Hi Gary, Thank you for all your help over the years (even if I've mostly gained information from you by lurking videolib for the most part!) You wisdom has been admired and appreciated by all of us and I wish you the best of luck in your new endeavor and your retirement!

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.
