In that case I am stymied. I don't see any major rights holder gong for that unless I suppose you can pay Netflix money to them or set up some kind of fee per use which would of course go against the grain for libraries. As a practical matter Swank is the only company that really handles a significant number of feature films for libraries, they have some major docs, but not a lot.

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.
