Re: [Videolib] Plea from a Media Collection Decimation Zone

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Jared -
Sorry to hear that your admin is dictating this move without giving you time to 
plan.
Take a deep breath.
Open stacks are not the enemy, and can be a great thing for visibility & usage 
of the collection.
Sounds like they're still going to be within sight of the library staff? That's 
good.
But you do need some form of security. As others have mentioned, you can go 
with locked & tattletaped cases for the DVDs or a split where you have open 
browsing but keep discs in sleeves behind the counter.
Don't worry too much about the VHS tapes. If they're titles still being used, 
they're going to be on reserve and/or booked right? Focus on tattletaping those 
tapes rather than the VHS collection as a whole.
Ask for money for cases and for "shrinkage" money.  Remind them that the 
average cost of all those educational films is about $250 each. (In reality, 
theft tends to be the cheap popular films, which is irritating but not as 
expensive.)
Oh, let them know that your patrons aren't really liking browsing by accession 
numbers, so you'd like to talk to cataloging about having them classed by call 
numbers.

On year 8 of successful implementation of open video stacks & of using 
increased circulation stats to justify increased budget,

Sadly, I've previously spotted many of these "books" for sale on Amazon.
There's a generic publisher name, no indication that they've merely printed 
pages from the internet.
You have to be paying attention to notice that it's a 7 page publication...

Yes, this a collection of short films based on Nadine Gordimer's short stories. 
 The collection title is listed as SIX FEET OF COUNTRY, but CITY LOVERS & 
COUNTRY LOVERS are two of the 5-6 titles that are part of this collection.  
According to the various OCLC records there are really only about 20 libraries 
that own this series on VHS.  It's looking like Interlibrary Loan may be our

This is one of those illegal piracy/ digital locker sites.  They use words like

Would this by chance be one of the CITY LOVERS/ COUNTRY LOVERS

would check OCLC for this but keep in mind it has been out of print

[Videolib] Six Feet of the Country

[Sayre, J. Richard]

Anyone know where we might find a VHS or DVD version of SIX FEET OF THE COUNTRY 
(1982)?   It's a 30-minute film adaptation of Nadine Gordimer's book by the 
same title.  I'm having a very difficult time finding it available in any form 
for purchase with the exception of a "free" (for paid subscribers) download 
from the following site:  
http://www.dl4all.com/xsf/tag/six+feet+of+the+country.html.

OCLC Record: Six feet of the 
country

Thanks for any assistance.
Cheers,
Rick

Re: [Videolib] Rock It

[Danielle Reay]

One of my favorites is the musical  Heißer Sommer.   It's like the DDR's 
solution to Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello.  There's a line in one of the 
songs that translates to something like, "We're a collective not a gang!"  
Definitely not as heavy as Fassbinder.

Eileen! I don't know about the Marzuk film, but I can assure you that they are 
many German films out there that
are not as "heavy" as Der weisse Band or a Fassbinder film.

Here is the link to a LibGuide I prepared highlighting the many German (and 
Dutch!) language feature
films that we have here at USC:

Dear CW,

Does anyone know if Mike Marzuk's Rock It  (2010) will be released on DVD in 
the U.S?I am not sure if has been shown in the U.S.  in theaters.  It has 
been released on DVD in Germany (Region 2).  The film  appears to the German 
version of High School Musical.  Our German professor is trying to find German 
films to show his students that are not as serious as a Fassbinder film.   They 
would like more films like In July or Soul Kitchen than Run Lola Run or  The 
White Band.

[Videolib] Star Wars: the Complete Saga on DVD

[Chris McNevins]

Hello All,

We're doing the VHS-->DVD upgrade bit and I've had a request to replace
our VHS version of Star Wars Trilogy.  I would like to get the "Complete
Saga" but it was only released on Blu-Ray in September and now there are
rumblings that it will be released in 3d sometime this year.  Does
anyone have any idea if "the Complete Saga" will ever get release in
good old-fashioned "DVD??"

Thanks!

Chris

Re: [Videolib] I could not resist passing this on. It came from a librarian friend

[Jessica Rosner]

Hard to imagine someone so cheap or stupid that they can't print it
themselves or ask Kinko's to do it.
However IF the first line and front cover said something like " A
compilation of Wikipedia entries that likely contain mistakes  on the
life and work
of Lillian Gish than fine. It is beyond my comprehension why anyone
would want something with disclaimers that it probably is not
entirely accurate and has not been vetted. As one who had to correct a
Wikipedia factual mistake half  a dozen times ( about Greg Maddux of
course)
until it stuck I can attest that one would never want to rely on them.

I don't think there's anything wrong with printing out and collating 
a Wikipedia entry if it's clearly indicated on the cover that the 
content of the book is what is available online for free. Some people 
may want to have the information in a hard copy format without having 
to print it out themselves. But, the provenance does appear a little 
too hidden in this case.  The back cover claims that a portion of the 
sales of each book will be donated to the Wikimedia Foundation, for 
all that's worth.

Someone should be the first to review it on Amazon, go on Jessica, do it!
