Please post to the list. We have a devil of a time getting PBS to respond to our requests for streaming for classes. We try to use their website but faculty have found it to be too unstable, not there or not working when they need. Good afternoon, Jo Ann... posting to the list as requested: In this particular case - and I do need to offer this advice on a case by case basis as the "middle man" with the caveat that PBS/WGBH pricing and PPR availability varies depending on the title in question - I cleared this information directly with Vide-O-Go's studio rep... Regarding "A Walk To Beautiful" - Vide-O-Go's rep is advising that this particular program is designated HV/AV, aka there is no separate educational version... this is the only version that Vide-O-Go distributes through our direct relationship with WGBH and PBS and I'm being advised that the $19.95 retail price does come with PPR. You can use this program in a classroom, etc. No additional rights clearances needed. NOVA: A Walk to Beautiful DVD Description: This program tells the story of three women in Ethiopia suffering from devastating childbirth injuries. Rejected by their husbands and ostracized by their communities, the women are left to spend the rest of their lives in loneliness and shame. NOVA follows each of them on their journey to a special hospital in Addis Ababa where they find solace for the first time in years, and stays with them as their lives begin to change.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
