http://www.bowker.com/syndetics/classic/faqs.html#2Q: How does Syndetics Classic handle video and music content?A: Syndetics now has cover images, summaries and track listings (for CDs only) for almost one million video and music titles. Since there is no standard identifier for DVD, VHS and CD’s like there is for books, Syndetics collects the data that is available from our content partners including UPC, OCLC number, and when available, ISBN. If you have any of these identifiers in your MARC records, you will link to Syndetics content. Lauren -- Lauren Corbett Director of Resource Services, Z.

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.
