[LM_NET] TAR: Closed captioned DVDs

[Allyson Cogan <libraryteach@COMCAST.NET>]

Hi,

I am in a new library in a new school district this year.  We have a  second
student who has unilateral hearing loss (she is deaf in one ear and has very
little hearing in the other).  We need to locate three closed captioned DVDs
that are used as part of the Focus On Smithsonian Science kits for first
grade science.  We have VHS tapes of all the videos for the science kits
grades K through 5, however, the VHS tapes are not closed captioned.  The
first grade teacher contacted the company that produced videos to see if
closed captioning is available for this series.  The company told the
teacher that the series is now produced in DVD with closed captioning.  If
we want the closed captioning we need to purchase the newer DVDs.  The
district is not willing to purchase DVDs when we already own the VHS tapes.
I know that many materials are available for interlibrary loan.  Does anyone
on the list know if this might be possible?  The first DVD we need is Soil
for the FOSS grade 2 science kit.  The DVD would be shown in the classroom
and then returned.

Any suggestion or help is appreciated.
