Re: [Videolib] An outrageous pricing model

Thank you, deg. I agree - this is not sustainable, and, honestly, find it outrageous. I would have the same response. I am finding many of the models unscalable and unsustainable. I appreciate keeping this conversation going and hope we can find some reasonable common ground on pricing. Nancy On

[Videolib] The Stanley Parable

Does anyone out there in academic library land have this game in their collection? An instructor has requested it, but as I'm not a gamer, I don't even know what this entails. It's a single user game--does it have to be installed on just one computer? Is there a way to make it available to a

Re: [Videolib] An outrageous pricing model

Looks like a computer software license model. I saw similar models for complete software packages, back in the 1990's. How do the distributor think that libraries can tell how many viewers/users will be using a film? Courses can have as few as 12 students to as many as 600. The assignment can

Re: [Videolib] An outrageous pricing model

Hi all, That's one of the more ridiculous pricing models I've seen. The additional video pricing structure is useless, particularly for small schools where the chances of needing another title from the same collection are small. The one-year license that many distributors offer is also less

Neil -- I am guessing that this is for total campus and not for the individual class. Likely the license extends to the campus community. We we focusing on course request only -- the film has to be required viewing, not recommended, for individual streaming purchase/subscription. -- Nancy On

Re: [Videolib] An outrageous pricing model

It is outrageously expensive if it is an annual cost and we would not purchase from them. We do without if the cost is too high. Or, we might try to claim fair use, depending on the title and proposed use. Jo Ann Jo Ann Reynolds Reserve Services Coordinator University of Connecticut Homer

Re: [Videolib] Looking for a distributor: Valley of the Innocent / Tal der Ahnungslosen (2003)

Well it is a 10 year old German film never distributed in the US and maybe not much at all so not going to be easy. Basically I would start with the original production companyand sales info which you can always find in the Variety review

Hi, friends, I'm posting here not so much to drum up business (although, obviously, your donations are welcome) but to let you know about the project since it's an issue that, I have found, resonates with the library community. So here's my pitch. Check it out. Share if you can. Donate if you

Re: [Videolib] An outrageous pricing model

We did not receive this video offer, but I agree that the pricing is completely unattainable. I also think that vendors don't realize the difficulty in pricing by users (speaking for academic libraries). It's best (for us) to negotiate a site license in terms of FTE to avoid the
