I'm guessing that many marketers / distributors create their own lists
based on listserv postings or by searching media library websites. I
don't mind hearing about new materials via email, however I will say
that receiving multiple (and for some films, I mean upwards of a dozen)
emails about a given title gets a bit tiresome. *Especially* when we
already have that particular title in our collection. (Although it's
certainly better to have an inundation of emails than paper postcards /
fliers!)
Best,

I get tons of emails telling me about newly released documentaries. I am
clearly on some sort of list that marketers use, probably of video/media
librarians. Can anyone confirm the existence of such a list and does anyone
know who it is that collects this info or any way to be removed?
Thanks!!

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.
