[Videolib] Enhanced video metadata

2010-09-28 Thread Ball, James (jmb4aw)
Hi All, Our OPAC now allows us to draw on data sets from outside of our ILS. One potential benefit of this new capability is the ability provide additional information about items other than just what's in the MARC records. I wonder if anyone is using an outside vendor (such as Allmovies) to

I agree with Gary that Blu-ray and streaming are solutions to two different issues, one being image and the other being convenience. For my film studies professors I do buy Blu-ray. We've outfitted our four teacing spaces with Blu-ray decks and HD projectors or TVs, and converted 4 of our

If it were anyone but professors I would suggest asking them if the library should digitize and stream books because it would be cheaper and easier than buying them, but with professors they would say yes (but probably not THEIR books). As I said new non fiction films probably are negotiated so

It is right of first sale that allows you to check out the DVD to as many people you like. Not really sure why fair use comes up as much it does here , other than it sounds so nice cuddly. Fair Use only comes into play when someone needs to use a portion of a work ( film, book whatever) to create
