There's talk here of getting rid of the media desk, and merging it with the
regular circulation desk, in an attempt to same money on the staff budget.
I don't like this, but I'm not sure why.
We have two collections--one which circulates to students, and I'm sure that
could be handled at the
We have merged all our desks and have most circ done through express check out
(self-serve), so the desks can spend more time on problems, information and
reference. We've been able to move people to other work by reducing the desk
staffing (or move them to higher volume areas). All of our
A professor would like to show Glue

that used to distribute it (Picture This! Entertainment) has closed up shop.
Does anyone know who now handles PPR for this title?

Sadly some chance this could be caught up in bankruptcy limbo, however in
cases like this I suggest you locate the original review from Variety which
should list the original producer/company and see if you can google them. I
only vaguely recall Picture This but there is a good chance rights are
OK next time I am charging at least $10 for these searches. The company you
want is the Bureau Company in London. I suggest you email them and explain
briefly you want to show the film (I hope you have access to a legit DVD)
and understand there will be a fee and give them some info on the regular
Danish wedding cookies always look wintery to me. For that matter, so does any
cookie with a powered sugar topping. Hot apple cider is popular for our winter
events.
Also, All-White parties we're all the rage with our students last year.
Everyone was asked to wear white and the decorations
When I pulled stats for our top circulating VHS tapes (looked at overall
circs limited to past few years), I found that I could only buy half of the top
30 on DVD.

Not much of a decorator...I cook!...so here goes...
Sundae Bar...Ice cream and all the fixins to make a Sundae...and Root Beer to

White elephant gift exchange are always fun, especially when it is a
guess the purpose of the gift as well.
You could also focus on the fact that it may be winter solstice here, it
is Summer Solstice in the Southern hemisphere, and who would not want to
be reminded of sun and fun in
We are a small university (only 6500ish FTE). We just moved into our new
library last year, with staffing 'til 2am most nights. Student workers and
training them is such a headache, I proposed combining our desks (I technically
oversee them both). Circ on first floor; media/reserves on the

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

Looks like we're a chatty bunch today. Let me add, if I might, a hypothetical
for the collective wisdom that is videolib.
Let's say a campus's multicultural concerns committee (or some such entity)
wishes to hold a faculty development session. Said session will be closed,
attended by 20 or
Hi...your making my brain hurt, Susan
A lot of this kind of stuff boils down to risk assessment. If it were me,
I'd show the damn thing and be done with it. It seems to me that your
good-faith efforts are good enough for your particular situation (Save
your paper trail, though)

It's a closed educational session, the video is not the focus, the advertising
doesn't highlight that the presentation includes screening the program, and you
have evidence that you thought about the fair use and attempted to purchase a
copy...
I would just use the video.
Hypothetically, of
I would hate for Michael Brewer or Gary to faint, but I would not even ask
for rights. This is one of the few examples I can think of that could be
covered by BOTH fair use and face to face . A bit odd in the sense that
the students are faculty, but either way you slice it, this would be
