Friends,
Here's another message from a vendor who refuses to sell a home
version dvd through Amazon's Marketplace. I responded that I'm
permitted to buy the dvd for my institution through the federal
copyright exemption but they're still arguing with me. I also
suggested that they join the video librarian listserv :-)
Take care, Patti

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.
