About what to do with Ultraviolet codes, I tried a couple of Facebook giveaways at http://goo.gl/RpeiXT and http://goo.gl/1wa8i9.
Occasional giveaways seem to work well, but I don't think we could do this frequently enough to deal with the number of codes we're taking in. Placing the codes on display for patrons to take seems to work better: http://goo.gl/kxwobU Michael May Carnegie-Stout Public Library -----Original Message----- From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Michael May Sent: Friday, February 21, 2014 3:24 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: Re: [Videolib] UltraViolet At my public library, rather than destroy the codes, we're thinking about occasionally giving these away to patrons via random drawings on Facebook and Twitter, maybe once each month in bundles of 5 or 10 titles. Winners would have to come to the library in person to pick up the actual paper slips. Assuming state and local laws and Facebook terms of service allow this, would this be a good idea? -Mike Michael May Carnegie-Stout Public Library -----Original Message----- From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Deg Farrelly Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 8:04 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] UltraViolet We've seen on the list some discussion of Blu-Ray beforeŠ and the bundling of a standard DVD with a Blu-Ray in the initial release of some feature films. But now as I'm doing my annual order of the Academy Award nominated films DVD purchasesŠ I am seeing UltraViolet and/or a digital copy also being bundled for a large number to titles. In some cases it appears to be the only way to get the standard DVD. I'm curious (but not yellow - a reference to my earlier post) what other video librarians are doing about UltraViolet and digital copies being bundled with DVDs How are you handling this change in distribution? (Sorry, I am not interested in Blu-Ray discussion, just digital copy and UltraViolet) Thanx for your thoughts. -deg deg farrelly, ShareStream Administrator/Media Librarian Arizona State University Libraries Hayden Library C1H1 P.O.
