Greetings! My name is Dave and I'm the Office Manager and one of the program people (when the inspiration strikes me) for the Providence Community Library system (http://www.provcomlib.org) in Providence, RI.
I wanted to put the word out that we're seeking loans or donations (preferred!) of 16mm films for an upcoming and ongoing film series. Primarily interested in feature-length pictures, especially if in good condition, but I would love to hear about any ol' films currently taking up space in your closets, back rooms, basements, storage units, etc. I can pick up and haul them out of your library in the nearby RI / MA / CT area, and can work out shipping arrangements if they're coming from a distance! We'll give them a good home and make them available to the people here who want to see them! Also will consider 8mm and 35mm (or any other odd format). Please get in touch with any titles you'd like to get rid of as I'm eager to hear! Thanks, Dave -- David Dvorchak Office Manager Providence Community Library [email protected] (401) 467-2700 x2 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.
