I'd be willing to bet a buck that one of the major suppliers like Farhad mentioned has an educational initiative by the 2014 NMM. Obviously it would not have every program ever produced but there would be a critical mass of worthy content. Any takers please reply off line.

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.
