Actually I'm referring to videos that are already reserved or
restricted to in-house use. We have cases where three professors
teaching the same course, without notifying us, have told their
students to watch a given title in a given week. Typically the
students start streaming in the day before class and there are
frequent turn-aways. So some type of simpler hold system would be
nice.

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.
