections, not archives, after all). I'm currently trying to figure out alternative ways of going about this identification business... In any case, the lists I put out there were earlier, rough attempts at informal sampling of MRC's collection--not a formal part of the Mellon. More later! (The grant runs for two years) gary Hi Becky, It seems like the hard part, creating the list, has been done. Gary, you mentioned that the grant included NYU, have they published their list?

Re: [Videolib] VHS ONLY updates?
Gary, This is an interesting discussion---if you hadn't sent that list initially, I may not have honed-in on this as an area of identifiably high risk---I think we tend to think about lack of access to VHS players but not so much that not all VHS tapes are, or will be, digitized. What's more, this doesn't seem to be common knowledge among bibliographers or curators. My interest in surveying our VHS tapes, at this point anyway, is to try to prevent or minimize risk of loss to those tapes that have not been (and may never be) digitized. Our general collection VHS tapes are in open stacks---they can be played in-house or checked-out. We have little control over their use and I can only assume we're not always informed if a user encounters problems playing them---even if it's at a point where, thru intervention or transfer at that point for VHS-only tapes, we could prevent total loss. I've been wondering whether it would benefit us to be able to identify (and possibly provide alternative levels of access to) VHS-only titles that we don't want to lose and can't replace. We do have a very large collection of opera VHS tapes of particular interest to me for a variety of reasons; one being that our opera VHS collection may include a fair concentration of VHS-only titles although I haven't tested this prediction---I may be full of beans on this. In any event, I've considered focusing on this collection initially. Gary, I wonder if you'd considered this approach (i.e., narrowing your identification to an area that possibly contains a higher % of VHS-only)---not sure it's a valid approach to the Mellon research goals but thought I mention it.

Re: [Videolib] VHS ONLY updates?
Hi Tyra Well, I think the notion of focusing on a genre or type of content is interesting, but I think it's likely not to be all that productive in terms of zoning in on potential OD VHS titles. A lot (most?)opera available is (or has been)available as home video...hard to predict the number of titles in this subset which may have gone OD, or whether opera goes OD any faster than, say, feature films or workout tapes... Still, the valuable thing about this approach may be that it's a manageable place to start... gary Gary, This is an interesting discussion---if you hadn't sent that list initially, I may not have honed-in on this as an area of identifiably high risk---I think we tend to think about lack of access to VHS players but not so much that not all VHS tapes are, or will be, digitized.
