I usually leave that alone. It's up to the faculty member to follow these limitations also. In general, if a few people come to a class, during the published class time, I don't consider that much of an issue. They are probably tangentially related, although not technically enrolled.
If someone breaks out popcorn, well, has the threshold been compromised? Does the center hold? I'd say the center still holds. What if they add butter? Still, it's within the field of the mutual co-prosperity sphere. Next level, is it out of the classroom, or at another time, are there flyers? Have they added a public address system and a campus tuk-tuk driving around that announces "Documentary on Body Piercing. WGSTLBRTWQ Dept. 5pm. Discussion at 11." The centrifugal awareness starts to intervene, things are beginning to fall apart. Hmm, maybe it's time for a little hint of P(PR). And finally -- "Hey we found this video for $19.95 on Amazon even though Icarus is selling it for $500. Let's do a campus special showing and get the auditorium!" Ok, at this point the atom has been split. You know, Shelley Berman used to do a routine related to this, albeit in 50s-style irony, and on a 33 1/3 rpm LP to boot, about a first kiss on a first date. << Father's advice to his daughter on a first date. (apologies to Shelley Berman) >> "OK, it's your first date, and he's gonna bring you to the door, and your gonna wonder .... The first kiss, that's his business, .... The second kiss, that's your business, .... The third kiss (dad looking through the curtains) ..... that's MY BUSINESS!! ...... " hahahahahhahhaa .... now, go out and get your quota. ============== Randal Baier Eastern Michigan University Ypsilanti, Michigan 48197 ( 734) 487-2520 rba...@emich.edu tweets @rbaier – skypes @ randalbaier "Joy was his song, and joy so pure, A heart of star by him could steer." -- e.e. cummings ----- Original Message ----- From: benr...@usfca.edu To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Sent: Monday, February 17, 2014 3:13:03 PM Subject: [Videolib] Question for academic librarians re DVD screenings Hi I'm interested in what, if anything, other academic librarians do if they get wind of a screening of non-PPR dvds that they acquired at the request of a professor -- screenings which are for class curricular use but to which the campus community is also invited (though it's very unlikely that many from outside the class will show up). Do you play cop? Say nothing? Send the professor a note after the fact? Something else? Thanks for your thoughts. Debbie Benrubi University of San Francisco Gleeson Library 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.
