Thanks Marsha, Dennis, and Danielle--
It sounds like UPC code information is more useful than I thought.
Best,
Randy

We LOVE the UPC codes it makes receiving material a snap! Midwest, where we
purchase a major portion of our media included the UPC in the brief mark record
that they supply for us free. Nice service and really speeds up the processing
of material.

Hello Wise People,
A subscriber emailed me today to ask if Video Librarian could start
including UPC codes in the header information of reviews. It's been over 20
years since I was working in the library, so I might be a little out of
touch on ye olde day-to-day. Two decades ago, ISBN was king (and we still
include those) and no one gave a rat's patootie about UPC codes. Has there
been a tectonic plate shift that I missed? In short, are UPC codes now
important bits of information?
Best,
Randy

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.
