Collective Wisdom
I've gotten some questions on what will happen at the conference that
Friday, so I have a reply directly from the Conference Director. Note
that for K-12 folks there is a module being advertised also as School
Docs. But programs for school teachers, school and university
Just returned from watery Rhode Island, and saw this topic, how can I not
respond to this inquiry with a name like Green Planet Films!
I have many favorites, but here are 5 titles that are information packed,
and interesting to watch, even entertaining I'd say. Very popular with
schools and
Hello All,
We just found out through an article published in our campus paper that
our campus equipment unit will no longer be supporting VHS in the
classrooms because it is too hard to fix the VHS decks and because DVD
equipment is easier to use than tape decks; DVDs are more portable; they
Beth that is a lot of VHS tapes, what is the proper disposal for that
many tapes? Can you throw them in the trash or do you have to do
something environmentally safe with that many tapes?

Where to start? So much stupidity, so little time to vent...
First of all, as you have wisely pointed out, they'd very likely be
breaking copyright. A unit such as the one you're talking about really
doesn't meet the requirements of Section 108 (regarding duplication of

Hmm--so it is going to be easier to convert 5000 VHS tapes to DVD than to keep
VHS players in working order? What will the resulting DVDs be like? I suspect
that digitizing and constructing a useful and reliable DVD will be more
expensive than buying a commercial one.
I recall a thread (this
If you can't get your tech staff to reconsider, I would suggest looking into
circulating smaller VHS players to instructors who book films for class
screenings.

I sympathize with Beth, because it's the exact situation that we're
going through right now. I'm very new to the library, and apparently
there's a long history with the weeding of our VHS collection. The IT
department made the decision not to service VHS players, and they were
also under the
The most important group to be consulted here is the faculty using the
tapes -- if they were not, it's not too late to engage them in using the
power they have to demand the services they need to teach.
That means not only the collections libraries have, but the equipment to
view. If there's
A little off topic, but in academia have you noticed that IT departments can
unilaterally make decisions and do what ever they want, no questions asked,
ever, no matter what the impact. But if the Library makes a decision, all
faculty (whether or not the decision impacts them or not) go into
My campus is having the exact same problem! I used to be in charge of
both the campus AV support (meaning I installed and maintained all the
equipment that we used to play our collection) and our VHS tapes, audio
cassettes, CDs, and DVDs. A few years ago our IT department demanded
control of the
Greetings all,
I'm not a film librarian (if I can't find anything on Google, I'm stuck) and
could use the assistance of your knowledge and expertise to identify films
that might meet these criteria (5 different requests in all).
#1 Is there a film about Blake's Song's of Innocence and Experience
Hi
Check out www.films.com (Films Media Group). I notice there's a DVD on
Blake and Songs of Innocence. If your instructor is brave, there's also a
wild and wooly video of Allen Ginsberg singing (well, sort of) Songs of
Innocence. (http://www.thinairvideo.com/210_Ginsberg-Blake.html)
