All part of being a librarian" -- James Turner "Rex Libris" Transitus profusum est nocens! >>> Susan Weber <[email protected]> 9/15/2011 3:19 PM >>> Folks: I've been off this list for more than a month, so here I am, back in the fold. As I'm sure some of you are aware, some films are being released only on Blu-Ray (BD). Our College doesn't currently own a Blu-Ray player, although it is on the purchase request list (1 or 2 machines, not converting all existing classrooms). Can someone tell me if BD will play in a computer, as opposed to having a Blu-Ray player?

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.
