This exchange has been published on colib@ala Excuse for cross publishing Hi Fred Thanks for your advice, that is exactly what I have being doing, sending newsletters to librarians & Professors, I copy relevant e-mail addresses , I collect them myself (don't buy them), I use lists like : MESA Middle-east Studies Association, ESJS European Scholars Jewish Studies, Peace Studies Holocaust studies and more. The advice I'm looking for is how to get attention from people not on my lists? how to get librarians to interest faculty in our films? I have utilized your university library, and all our films have favorable EMRO reviews. Yet I never got an order from Buffalo University. One or more off our films can be found in the Major University libraries, yet our film "One Day After Peace" which is in over 90 academic libraries among them many Colleges, some of the most prestigious universities don't have this important film though they have extensive programs , Peace, Reconciliation, Political, Middle-east etc.' Studies ( I'm not mentioning names I don't want to offend anyone) Each of the libraries and many faculty members received my newsletters. I entered your university library web-site, I believe you never received an newsletter from me as the subjects you are liaison librarian are not relevant to our films (though Ecology, Evolution, Wild life etc. interest me personally). I started to self-distribute in 2006 our film "The Darien Dilemma" (Which I was personally involved as researcher & screen-writer) after Erez had made some films that didn't get a proper distribution. One of these films is "The Cry of the Owl" a film on the life of Himba tribe in Namibia which is now being distributed by Alexander press, If your library doesn't hold it I recommend that you will purchase it this film should interest you.

I searching for advise, from Dan and all others on this list, Let me introduce myself, I'm a pensioner running a one-man project "Docs For Education" self-distributing quality documentaries by Erez Laufer films (my son) and other directors, I can boast that I have been successful among my customers all over the globe is ST Thomas & hundreds of academic libraries. The success comes from direct approach to potentional customers usually by e-mail bringing to attention one film a time, and personal attention to clients requests. I am sure many off you have received mails from me, I send them to Librarians I believe are relevant to the subject/s of our films I have a problem, that the people that contact me usually are the acquisition librarian, they are very efficient, but I never know who is the patron that wanted the film, was it the liaison Librarian? Library director? Professor?, sometimes its even a student?. The problem is that an University library has 1-2 acquisition librarians, maybe 5-7 relevant liaison librarians but tens sometimes hundreds of relevant professors no chance that I'll be able find out who to contact, So the advice I need is how to get the Librarians to Forward my e-mails, to relevant patrons including film clubs at the university.
