A music faculty member wants recent dvds on the various eras of classical music: Middle Ages & Renaissance Baroque Classical Romantic 20th Century He would like something visually stimulating and attention-grabbing. We have in our collection: Art and Music as Reflections of Time (VHS) 1986, originally 1974, which has parts on all of the eras Teaching Company's Music Appreciation series of lectures (VHS) 1993 Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts (DVD) Various VHS and DVD productions on individual composers What the faculty member would like are interesting, dynamic presentations on all of the eras. On OCLC, I found a Films for Humanities series, The CLEARVUE/eav Art & Music Series - 8 parts for $799.60. It is not available on Films on Demand, which we purchase yearly. Even though the description calls the series visually dynamic, all I saw in some of the various part previews was a talking head. I have checked a number of our regular vendors, and have found nothing that fits the bill. Do any of you wise librarians have any suggestions??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

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.
