 If so, we need your suggestions!  If you are a librarian not affiliated

The attached link is a music video made by Tom Haggerty and Lia Albini
from USG as well as others. It is a pretty impressive production that
features all of the key UConn landmarks in a promotion of the
unsponsored aspects of Spring Weekend.

Re: [Videolib] The Swimmer in DVD?

2010-04-23 Thread Jessica Rosner
It is out of print and apparently rare enough to get a premium price.
Other than getting a cheaper used copy that are also available from
third party sellers I don't  know your options. I do notice it can be
legally downloaded for $10 on Amazon but no idea if that will work for
 your situation. Obviously it won't if it is needed for a class.

 to be out of production, but I seem to be able to acquire one from a third

 through unknown third-party sources. I have tried BT, Amazon, and Midwest.
 Anyone have other ideas?�  Thanks…jen
