No "for promotional use only" means it was a screener send for review and is lot a "real" copy that can be used in a collection. I am not sure what you mean by "promotional length". Screeners sent for review/ promotion are almost always full length.

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.
