Amazon has been somewhat useful as has YESASIA and DVDASIAN. Any other leads will be greatly appreciated. We have a Chinese class asking for a number of DVD's and we're running in to the region problem (high tech classrooms have Blue Ray players but not multiregion players). Thanks!

Here at UConn, we purchase feature films, documentaries, etc, pretty much only in support of classes. We do not have a film collection for other purposes. When it stops being used for classes we keep it until the format is obsolete.

I am working on a CD policy for the collection. The basis of my policy is that each film would have both potential use in the classroom and potential recreational/entertainment appeal. So, a film like Dumb and Dumberer may not qualify (unless I, or another bibliographer, identified it as being in support of a class), and a psychology training video would not qualify, for example. I am wondering if anyone has a similar collection, or has seen policies/resources that may be helpful as I craft ours--I am especially interested in gift statements for what will or will not be accepted, as well as any specifics that could help describe such a collection. I've consulted the following resources (including a small number of policies available online): Video collection development in multi-type libraries : a handbook / edited by Gary P. Handman. Developing an outstanding core collection : a guide for libraries / Carol Alabaster. Thank you, Kimberly Norris Northeastern Illinois University 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. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2012 17:55:14 -0400 From: "Music Hunter" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Videolib] [Videonews] Asian DVD's To: "'Video Library News'" <[email protected]>, <[email protected]> Message-ID: <00e301cda1b1$c5889b80$5099d280$@com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi Jo Ann, I did a search on our database just using the word " Asian " & found these available DVDs ( see attachment ). I'm sure we have many more but I would need additional specifics to see availability. Columns I & J have product details of interest. Disregard retail prices shown. Music Hunter invoices libraries with maximum discounts applied. Also, your University already has an open account with Music Hunter now as they've been purchasing CDs from us for many years.
