If you have a computer in your setup, the free VLC Media Player will play most DVDs.

There's nothing I'd disagree with in your reply and I hope you didn't think I was trying to get around the issue. I was more looking for something authoritative I could send to the professor other than the Librarian's word as we do not yet have official course reserve guidelines explicitly spelled out for me to easily point to. As for acquiring a region 2 player, I've brought it up a few times without getting much traction although it's probably been due to the fact that the VAST majority of required titles we use can be had as region 1 discs. Having said that, the school is poised to move into a brand new facility in the next couple of months which sounds like the perfect time to me to try to get at least one multi-region player we can use. Anyway, thanks for the reply. Best regards. Josh
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.
