Re: [Videolib] Looking for distributors with PPR for Russian/Jewish films
Deg, I have specialized in Jewish films for yeas and I know none of these titles. Do you have any information they were ever shown in the US. It is possible they showed at one of the many Jewish Film Festivals , if so they will keep contact info. Basically I think it is very unlikely any have US distribution so you are going to have to do some serious online research to find the contact info. You do have company names so you might be able to track them down but again since it is very unlikely any of them have US rights holders you will have to find the owners individually and negotiate a deal with them. I will email off list with a good contact name who will likely know if any of them ever played in US festivals On Mon, Apr 16, 2012 at 5:57 PM, Deg Farrelly deg.farre...@asu.edu wrote: A colleague is working with a program that wants to hold a film series this coming fall semester, and is looking for the following titles, with PPR.

Re: [Videolib] documents or instructions on weeding Media
I've been doing a lot of weeding this year of 16mm films and VHS tapes. Here's what I did. Involved objective shuffling of spreadsheet data, and then some subjective decision making: First ran reports that included copyright date, date added to collection, circulation data -- total circs and circs within a shorter time frame (I did 3 years 5 years back, as well as lifetime circs). Reviewed for weeding: 1. No circs at least 5 years in collection 2. Low circs (esp if none within last couple of years) more than 10 years old 3. What kind of content? Feature film or documentary/educational? (Didn't weed feature films unless appeared to have problems). Is title of ongoing interest? Is content classic or likely to be out-of-date (ex: history vs science)? Is it content of local interest? Out of print? If so, are other copies listed as available via WorldCat? 5. For collection development purposes, I also looked at the high circ VHS -- Were the circs recent? If so, looked to see if DVD/streaming was available for reasonable cost. After identified titles were pulled: Did visual review of pulled tapes -- Was content what I had thought? Main problem identified at this point was what to do with video in a series -- keep all or withdraw partial? Also did a visual review of what was left on shelves for tapes that looked old beat-up. Checked circ stats -- if still being used, sent up for repackaging. Most candidates for weeding were so clearcut that I didn't consult subject collection developers regarding the withdrawal. I did let some know that we should look for newer materials in a few subject areas. If in doubt, I generally put it back on the shelf.

I would be using this with 1st year students as they are allowed to use a documentary as a source. So I'm looking for a decent, simple, straightforward 'form' with criteria for evaluating a doc. As usual, I'm time crunched, class is Monday eve - thought I'd check if anyone has a quick and dirty form. If not, no problem.

Re: [Videolib] documents or instructions on weeding Media
Barb: This is great. I've been doing the same type of weeding, only I don't have much time to do this, other than during intersessions. How do you have the time to do review of content? Sometimes I'll invite a faculty member to come to the shelves with me, and we go through the report of circs together to make decisions. They know their curriculum, so I find their input valuable. However, if something isn't circ-ing - what's the point of warehousing it, unless it's classic, which many docs. are not. (not all, of course there's always classic BBC series you just want to keep cause they're so good). We're a college, not a research university, so we keep our collection relevant to our users. The same procedure really comes true for print, i.e. monographs. Look at circ history, look at content, condition. Great work, and thanks for writing it out for us.

[Videolib] Security System Recommendation
Hi Everyone, My name is Josh Moorman and I just started as the new Head Librarian at the New York Film Academy - Los Angeles. We're currently looking at upgrading the library in a variety of ways with one of these being the selection, installation, and implementation of a security system for the collection. Almost half of the collection consists of DVD titles with the remainder being books and screenplays. With having the sheer number of options appearing daunting at best, I thought I would ask those on the list who may have experience with a project such as this. Please reply to me off list. Thanks in advance.

Hey, I'd like to start producing educational videos. Would someone be willing to explain how the industry works or point me out to web resources.
