Hi All, We currently subscribe to Films on Demand from Films Media Group, and are considering a subscription to Alexander Street Press' VAST. Both resources contain films from some of the same producers/distributors; we're unable to run an overlap analysis of the products using SerialsSolutions' overlap analysis tool, and are wondering if there is much overlap in coverage between the two products. Have any libraries that subscribe to both done any kind of overlap analysis - or just anecdotally, have you noticed much duplication of films between the two resources?
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide. Best, Michelle Michelle Ehlert, MLIS Assistant Director of Technical Services Library and Information Services Metropolitan State University 645 East 7th Street St. Paul, MN 55106 michelle.ehl...@metrostate.edu<mailto:michelle.ehl...@metrostate.edu> 651.793.1623 651.793.1615 (fax)
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.
