Re: [Videolib] FW: UltraViolet -- opinions?
After looking at this Ultraviolet, one impact I can see is that if we as a library buy something physical by one of the partners in this UV group, then we also have access to a digital copy that we can play on a digital devise, so, it can in fact double the usable copies in the collection, if a student has a video checked out, we can offer to some one else who wants to watch it via a device in the library that digital copy. Have a few iPads (If Apple ever signs on) or some similar device to check out. It could be helpful in the case of high demand items. jhs John H.

Snagfilms is the owner of the esteemed IndieWire -- the most important news service on indie films (and its free to subscribe). I don't know their releases or services, but I suspect they're pretty good.
