I know most of you do not like blu-ray but I would like to know how much a problem it is. I am working on a kind of epic project I have been making cryptic references to and for complicated reasons much of it is Blu ray only. In terms of research I would assume most students and most libraries have reasonable access to playing on Blu ray either using a player or a laptop. I guess the bigger issue is classroom use, is it really that difficult to get Blu ray player for a classroom ( to make this even more complicated the part of this collection most likely to be used in class will be available on DVD).
Feedback appreciated but it is not possible to change formats on this material though it will be available for streaming for those schools who can do their own. -- Jessica Rosner Media Consultant 224-545-3897 (cell) 212-627-1785 (land line) jessicapros...@gmail.com
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
