Just another useless catalogue distributor in my humble opinion, doing zero outreach and then with the gall to actually charge a percentage. After selling hundreds of copies of my film "Judy Chicago & the California Girls" to institutions in the US and abroad, with many copies to Australia and NZ (their territory), I unfortunately got tangled up with them for a few years and could experience, firsthand, their complete ineffectiveness. (I know I advocate DIY, but I thought--what the hell, if they could bring in non-US sales I wouldn't otherwise be getting). While I was with them, though, I sold many more to Australia and NZ than they ever did (still am), and then would receive their mournful little notes each year about how I'd sold nothing through them, both DVD and digital. Yeck! Too depressing. I got out of there fast. Check for yourself their massive lack of success by going on Worldcat.org, the database of all library holdings on earth, and looking them up under DVD. All their films will come up with their enticing 1 and 2 sales.

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.
