Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2014 3:34 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] Looking for documentaries about food All: I'm trying to put together a comprehensive list of documentaries that are about food or food-related topics for a course. I will welcome any title suggestions from librarians or title lists from film vendors, on or off list. Thanks, Lisa M.

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.
