Also with the film retailing for $400, I cannot think that too many
institutions would be too willing to want to lend out such an expensive
item on ILL. Items sent out on ILL do (occasionally) get lost in the mail,
or do not get returned by the patron doing the borrowing, or get
damaged somehow--something very much prone to aging VHS tapes.
And deciding just who or which library would be responsible
for making up the loss would be no small mess in itself.
Best,
Anthony Anderson

HI all,
I am looking for Shirley Clarke's "Cool World" for purchase.
I can get it here: http://shop.vendio.com/HARDTOFINDFILMS/
But not sure if it is legit (I feel certain it is not).
I see Zipporah has it on VHS for $400 (that's all) and it is not
available in DVD.
>From Worldcat most of the copies are from Zipporah, and one from
'Nostalgia Collector" which I don't think is in business anymore. If
I have to I will ILL this, because $400 for VHS seems high, but I
don't know the film that well and I could be mistaken.
Any light on this would be appreciated.
thanks

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.
