Study guides or support/teacher notes for purchased DVDs

Did you know that some video companies no longer include the support/teacher notes with the DVD you have just purchased?

After purchasing the DVD you can go to that company's website and download/print the notes. Some of the companies involved include ........

VEA (Video Education Australasia) - you need to become a member, which is free, you can then download the teacher notes. You are able to save the teacher notes on your computer/library network, and there isn't a time limit on keeping the saved notes. NOTE: VEA always keep the teacher notes on their website.

Marcom Projects - currently you can login as a guest and download the study guide. You are able to save the study guides on your computer, and there isn't a time limit on keeping the saved guides.

Vocam - they will send you an email with the link to collect the support notes/Powerpoint within 10 days. You can save the support notes/Powerpoint to an internal Library network (but not an Intranet) and print them (no multiple copies please) ..... the test parts are the only parts that can be printed multiple times.

Classroom Video - you need to become a member which is free, and you can then download the teacher notes. At the present time they can not say if you can save the PDF to a library network, but you can print off a master copy and photocopy as you need them.

Remember to add tag 500 to the BIB record stating that the notes are available from the company's website, see the LRSN Cataloguing Procedures (found at the LRSN home page) for full details.
