Several postings recently have come from Ruth Diskin Films advertising their Israeli films. The cost is $300 for university libraries and $115 for public libraries. I wrote and asked if there could be another fee for synagogue libraries and I was answered in the negative. The libraries in our chapter (Florida West Coast) cannot afford this price. Can our organization appeal to and negotiate with Ruth Diskin? Many of her films are prize winners and belong in our DVD collections. I would appreciate responses on Hasafran.
