Falstaff's death scene, for which the speeches were lifted bodily from Henry IV, Part 2, is boldly invented. The shrunken, heartbroken old companion of Henry's escapades (George Robey, famed British low comedian) hears again, obsessively, the terrible speech ("A man ...so old and so profane....") in which the King casts him off. In this new context, for the first time perhaps, the piercing line, "The king has kill'd his heart," is given its full power. In the transition scene which takes the audience from Falstaff's death to the invasion of France, the Chorus makes a final appearance alone against the night sky, then recedes and fades as the movie takes over from him.
(James Agee’s 1946 review)

Library trends changing ASP publishing
Some libraries do continue to purchase whole collections • Makes sense when a collection supports a
program• We continue to publish discipline-specific
collections (but now they are multi-format)
But other libraries want to select relevant films• New models for acquiring video• EBA (evidence-based acquisitions)• PDA (patron-driven acquisitions)• Acquisitions really means “acquisitions”• Single titles• Topical bundles
PDA (patron-driven acquisitions)• Patrons have unlimited access to >20,000 films.• Patrons determine what you buy (trigger after set # of
user views).• Library sets the spending cap.• Option for perpetual rights or annual subscription,
library’s choice.• Sign up now for pilot beginning January 2015.
New acquisition models:EBA and PDA
EBA (evidence-based acquisitions)• Patrons have unlimited access to >41,000 films.• Patrons influence what you buy, but library decides what
to buy.• No automatic purchase trigger.• Library decides spending budget.• Library owns perpetual rights.• Dozens of libraries globally now completing 2014 pilot
year.
New acquisition model: Small, affordable topical bundles
The John Cleese Management Bundle
• Asian Theater Video Bundle • Primary Education Video
Bundle• Social Work Video Bundle • others
What’s newest—Syllabus Project:• “Call for syllabi” over the past 6 months and
continuing.• We create custom clips and playlists matched to
your syllabus—essentially, custom course packs for your programs.
• See what’s common among customers who participate (e.g., “Introduction to Art History”), serve many institutions.
What’s next on the horizon—Open Access
What’s next after that—we’re watching and listening to you!
