Hi everyone, I’m writing up a PPR/Feature Film blurb for our website. When faculty / grads / students want to show a feature film, do you direct them to Swank or Criterion, or does your library (librarian, media library) investigate? How many of you consider this a library service? For the most part, this will not come out of our budget, but folks ask how to get rights and I wanted to give them a decent answer. Right now my advice to them is to contact Swank Digital (on their own). I’m completely happy to help all of them, but it might be best if they know how to begin on their own.
Thanks for your input, Best, Lorraine lorraine wochna Alden Library, Ohio U Instruction Coordinator Liaison to African America Studies, English, Film, Theatre Athens OH 45701 740.597.1238 http://libguides.library.ohiou.edu/profile/lorraine
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.
