[Videolib] Bye bye, videolib
Hi all, I've been on here for lord knows how long now - I'm finding I no longer need the info/discussion on videolib, so I'll be unsubscribing. However, I'll remember the personalities! And, hats off to Ursula for keeping the Media Market going and vibrant! At one point, I'd hoped to have that gig, but Ursula is fabulous at her job, so Media Market is just fine, thankfully. Always support the Media Market!

Trim all extraneous quotes, multiple list footers, multiple poster sig blocks, etc.? -- Why can't you first quote that text to which you're replying (and ONLY the text to which you're replying), and then, below that, reply to the text to which you're responding?

I have rebuilt BH 540/552/15xx/25xx et al, given parts, from the bottom up in around 2-3 hours. Heck, I've done Singers and Eikis et al. Haven't done it in a long time, but it would fun to do it again :) I have a feeling that parts are not available anymore, though.

Truly you are a giant in the field and well respected all around. We understand however that when you started in this gig you were 6'3 and you are now like, what? 5' 4 ?? Fighting the good fight does take its toll. I can tell you from the other side of the fence, after 8 years of retirement, It's great on the outside ! I have one small piece of advice about retirement - Don't be tempted to volunteer in the local library or get involved with the local FOL group ..it will just make you crazy . . ..pick something you know nothing about to volunteer in - like building houses for Habitat For Humanity or a food bank. You'll be happier for it. Congratulations on a stellar career. Your presence will be missed. Enjoy life, smile, travel, read and eat good food. Cheers, Mark Richie Hey Mark, Good to hear you.

Re: [Videolib] FW: UltraViolet -- opinions?
Sorry, Rick, that did sound harsh, I suppose. I guess I just think that it tends to work better for teachers/professors when specific needs are met with specific titles, rather than when an institution or consortium buys a huge catalog of ready-made stuff that they're then told they should pick from. I'm sorry if that sounds snobbish. It does sound snobbish, but I'm retired so I guess I'm beyond it. My career as a Media Director in K-12 was focused on purchasing video materials for the circulating library that closely matched the curricula of our local schools. Many, if not most, of the vendors I dealt with went to great lengths to acquire and/or produce materials that were a match to the curricula of our schools, and we painstakingly previewed and reviewed the materials for that curricular match. Is that different than what you snobs do?

[Videolib] The new media world?
Hi, Haven't written for awhile, but have been reading all the discussion lately. Ran across this (pretty harsh, but real) article linked from my favorite blog: It¹s not a question of entitlement. It¹s a question of clear vision about the inevitability of painful, weird change, and whether we can each find the courage to face it without folding. If anyone¹s acting ³entitled² right now, it¹s the many publishing companies who are perfectly happy to leverage every conceivable economy of scale on the internet (free marketing, free distribution, free testimonials, orders-of-magnitude growth opportunities etc.) but, then somehow find the monarch-sized stones to piss and moan about how they can¹t make money off of it as fast as they¹d prefer. Hard cheese, guys. Join the club. If you follow your customers, you¹ll follow the money. If you follow the medium, you follow the traffic. But, if you follow nothing but your own deranged preferences about controlling every aspect of how your material is consumed and paid for, you might as well dust off your resume and sharpen your spatula. Here¹s my point: businesses don¹t get to pick the timetable for when their preferred model takes a permanent dirt nap. It¹s insane to me that these businesses¹ fans see this so much more clearly than their actual stakeholders do. The fans want desperately to see these places stay alive, and many, like me, pay tons of actual cash every month or year to support that. But, then we also find ourselves having to beg them to face the non-negotiable reality of a scary, complicated, and hard-to-monetize new environment where nobody cares how attached you are to your spreadsheet. Bravely vowing to continue pretending it¹s 1972 is a terrific treatment for a film, but it¹s a crap way to run your growing business. To me, all this is hardly any sign of a greedy or skinflint consumer. ³Entitlement?² Please. More like a last-ditch intervention from the rapidly shrinking number of folks who actually care. They¹ll keep reading and buying something for decades after these dinosaurs are on their way to fossils. http://www.kungfugrippe.com/post/439434786/entitled-to-care Best, Rick Faaberg NWRESD Regional Director of Multimedia Services, Retired VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions.
