Compiling a core collection
by Shel Plews 18 May '21

18 May '21

Hello Deb, A co-worker passed your request for tips along to me, since I do the DVD buying for our library. One of the things I have done is to check Academy Award winning films over the years and try to get all of those who won Best Picture. In more recent years I try to buy all of the nominees in every category as well. Some of the internet sites offering free reviews may also have lists of recommended genres, depending on the needs and wants of your community. After some years of checking circulation and paying attention to patron requests I have developed a sense of what will circulate in our community. The sites I use the most are Rottentomatoes, Common Sense Media and IMDb (Internet Movie Database). I hope this is helpful and please feel free to contact me. Thank-you, Shel <http://loutitlibrary.org/> Shel Plews Library Assistant I / Cataloging she/her (what’s this? <https://www.mypronouns.org/>) 616.850.6926 | loutitlibrary.org 407 Columbus Ave. Grand Haven, MI 49417 Expanding Horizons.
