Ben I salute you for getting such a long piece into Library Journal, where it can reach a broad audience. Media is far too often ignored in the library field.
I hope the article engenders much interest and discussion! Thanx. -deg -----Original Message----- As the author of that piece I wanted to thank you for agreeing with most of the article (we have that in common), and for also addressing educational aspects as part of the WHOLE media discussion - 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.
