Re: [Videolib] Favorite Vendors for Widely-Available DVDs?
MUSIC HUNTER provides libraries with superior personal service. All orders are processed by a very knowledgeable and highly experienced staff. Our prices are lower than any other trade vendor. Many glowing references available. Here is one: Amherst College library TEL. # 413-542-2850 Susan Sheridan-Acquisitions smsheri...@amherst.edu mailto:smsheri...@amherst.edu I have been working as an acquisitions librarian technical services manager for over thirty years. Let me pay Music Hunter the highest compliment any vendor can get from Amherst College: working with Music Hunter is like having an additional staff member working in our department – responsive, thorough, pays attention to detail, corresponds promptly to emails, consults over dubious citations, always puts the customer first, even if a mistake is the Library’s fault. Please share this comment with your staff and I am willing to be a reference for any potential new customers. Susan Your search for sound video ends here!

A question for my fellow media librarians -- what are some of your favorite vendors (i.e. accurate catalog and quick turnaround) for the feature films and widely-available docs that you buy for your collections? Our Acquisitions folks don't like to order frequently via Amazon (extra paperwork) and our longtime go-to vendor for these kinds of films has fallen off in quality over the past year -- seems to be losing orders, taking a long time to fill them, doesn't seem to have items they advertise on hand, etc. The third-party company they sometimes uses charges a huge premium and takes eons to fulfill most titles. I know there are more than just these three options and have some ideas, but I'd love to hear what other options folks are using that they're very happy with.

It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
