 Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr. "Do We Need Religion or Religious Institutions?" $10.00 Taped on September 6, 1980This show suffers from comparison with ["How Does One Find Faith?" #S432], but by any other standard it is a wonderful exploration of modern man and his discontents--starting with the fact that Muggeridge, although a leading Christian apologist, was unchurched. Muggeridge: "I've, believe it or not, longed to be a Catholic. . . . I've longed for it as though it were the most marvelous thing. . . .The truth is, I think, that I take a very pessimistic view of the Catholic Church, despite the very brilliant pope you've now got. It seems to me that it's dropping to pieces, and of course it had a severe blow after the Vatican Council. Therefore, I would be joining something of which I was enormously critical, and this isn't really an honorable thing to do." Buckley: "That's never bothered you before." Muggeridge: "I've never contemplated anything so serious as joining a church. I mean, even if you were to turn to mundane things--joining a club--if you were to join it quite confident that you were going to challenge all its rules and have rows with all its members, it would be rather a foolish step to take." Buckley: "Well, I'm, to put it lightly, stupefied that you would make a decision whether or not to extend your loyalty to an institution based on the behavior of some of its communicants. I can't imagine any time in history when anybody would have become a Catholic if he had been so easily put off." (Muggeridge and his wife, Kitty, eventually submitted to Rome, in 1984.)This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

Copyright and Cultural Institutions: Guidelines for Digitization for U.S. Libraries, Archives, and Museums $39.95 Just picked up my copy and I'm impressed by how Hirtle, Hudson, & Kenyon are able to pack such dense subject matter into a (so-far) pretty easy read. This book provides great guidance for a challenging issue related to beginning digitization projects. I recommend it for anyone who is new to developing digital collections as it offers helpful tables, case studies, and figures that will prove useful to making decisions about what content to digitize and much more. |
