Please ask Haverford to change their policy on overdue fines. The difference between colleges is quite confusing (and potentially harmful).

I just finished watching the film (that BMC has) called Vampiros en la Habana. I was delighted to learn that there's a sequel to this great movie...but less happy to learn that BMC does not have Mas Vampiros en la Habana. Could we get it, please?

I was wondering if the Trico could acquire well-known, controversial films like "Salo: 120 Days of Sodomy," "Fun," "Caligula," and so on. Basically, any movie that could make it onto a list of "The 20 most shocking movies ever made." This is good for academic work that exploresthe representation of shocking material in film.

Hi, Teresa: Thanks for your suggestion. One reason we haven't purchased MAS VAMPIROS EN LA HABANA yet is that it hasn't been released with English subtitles. If this isn't a problem for you, let me know at library@brynmawr.edu, and we'll order a copy!

Dear Jenny,
Our fine policies and Haverford's are the same, with only very few exceptions. If you have a specific question about a fine or feel you were incorrectly charged, please feel free to contact me and I'll try my best to help.

Dear DJ,
Thanks for your suggestions. "Salo" and "Fun" are currently out of print, but we can purchase a copy of "Caligula." I'll let you know when it arrives.
We've been purchasing more exploitation films recently, and the tri-co libraries already own a number of videos that are considered "shocking" for one reason or another. See the interesting list of films at FilmSite:
http://www.filmsite.org/controversialfilms.html
We own quite a few of these! I'll take another look at the list and see if there's anything else that would be useful.

I would love it if the Tri-co would purchase the Japanese film "Train Man" (Densha Otoko). Thanks!

Thanks, Jillian! We will order "Train Man" and let you know when it arrives!

For Quita's Corner, some books written by J.G. Ballard like Running Wild or Super-Cannes would be an interesting add

Thanks, Teresa! We'll be ordering those soon.
