I think that kind of snippet disc would be just fine – you can find tons of podcasts out there doing just that…since the focus seemed to be on marketing the collection, my suggestion was a blog with links from tracks to the catalog record and then a simple link to “listen to this playlist at…” on 8

Just to make this into a discussion (something for a shortened week), would Reno's idea have more of a leg to stand on if it was changed to a recorded review of newly acquired music (or to make this more relevant to this list movies) instead of a sampler? The snippets would still be there but he w

Hi Reno and welcome to the list Unfortunately, I don't think your project would have any legal--i.e. fair use--leg to stand on whatsoever, snippit or not... It's one thing to extract a limited number of short clips for use in educational or scholarly contexts; it's another thing altogether to reg

Andrew Bergman. The other Bergman. The Funny Bergman. I agree with you on The Freshman. He also co-wrote BLAZING SADDLES, THE IN-LAWS, FLETCH and SOAPDISH and his book on 1930s comedies is excellent.

Reminds of when filters were keeping school children from reading about the Mars Explorer. The web address was something like www.marsexplorer.gov but it only picked up the "sex" in the middle and assumed it was dirty. On Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 10:52 AM, Shoaf,Judith P wrote: > I think what happen

I think what happened is that the "p"-word, the one that rhymes with the first syllable of morning, got picked up by the filters and the posts are therefore tagged as spam. It's true that sometimes perfectly good discussions get tagged this way. Maybe other members can check their junk or quara

Thankfully, there's excellent people at Indiana University and even if the collection is dormant for a while, I'm sure they have an eye out for them. One of them even sang me the theme song to Andrew Bergman's SO FINE (a not-so-guilty pleasure) on the corner of 15th and Chestnut in Philly the othe

That is great work, Jessica! Librarians know how hard this kind of preservation is and that it often takes the effort of one person with purpose to see it through. Maybe we can vote you in as an honorary librarian! (You don't get the secret handshake, though. Sorry.) Ciara On 11/10/2010 8:11 A

Somewhat off topic, but my single greatest contribution to film studies was that some years ago I "saved" the largest collection of 35mm porn prints and got them sent to an academic institution. After over 90 years as a crucial part of the film business, the studios finally pushed the majority of f
