the ones i'm looking for are from the 60s and 70s and are almost certainly waaaaay out of circulation

LL, do you have the names of particular filmstrips in mind? If so, there might be some libraries somewhere in the state that has them still, which you could find out via worldcat? If they would ILL them, I don't know.

there are library of congress listings but that's all i can findi don't know how to librarian
should i just post this on the librarian thread?
― passion it person (La Lechera), Monday, 10 December 2012 20:41 (eleven years ago) link
this is what AJ was talking about: http://www.worldcat.org/ you just put in the name of the movie and it tells you what are the libraries closest to you that have it in their catalogs. however, i don't know if it includes filmstrips. i tried "secret life of 118 green street" as a test and it showed libraries that carry it on vhs.
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 10 December 2012 20:50 (eleven years ago) link
yeah that one is a little easier to find -- it's on youtube toothe black widow one is particularly good and i found it on archive.org
if you feel like watching it http://archive.org/details/0769_Black_Widow_Spider_Her_Life_Cycle_and_Her_Enemies_18_04_42_00
― passion it person (La Lechera), Monday, 10 December 2012 20:51 (eleven years ago) link
Yes, sorry. It does include filmstrips, such as this: http://www.worldcat.org/title/life-cycle-of-the-monarch/oclc/18785367&referer
As you can see with that one, there's only one library in IL that has it, and it's far away. But you very well might be able to ILL it through CPL.

ah! ok. thanks. that's good info. love the name of that library!
― passion it person (La Lechera), Monday, 10 December 2012 20:53 (eleven years ago) link
does that mean that there are only two copies in circulation in the entire country?!
It means that there are only two copies catalogued in the entire country, though with something like that, there very well could be a lot of uncatalogued copies...And I will say that audio-visual material is sometimes hard to get via ILL. Like, some libraries are reluctant to lend it out. Or it just could be in a non-circulating archive...

Sorry, I feel like my reference skillz have severely atrophied in the year since I became director.

thanks dudesi did also post this to librarian thread in case someone out there in the world wanted another annoying patron

Not sure if you're looking for filmstrips AND/OR 16 mm films - but Amazon sells a box set of the old ones - http://www.amazon.com/Educational-Archives-School-Locker-DVD/dp/B000654ZFA/ref=pd_cp_mov_3
There's probably a way to rent it from somewhere too ...
I kinda wished I had organized some sort of Chilxors 'library people' 'meet and greet' this week, 'cause my kid sis is in town and she does some cool special collections work at Oregon St. U. She probably would like to commiserate on the state of digital preservation from school to school (or libraries in general).
― BlackIronPrison, Monday, 10 December 2012 21:04 (eleven years ago) link
the ones i want haven't been collected yet as far as i can tell -- they're time lapse nature cinematographyi wish someone else had bothered to collect them for me!
― passion it person (La Lechera), Monday, 10 December 2012 21:07 (eleven years ago) link
Maybe you should find collect and release them! or at least put them on youtube.
― doctor, doctor, give me the news (askance johnson), Monday, 10 December 2012 21:08 (eleven years ago) link
i gotta find them first! one step at a time.

I use Connexion, which is related to WorldCat but I'm not sure how, other than that OCLC is the organization behind both databases. (All I know is that a couple of years ago we were instructed to use Connexion instead.)

I thought Connexion was only for catalogers? At least the only time I've ever used it was in my cataloging class.
― doctor, doctor, give me the news (askance johnson), Monday, 10 December 2012 21:44 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I think Connexion relies on the WorldCat database but includes additional cataloging information. I'm guessing that it's preferred here because the primary reason we use OCLC is to verify bibliographic information.

We got two fedex packages from w@rr3n j3ff$' chruch today, including a 300 page hardcover book that consists of revelations from jesus to mr. j3ff$. WTF.

I just found a revelation in which jesus says, through w@rr3n j3ff$, that the president of the united states should stop persecuting w@rr3n j3ff$.

As do I. LL and I are fans. Well, not "fans," but fascinated by him, at least.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 16:06 (eleven years ago) link
insomuch as i am frequently fascinated by things that are totally repulsive

― carl agatha, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 16:20 (eleven years ago) link
That's what drives like 75% of my casual interests. "How repulsive! I will now spend the next six months of my life learning all about it!"
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 16:21 (eleven years ago) link
Okay, there's actually quite a few messages to the potus. And the first couple of hundred pages are warnings to various countries about how they are sinful etc and how they must repent or jesus aka son @hm@n will smite them etc. Some of these sins are vague, but a lot of them are abortion, homosexuality, etc.
He accuses the people of Denmark of partaking of the "sins of Sodom, and of immorality and sorcery".
He also states that the "immoral practice of men and women bathing together" must cease in japan.
And yet some of his proclamations are pretty cool, like he orders Turkey to stop persecuting the Kurds.
also, I must note that the book is actually 900 pages, not 300 as I erroneously stated yesterday.
― doctor, doctor, give me the news (askance johnson), Tuesday, 11 December 2012 16:40 (eleven years ago) link
Oh god, he also says the Spain should send messengers to the us and that it should "cause thy influence to be felt on behalf of my servant w@rr3n j3ff$."
― doctor, doctor, give me the news (askance johnson), Tuesday, 11 December 2012 16:42 (eleven years ago) link
...Spain?
I like the shout out to Japan, where everybody apparently takes baths together all the time?
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 16:49 (eleven years ago) link
In other words, book delivers.
HEY so our own n/a posted an excellent best of 2012 playlist on the Spotify and it's awesome (except for one song I don't like, but still that's a very high success rate) so I am hoping that jaymc and LL and whomever else has also compiled such lists and will post them here. hint hint
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 16:51 (eleven years ago) link
He sure has a lot of worldly opinions.
Lots of stuff I liked this year isn't on spotify, but I have a little list of albums.
― passion it person (La Lechera), Tuesday, 11 December 2012 16:58 (eleven years ago) link
ha what was the song you didn't like?
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 11 December 2012 17:07 (eleven years ago) link
i'm wondering whether it's a misogynist rap song or just a dumb punk song
LOL no I really like all the misogynist rap. I LOVE that Schoolboy Q song. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was trying to describe it but then it came on - Kush Ain't Loud. Really repetitive vocals sometimes give me the jim jams and this is a prime example. I just really, really want him to stop saying "kush ain't loud." STOP. STOP SAYING IT.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 17:13 (eleven years ago) link
oh yeah that is footwork music from chicago. i love glitchy repetitive vocals and i like how that song gets more souled out later on.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 11 December 2012 17:18 (eleven years ago) link
I like repetitive vocals too -- it's words as sounds rather than words as meaning. I like that.
― passion it person (La Lechera), Tuesday, 11 December 2012 17:21 (eleven years ago) link
are you waiting for the streetcarare you waiting for the streetcarare you waiting for the streetcar
I don't always hate repetitive vocals, and I don't even think I can quantify what it is about this song that gets to me, but it's the same kind of irritation I get when somebody keeps tapping on the desk over and over and over or repetitively clears his throat.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 17:23 (eleven years ago) link
