Ah, update. Swank Digital Campus (university arm) does not license Normal Heart. I talked with Sarah @ Swank and HBO will not give streaming rights. Grrrr.

Hi Lorraine, Swank licenses Normal Heart, so they should be able to help you with streaming rights. Last time I checked with Sony Picture Classics, they still were not offering educational streaming rights. I would recommend that students watch All about My Mother via amazon, or if they can't pay, you can have it on reserve in the library.

Hi all, First, thank you all for the feedback on the VHS > DVD topic this week. Very helpful, always, even the arguments. How about this one? I'm always curious regarding things like this - I have faculty (with online class) that want to 'stream' All About My Mother and Normal Heart. Normal Heart is HBO (and HBO GO). All About Mom is Sony Pictures Classics All About Mom they could rent from Amazon Video, that's only $3.99 Not sure of HBO GO. When you have faculty that want films not avail from streaming (esp in online setting), are they SOL? Or the faculty suggest to the students ways to watch on their own? Both of these titles 'should' be readily avail at video stores, libraries. Thanks for any advice, best, lorraine Ohio U
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.
