I am now aware they were ever considered illicit, but I am not always in the loop on tech stuff. Dumb question though, don't you mean a multi-system player? I assume that if a DVD is say region 3, the player is simply able to play most or all different regions. I thought region free referred to discs that could play on any player. I would consider such players essential for ANY school, in fact several would be a good idea.

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.
