Officially no, but they didn't reject our membership when they saw our billing address either. We borrow DVDs for very limited usage - emergency backup and/or temporary reserves while purchasing/locating the title. I think if we were foolish enough to share the password and allow an instructor to stream a film from the classroom, we'd get negative attention very quickly.

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.
