If not a link, at least a note with the URL in it.


Does anyone print them out and put them on the shelves with the videos?
Nope.  Our stats indicate (no in-depth study here, mind) that neither 
students NOR faculty care much for guides.  If they want 'em, they'll 
use the link or URL.

I don't remember the last time a faculty member asked for a teacher's 
guide, handouts, etc. to accompany a title in our collection. We try to 
provide links to relevant information in our catalog. We have closed 
stacks in compact shelving, so don't file guides, etc. with the media. 
We rotate the DVD covers in public displays and can pull them if needed, 
but don't keep them in the cases, either.

very nice, Rachel!

By the way, most higher ed faculty could care less about study guides,
lesson guides, and other printed ancillary materials.  We have shelves of
the stuff gathering dust here.

You neglected to include the important point about making it easy to order
and pay for the stuff...Nothing drives an institutional buyer crazier than
a stupid or confusing or ineffective web site...or a filmmaker who fumbles
invoicing and fulfillment.

We have 'study guide available' listed in our media descriptions,  
where appropriate.


We considered listing links in the annotation, but after a few years  
the links disappear with the websites (many NOVA videos, for  
instance). Printed guides last longer, but take up more space. If they  
are readily available teachers will take them, but if not, they gather  
dust.


The best option? Include the study guide on the DVD. That takes up no  
shelf space, is readily available to the user and doesn't disappear  
before the DVD does.
