[Videolib] Sambizanga

2015-01-23 Thread Anna Goslen
Hi,

A faculty member has requested the film Sambizanga (1973). New Yorker Films
appears to own the rights. Does anyone know if a DVD release is planned?

Many thanks!
Anna

Hi,

I don't believe there is any format or copy available other than the 16mm
print owned by The New York Public Library.  We've been loaning the print
[often!] with permission from the filmmaker.

Cheers,

I have a lead for the first three that I would rather give you off list, In
general I would suggest politely asking last known distributor ( if they
are around) to give you contact info

It is highly unlikely a dvd is planned. There is a small chance New Yorker
could do DVD-R with PPR ( I realize you do not need PPR but they have not
released home video) You should contact Jonathan Howell as Linda Duchin has
left

[Videolib] dvd/blu-ray collection data

2015-01-23 Thread Carrie Russell
Hi all:

A faculty member at the American University Washington College of Law asked if 
I would find 3-4 responses to the following two questions for a student clinic 
research project :


How much do college and university libraries spend on DVDs and/or Blu-rays 
(broken out is better, but any number is good) - on an annual basis, perhaps 
over the last 5 years (in case there’s an interesting/relevant trend)?

How many DVD’s and/or Blu-Rays are held in college/university library 
collections (aggregate, average, whatever you have)

Could you take a moment to reply to me?  Tell me just the stats for your own 
library.  I am not looking for an aggregate number for all media library, just 
individual library numbers so I can say Y University spends XXX dollars on 
DVDs, and  has X # of DVDs and X# of blu-rays.

I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks
-Carrie
