All,
I am slowly but surely exhausting my repertoire of places to possibly
locate streaming rights for two films we currently own in DVD format:
"Kiss Me Kate"
Jack Cummings, producer; with Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel, etc.
Warner Home Entertainment (Metro Goldwyn Mayer), c. 2003, 1953
"West Side Story"
Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, directors; with Natalie Wood,
Richard Beymer, etc.
Mirisch Pictures, in association with Seven Arts productions, Inc.,
c.2003, 1961
I know that streaming feature films is a stretch, but I have emails out to
Swank and Warner Brothers. No responses yet. I did see that it was
available digitally through various sources listed at "Can I Stream It",
but this request originated from a faculty who is teaching an online only
class and she is interested in 1-3 years streaming for her course.
Any ideas, suggestions, or "you have to be kiddings" would be appreciated.
Thanks, and happy weekend.

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.
