Another thing you could do is run a report from your ILS showing last browse and/or use date and use that to guide what you replace. We're and active use collection and if no one has used a VHS in 5 years we aren't moving to replace it with DVD. Jo Ann Jo Ann Reynolds Reserve Services

I will continue to buy combo players until they stop making them. There are far too many faculty with tapes they bring in, plus the many still in our collection that can't be replaced, or aren't used enough to rebuy in DVD format. I would push for them in the classrooms instead of replacing VHS

Hi All It's a weirdly rainy Tuesday here, and I'm listless...so I thought I'd share an amusing (for me)flash of cinematic illumination I had recently. I've been a juror for the New York Film Festival for the past 10 or 12 years. Up until the last few years, I was just a name on the masthead

Hi, Ursula. The website asks for payment information now when I fill out the registration; I don't see an option for 'pay later.' Do we need to select P.O. or check in order to delay 'til next fiscal year, rather than credit card? Thanks! Susan From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu

Hi Chelle Well, let's take this from the beginning First: What we're talking about is not really preservation. The issue of video preservation is amazingly complex and unsettled from a technical perspective (there are, for e.g., no real universal standards for video preservation currently).

Gary, I am a fan of some sports but I have not seen these docs. I knew about them and for some reason I felt that I should get them for my library's collection. You have just given me the final push on them and next fiscal year I am getting these. Goes to show the power of the moving image.

In truth, it's the power of the moving puck. Every split second a drama of calculated angles. And that football in slow mo -- as graceful as Koyaanisqatsi's falling rocket engine ballet. Add a Stacy Keach or Will Lyman voice over and you have folklore, story and against all odds rolled into
