LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Several years ago, I pitched several 8MM film projectors which may be
what you are looking for. However, I would be reluctant to help him find
equipment on which to play ancient programs. The films are probably at
least 20 years old and outdated. I have had to constantly encourage my
teachers to use newer and updated materials. It seems as though they
find a favorite program and are hesitant to try something newer. It is
getting easier in the past couple of years, I have at least gotten many
of them away from filmstrips. Are we the only library in the world who
still have them in the collection?
