It depends on what we mean by "maintain." In its simplest form there could be a webpage with columns for title, laserdisc, VHS, and DVD, and then someone (me?) to update it. Then I would just depend on people to let me know what needs updating. Or there could be a Wiki that anyone could update. I'm sure there are other, better (more 21st century) tools that we could use. I'm happy to help.
Ideas anyone?

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.
