Dear Ms. Laurent, Actually "Girls Apart" is part of California Newsreel's backlist; it was removed from active circulation after the end of apartheid. We do print-on-demand for these titles. We can sell you a VHS with permission to make a DVD for $195. Or we could sell you a DVD for $195 plus lab charges for the DVD burn. Like most of our older titles, it is not available for digital streaming because the digital clearances for underlying footage and songs have not been paid. The reason we charge additionally for streaming licenses is precisely to pay the clearances for our pre-2000 titles. Unfortunately, it will take years to work through the backlog but if we don't films like "Ethnic Notions," "Blue Eyed," "James Baldwin: the Price of the Ticket," etc will no longer be available.

Fully legal under 108 and could circulate just like your badly deteriorating copy. http://librarycopyright.net/108spinner/ mb Michael Brewer Team Leader for Instructional Services University of Arizona Library [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kathleen DeLaurenti Sent: Monday, April 19, 2010 12:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Videolib] Source for "Girls Apart" Hi all - Our copy of "Girls Apart" is on VHS and badly deteriorated and I haven't been able to find a vendor who is currently selling it online.

End of videolib Digest, Vol 29, Issue 33 **************************************** 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.
