Re: Movie Licenses

[Carol Simpson <csimpson@LIS.ADMIN.UNT.EDU>]

Check out my PPR web page at
http://courses.unt.edu/csimpson/cright/ppr.htm. I list as many
vendors as I have found (I'm still collecting!) who offer public
performance rights with videos sold to schools and libraries. All these
films may be used in those odd moments when you need PPRs.

It would be nice to find a vendor that lists right up front
what rights are included with purchase and to, perhaps, offer
choices. When I purchase for classroom, instructional purposes,
I'm not always going to want to pay extra for PPR. It's
an unncessary added expense. We could use a few items for
sharing during evening parent workshops to occupy small visitors
in the child care center ... Otherwise, we show only one
movie a year as a public performance. And we still rent
a big screen 16mm for that. It provides a much bigger "wow"
for the kids :D
