Dear Colleagues,
We had our first instructor request to purchase a film in Blu-ray. Our campus has a number of classrooms, auditorium and circulating carts equipped with players, but it isn't wide spread. Our library has no player and student laptops (required) don't come with the player, either. I am questioning beginning to purchase films in 2 formats especially with streaming video on the horizon. This instructor is also working on a list of purchases to be made to fill in gaps in our film collection and mentioned that he would like those on Blu-ray as well. Of course, as budgets are tight purchasing both formats doesn't seem practical.
My question: how are you handling Blu-ray and DVD formats if this has been an issue emerging at your library?
I'll summarize to the group is there is interest.
Many thanks in advance,
Amy
