I'm confused here. You donated a DVD player and are looking for
videotapes?

I know this is going to sound crazy as everyone on this list is
involved with DVD, streaming, and other diverse modes of delivery,
but I have to try.
My nephew is going to a small private elementary school in northern
VA. Since I’m involved with educational media, I was asked to go to
their library and see if I could help with adding/matching materials
to their curriculum. It turns out that they don’t even have a DVD
player and can’t get the acquisition of one approved. The newer
teachers are expecting to highlight their content with media, but
the administration of course thinks it’s “leisure” and the sweet
librarian is trying very hard to make everyone happy. It makes me
wonder how rampant this type of situation is.
I’m donating a DVD player, thanks to the National Media Market
giving them out with registration a couple of years ago. PBS is
actually looking to see if they have any tapes left lying around. I
know A&E destroyed any they had. If you know of any source that
might still have some lying around that they’d like to get rid of
(for K-8) I’d really like to hear about it.
On a happier note – Michelle Obama visited my high school a couple
of weeks ago!
Best,
Rachel

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.
