Hey Laura, Unofficially no. But situations have cropped up where we purchased a Home Use copy and then a screening was arranged so we split the cost of a PPR copy. We don't have a budget to support screening rentals and I don't support that idea - not from an acquisitions budget anyway.
Is it just me or are campus screenings starting to become quaint reminders of times gone by? They still occur regularly here at AU yet I don't think anyone attends them. Does anyone have success stories to the contrary? I'd like to get marketing tips.

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.
