I don't think the cost of discs themselves has increased, in fact they have largely decreased BUT the available material has jumped by leaps and bounds. I think the argument would be how much more there is out there that you need for the collection.

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.
