Viewer's Advisory

Our library circulation statistics show significant use of DVDs and our library website includes movie viewer's advisory in the form of annotated lists. I found something even more exciting on Bloglines. Some libraries offer Windows Media-formatted Previews. This is the feed URL for this Lee County Library System (Southwest Florida) website entry (graphics can only be seen on the feed): http://rss.librarywire.com/rss.php?feed=6481.CNL12.

No Reservations By Hicks, Scott

Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Kate, an emotionally fragile chef whose life is turned upside down when she becomes guardian of her niece. Used to absolute control -- both in her kitchen (which she rules with an iron hand) and at home -- Kate now faces chaos on all fronts, as both the child and her new sous chef work their way into her heart.

The Las Vegas-Clark County Library also provides movie previews (feed: http://rss.librarywire.com/rss.php?feed=5626,CNL12). Both libraries get previews from "Videodetective: the Movie Preview Search" http://www.videodetective.com/.

I shared this information with Aimee and she will investigate the feasibility of using this service for our library.
