Hi Rhonda, I select them for purchase as well. Some students like them to supplement their courses, or to refresh (e.g. someone who jhas been out in the work place for several years doing an MSc in civil engineering who needs to refresh on fluid dynamics).
Others I select for general education for students interest. For example, we have no African Studies courses at HKUST, so the 18 hour "African Experience" course is useful for any students who want to learn more about the history and cultures of Africa. - Victoria Caplan HKUST Libarry Hong Kong University of Science and Technology > Rhonda, > I had to purchase many of them for a faculty member who insisted they were > the most amazing things ever.

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.
