Hi Ursula, I am sorry to hear this. I was hoping that it would grow to be open to the world as a great source to discover great films. Perhaps in retrospect the NMM attendees didn't really need it since they have access at the Market. The rest of us sure could have used it. Great project none the less.

The Portal was established with the objective to consolidate NMM exhibitors' content into a single online catalog and provide preview clips searchable by subject, grade level, and distributing company, and to expand the ability of NMM attendees to evaluate content for their collections. This additional service was a large investment and commitment by the NMM and participating distributors, but the low usage of the Portal did not justify continuing with this project. Although we are disappointed, it was a worthwhile project and we thank everyone involved for their time and efforts.

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.
