Hi folks, We seemed to have branched from circulation to pricing... I'm throwing in a plug here encouraging folks to attend the National Media Market. The NMM really is a great way to get to talk about these issues with librarians and video vendors. It isn't the exhibit hall hell of ALA. You literally get to sit down and talk about your library's needs. Ask the vendors about discounts. Most can't sell you new releases for $30, but most have room to negotiate.

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.
