X-Ray vision - to see exactly where in a book the answer is - and to find the book when it's missing on the shelf. I know - more a book thing. Super hearing - to understand people when they don't speak clearly, Mind reading - so we can determine exactly what the patron is asking for. Total recall - cast, crew, plot, characters of any movie, documentary, film clip, short, etc. - IMDB on the brain! Super powers of persuasion - to convince people what the legal issues are about copyright, public performance, TEACH Act, etc., so they will completely understand and never bother you about it again! I'm sure others thought of better things! Becky Tatar Periodicals/Audiovisuals Aurora Public Library 1 E.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. 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.
