Gary's comments about study guides made me wonder how other libraries are dealing with the fact that so many are online only now. . . I wonder if any libraries put a link in the catalog to the guide's web site?

If not a link, at least a note with the URL in it.

Does anyone print them out and put them on the shelves with the videos?
Nope. Our stats indicate (no in-depth study here, mind) that neither students NOR faculty care much for guides. If they want 'em, they'll use the link or URL.

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.
