[Videolib] Missing parts to TV shows
Hi, all, What is your general practice on DVDs of television shows that have a missing/damaged discs that cannot be individually replaced. Do you circulate the title with the remaining discs, or do you discard the whole package and order a new set? Or does it depend on the type of show - Law Order episodes are individual, where as other shows are more serial and have continuing story arcs. Thanks a lot!

Re: [Videolib] Missing parts to TV shows
Depends on the show. 24 with missing disc is frustrating. A sitcom - usually doesn't matter. We update the record. Series are always repackaged into 2-disc cases so the missing one isn't as obvious/problematic as if had to be noted when checking in/out a box of 6 DVDs for example.

Llyn Foulkes’s The Lost Frontier is an intimate twenty-minute DVD that documents the emotional, physical and philosophical psyche of a working artist that I hope will be of interest to Washington University. Llyn Foulkes started his career in Los Angeles in the 1960’s, along with contemporaries Robert Irwin, Ed Moses and Ed Ruscha. Considered an important force in California Pop and Assemblage, Llyn is hard at work today with work owned by the Pompideau, The Art Institute in Chicago, LACMA, MOCA, The Hammer, and The Whitney among others. This intimate portrait of a working artist in his prime, his frankness about his career, and his commitment toward ‘picture making’ makes for a highly personal adventure inside the mind and studio of Llyn Foulkes. This documentary is a valuable teaching tool for anyone interested in the arts and the creative process, regardless of age.

[Videolib] DVD Cover Art in online catalogs?
Just curious... Does anyone have any idea why book cover art will show up in online catalogs, but DVD cover art (generally) doesn't? Is it a licensing issue?

Re: [Videolib] FW: [slavcin-l] Help in identifying a film
Interesting about the film Hurricane (Uragan). In Primo Levi's memoir La Tregua (The Truce, also published as The Reawakening) he describes seeing this movie when he was in a Soviet transit camp in 1945. I wonder how many copies of it were going around the Soviet Union in the 1940s 1950s. - Victoria Caplan HKUST Libarry Media Resources Microforms Sounds like John Ford's The Hurrican (Uragan means Hurrican in Czech). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hurricane_%281937_film%29 On Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 1:39 PM, Brewer, Michael brew...@u.library.arizona.edu wrote: Can anyone help? mb Michael Brewer Team Leader for Instructional Services University of Arizona Libraries brew...@u.library.arizona.edu -Original Message- From: Alexander Prokhorov [mailto:axp...@wm.edu] Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2011 12:08 PM To: slavci...@lists.wm.edu Subject: [slavcin-l] Help in identifying a film I am working with a collection of labor camp correspondence (the letter in question dates to 1944) in which an inmate reports seeing an American film titled Uragan in the Soviet labor camp in which he is being held.

Re: [Videolib] DVD Cover Art in online catalogs?
Book jackets in our catalog are pulled from Amazon.com I * suspect * the system is set to pull images based on a match between the ISBN in the catalog and on the Amazon site. But Amazon records do not display an ISBN for videos. deg farrelly, Media Librarian Arizona State University P.O.
