We also do not support Blu-ray at Fairfield University. We have one machine in our 90-seat auditorium but no machines available to patrons within the library to view films like we have VHS and DVD players. We bought a few combo packs because I didn't want to wait months and months for the DVD-

[Videolib] average cost of DVD today

We're doing some policy changes and Circ needs me to come up with some statistics on average cost of DVDs these days. I am getting our average cost in-house but that number will obviously be skewed by the high cost of academic films and the low cost of feature films. I tried Bowker Annual, but

Anyone know who owns the PPR for the original The Boys in the Band (1970)? Paramount produced and distributed the DVD in 2008 which is still in print. Do I contact them? Seems every time I call one of the big studios, I never get an actual person, only voicemail. I checked with Swank and the

[Videolib] free public screenings of streaming items

Is there a loophole to the fair use/purchase PPR issue when something is streaming on the Web? For instance, if a film is streaming for free online (no subscription, just free), can someone schedule an event around this and advertise it? It makes sense to me that you should be able to do this, bu
