Hi - For academic libraries....what are you doing with your audiocassette collections? We no longer have players in our media area and obviously the format is obsolete...while I'm actively replacing VHS with DVD - I am not sure I want to go this route with audio.... We have mostly classical music and spoken word.
Any ideas? Rhonda Rhonda Rosen| Head, Media & Access Services William H.

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.
