Yep, video often means VHS tape. From a sales point of view I use have to use "motion media with sound." I find much confusion among K-12 librarians. VHS, DVD, digital file, streaming . . . it's all "motion media with sound."

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.
