Indeed, but a title with no use since 2005 or 2000 might be considered passé depending on your collection goals. Jo Ann Jo Ann Reynolds Reserve Services Coordinator University of Connecticut Homer Babbidge Library Storrs, CT 860-486-1406 (p) 860-486-5636 (f) jo_ann.reyno...@uconn.edu

Yup, and that is why we decide on a case by case basis. We've also honored requests, of course, from proactive faculty who have asked that a favorite title be sought in DVD format. Christine Crowley Dean of Learning Resources Adjunct Faculty, Theatre Northwest Vista College 3535 N. Ellison Dr.

Hi All, I know that we've talked about this before but I can't seem to find the email thread I'm looking for. For those of you who are using combo DVD/VCR players, what brand and model do you prefer? And are they multi-region, both the DVD side and the VCR side? Cheers, Matt

We have about 120 titles, and they do not circulate well. This is the exact reason we haven't jumped in Overdrive for film (for the most part)-circ stats are not there-and the titles offered simply are not in demand. It's too difficult to jump thru the hoops to watch. From:
