Hi Lorraine and List, We put the DVD (or VHS) on reserve. We also look for online pay per view sources. We let them know when it is not available on pay per view (that we can find, anyway, with a reasonable search).
Just updated pay per view sites on my libguide. Fan TV is beating out canistream.it for title accessibility. http://classguides.lib.uconn.edu/content.php?pid=52331&sid=428612 Feedback on new pay per view sites is appreciated.

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.
