Costume on DVD
For those costume buffs out there who need to find examples of costume both period and fantasy, the LRC has made life a little easier. We have produced a guide to costume in our DVD film collection which you will find next to the film section in the rolling shelves. You can also do a subject search on the IPAC Film - costume to get a list of period films. We have listed films by the century they are set in, and for the 20th century we have broken it down further by decade. So if you are looking for medieval tunics, Regency gowns, Victorian crinolines, the flapper fashion of the roaring twenties or mini skirts of the swinging sixties they should now be easier to locate. Please feel free to suggest any films for the collection which you think are good examples of period or fantasy costume and we will do our best to obtain a copy.
Hurry! Fill in the LRC Student Survey & you could win a prize!
You have until 15th May to fill in the LRC Student Survey and you could win a £10 Book Token or £10 Printing Credits in our Prize Draw. It will just take a few minutes and you can even fill it in online at http://moodle.lipa.ac.uk/ Alternatively there are paper copies in the LRC.
We value your feedback - it enables us to improve our services and to provide the facilities you need.
