Way back 15 years ago, I was finishing my MLS with a culminating project
looking at the video purchasing patterns of Ohio public librarians
related to the MPAA ratings.
Basically, I found that while R rated films was the largest group of
videos being released, PG and PG-13 were evidenced in far

Hi Doug,
Thank you for your response, and I'm sorry if it seemed like I was attacking
you. I kept my language neutral and intentionally didn't mention anyone by
name because I didn't want it it seem as if I was pointing fingers or scolding.
But I see my
intentions went awry, and if I
As the person who started this discussion, I want to thank you all for taking
part, and I now have a clearer idea of how other academic libraries deal with
the issues.
Doug and Elizabeth, you are certainly strong advocates for your principles, but
guys . . . maybe take it down a notch. Access
Thanks for your kind email Matt. I am never offended by listserve
comments. My concern was about the issues. Censorship really pushes my
buttons. I am working in a public library now and have to worry about this
all the time but really more from my administration. I keep a file of

Behind the Green Door was an early feature porn film that created a big
stir. It featured the Ivory Soap Girl, who went on to act in one of
David Cronenberg's early horror films Rabid. The film does have some
social significance but I can't comment much on it since I have never seen
it. It is an

I’d have to say I view this as a professional discussion and see no vitriol

Until I read a few more emails, that is.
Glad we are giving this topic a rest.
Most folks do the best they can with the information and resources allotted to
them, even if we don’t agree.

Videolib-ers,
Over the years we have all benefited from many a lively, and occasionally
heated, discussion.
Since yesterday, I have been contacted off-list by several subscribers

given the rights issues I am surprised anyone carries it.
I am curious though is it common for more than one company to have the same
titles for streaming? I know sometimes rights are split by use ( one
company carries it as part of larger collection and one arrange streaming

Hello Gisele,
I am not in the tangle over porno--much ado over ???
However, I do not know whether I am on the list or not.

as well as a licensed distributor.
