Head of Reference Services is my direct supervisor. I also interact with the Collection Development Librarian, although I have the final and usually only say on all Media orders. No one else has much time to have an opinion. One of the Acquisitions paraprofessional full-time workers doesn't report to me, but does all my ordering. I also interact with cataloging quite a bit for faculty orders. It seems to work well.
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.
