Subject: [ACQNET-L] Motion picture purchase recommendations

 

Hi,

 

For a couple of reasons we are looking at another venue for the purchase
of movies on DVD.  I am talking about both current releases and older
Hollywood productions.  Who are people using?  Does anyone have any
recommendations they would share?

 

Anyone offering streaming of this sort of thing on their campus?

 

Thanks.

 

Michael
