Right now, we are not purchasing blu-ray. As long as the packaging includes the basic information about the title, that's fine. We double shelve our dvds anyway.

Benton Street Aurora, IL 60505 Phone: 630-264-4100 FAX: 630-896-3209 [email protected] www.aurora.lib.il.us From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jessica Rosner Sent: Monday, November 15, 2010 3:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Videolib] Question about buying Blu-Rays I am dealing with a film where the producer is considering releasing it Blu-Ray ONLY. It is a very visual film that I imagine will look great, but I also imagine that will cut down on sales. One alternative is to release a standard HD Copy but with bare bone boxing Vs the Blu-Ray. Any feedback on if you would not buy blu-ray or not buy something in generic box would be appreciated. You can email me directly if you want. Jessica
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.
