Re: [Videolib] Blu-ray Collection Development Policies

We don't really have a policy per se. We don't have a specific Blu-Ray collection, but we do purchase the combo packs - Disney, Criterion, when released. Or, if a film receives great reviews, but is only released on Blu-Ray, we'll also get that. For a while, one of our branch selectors was g

Re: [Videolib] Blu-ray Collection Development Policies

My situation is similar to Becky's. We don't have a policy specifically for Blu-Rays, but will get the combo packs (catalog them separately), only Blu-Ray releases, or if the faculty specifically request a Blu-Ray version. We did this for the Lord of the Rings trilogy last year which a film studies

Not sure if anyone else has posted this, apologies if it has already been shared. Seemed like an item of interest. And who knew there was a publication called Plagiarism Today!? https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2016/01/13/copyright-and-the-first-super-bowl/ On Friday, January 15, 2015, the NFL

Re: [Videolib] Copyright and the First Super Bowl — from Plagiarism Today

Well, having watched it as an 8-year-old (I still have the program from the game -- the NFL sent it to me for free when I wrote to ask for one!) and seeing games from that era today, I do know what they mean when they say it's not presentable for modern day audiences. We have been so accustomed to

Re: [Videolib] Copyright and the First Super Bowl — from Plagiarism Today

Not remotely a fan of NFL and how it operates but this guy is an idiot who reminds of Al Dettlof a deranged film collector who had the only surviving copy of the 1910 Edison Frankenstein. There was no copyright issue but Detloff also thought it was worth a million dollars and when no one would give
