The library should do something like a monthly movie screening. It would promote DVD rentals which, somehow, are still under the radar of a lot of people I come into contact with. And it’s just kind of a fun idea…
You are correct that the Temple University Libraries does have a great collection of DVDs, and that we should do more to promote them. We like the idea of some movie screenings at some regular frequency, possibly each month. Do know that we are unable to show entire films because that requires the payment of a public viewing license, and it can be rather expensive. But we might be able to show previews or clips from a variety of new films. We can certainly explore the possibility, and will consider it for the next academic year. Would you like popcorn with that?
BTW, we don’t do rentals. All of our videos may be freely borrowed by those with a currently valid Temple ID card.
