Hi Rue, We don't officially teach Genocide Studies, but between a class on Survivors and programming by the Peace Institute, I feel like I have a de facto curriculum. If it was purchased with library money, it lives in the Library. If it's in the Library, it's in the catalog and WorldCat. All videos not on reserve are in open stacks and circulate for one week. No, we do not have separate subject libraries in other campus locations.
I don't know what films are owned by departments/offices since those materials are purchased with departmental and/or personal funds and are therefore not cataloged anywhere.

I am beginning an assessment of our Library's media collection dealing with genocide (in very broad terms). I feel we have a relatively strong collection both in content and accessibility, and this area is an ongoing collection development focal point for me. As a very preliminary starting point, I would greatly appreciate hearing from other academic libraries regarding the following: * Does your institution have an identified program in Genocide Studies and/or a Genocide Studies Center? * If so, does the Library purchase media materials in support of Genocide Studies, and are these materials a part of the Library's general media collection? (as opposed to a closed, departmental, or special collection) * Are these materials cataloged and available in your OPAC? Do they circulate? * How is your institution's library system arranged? The USF Tampa Campus has a centralized library as opposed to official Departmental, School, College or Graduate/Undergraduate individual libraries across the campus. Ultimately my assessment will include comparative reports using tools such as WorldCat Collection Analysis as appropriate. And I will be also be looking at the identification of vendors handling this type of content. I'm aware of many, but it's a 'big world' out there. Any and all information is greatly appreciated. Thank you! Rue Rue McKenzie Coordinator of Media Collections Academic Resources University of South Florida, Tampa Library 813-974-6342 [cid:image001.jpg@01CB712A.E1B85430]

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.
