Hey Rachel, Congratulations! If the content you are dealing with at IMF is digital video, do consider adding it to the digital video guide I posted on ALA Connect: http://connect.ala.org/node/183711. I know that video pertaining to the global role of the IMF and World Bank on developing nations is integrated into at least one of our courses (not necessarily favorably, to be frank), but at least the instructor I knew was very careful to try to find content that provided a balanced perspective for discussion. This content could supplement titles such as Life and Debt, amongst others, perhaps.
