I need some help. In my current position I have little video
responsibilities--unless it comes to problem solving.
I am looking for medical documentary films--films that would be of interest to
medical professionals that are about medicine or scientific topics.
For example=Supersize Me or King Corn would be a more popular examples,
Unnatural Causes a more academic one.
So--is there any place you would recommend searching and/or search strategies?
We are pretty much open to any suggestions at this point.
I have played around with Worldcat, and of course Netflix, but I think my
problem is that it is sort of hard to quantify what makes a documentary
interesting to this audience.....
Thanks in advance for help!

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.
