LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Helen, our district selection policy does not allow us to include R-rated
videos and I have (sometimes, vary regretfully) returned videos that are
R-rated and not indicated such in reviews. I think since they are almost
always shown to a large audience we would be remiss not to respect that
policy. Compared with books that are generally read by one person at a
time, the same kind of material in videos creates a different level of
acceptability for teachers to show all. I'd like to hear your responses
from others.
