Does anyone know if there has been a DVD release of the Grenada TV

Films.com used to sell, but that series does not seem to be in the catalog.

Thanks for your help.

Re: [Videolib] Headphone recommendations?

2011-11-15 Thread Jo Ann Reynolds
A timely question for me, Matt. We just ordered 10 new Sennheiser HD 201
headsets. We check them out at our iDesk. They get heavy use and last
about a year. They cost about $20 each.

I thought I'd start researching headset vending machines to put in our
learning commons. They might also sell jump drives and similar small,
low cost items.

Has anyone put in a vending machine for these sorts of items? If you
respond off list I'll compile and share results.

Best,
Jo Ann

Hi folks,

Any recommendations for cheap but durable headphones for use in media
labs? We've been using super-cheap Coby and Unitone headphones for
several years, but they break quickly. We're willing to spend a little
more if it results in fewer headphones chucked in the trash.

Thanks,

[Videolib] Videos about Bloomsbury Group

2011-11-15 Thread Peterson, Erika Day - petersed
I'm looking for titles about the Bloomsbury Group or about Bloomsbury, England 
in general.  If, like me, you weren't familiar  with the Bloomsbury Group here 
is what the Wikipedia says in brief:

The Bloomsbury Group or Bloomsbury Set was a group of writers, intellectuals, 
philosophers and artists who held informal discussions in Bloomsbury throughout 
the 20th century.[1] This English collective of friends and relatives lived, 
worked or studied near Bloomsbury in London during the first half of the 
twentieth century. Although its members denied being a group in any formal 
sense, they were united by an abiding belief in the importance of the arts.[2] 
Their work deeply influenced literature, aesthetics, criticism, and economics 
as well as modern attitudes towards feminism, pacifism, and sexuality.[3] Its 
best known members were Virginia Woolf, John Maynard Keynes, E. M. Forster and 
Lytton Strachey.

I suppose titles about the individual members would be of interest as well.  
Any thoughts?

[Videolib] looking for a 16mm print of A Christmas Story

Just thought I'd shoot this group an email on the off-chance that someone
has thislooking for the 1983 film A Christmas Story with Darren
McGavin, etc on 16mm. I know it exists on that format, as I own a print of
it but I'm looking for another to use as a  back-up copy (it gets heavy use
around Christmas time!) and for replacement footage. If you have it, I'd
buy it from you.

Thanks!
