But, Jessica, you'll be relieved to know that not all movies are about the male 
gaze: 
Peeping Tom subjugates the plight of the migrant worker in post-war America 
through its use of mise-en-scene.

I assume that someone excerpted phrases and generated sentences on the modeel 
"Preposition x, film title verb y preposition z."?

 
The juxtaposition of poverty and nature in Top Hat fetishizes suburban notions 
of containment. I always wondered what "Isn't it a lovely day to be caught in 
the rain" really meant.

Re: [Videolib] notice to faculty re video/dvd acquisitions

2011-02-04 Thread Gail Fedak 

Rhonda,
I notify potential users about new releases when I receive announcements 
from videonews or directly from distributors.  If we get requests to 
purchase, we either do so or place the title(s) on a wish list. Once a 
title is purchased, the requestor(s) and potential users are notified by 
the cataloger. Only one or two departments have faculty liaisons for the 
Media Library, and those have been only modestly successful over the 
years. We work most effectively with individual faculty members. 
Department chairs are not always keen on doing our homework for us. Our 
main library acquisition folks don't generally get involved in media 
purchases, but with streaming packages, that has changed somewhat. Our 
new database is supposed to handle notifications of new acquisitions, 
but I don't think it works yet. Prior to the new database, we posted 
monthly lists of new acquisitions on our website, but I doubt many 
people used them. Our circulation staff are good about spreading the 
word, as Gary described, when patrons come in.

Hope this helps,
Gail

Hi everyone,

For the academic university crowd

I'm curious as to how you notify or if you notify faculty who request 
that the library purchase a video/dvd.


1.  Do you notify the selector when the item has come in?

1a) Do you only notify the selector when it is a rush?

2.  If you have Faculty library liaisons in each department, do you 
notify them of new media in their subject area?


2a) if so, do you ask them to spread the word

2b) if not, do you notify the department at large by 
sending a mass email t to all the profs?


3.  Do you notify librarian subject selectors and ask them to forward 
on the notification?


4.  Do you rely solely on an online newsletter or monthly acquisitions 
list for books and media in one?


5.  Alternatives?

Thanks for any responses,
