Thank you for all of your insight on to this series! I will definitely be scouring these titles to add to our collection. I had previously passed by a good number of these titles but I'll have to circle back and draw up a list for inclusion to our Library. Best regards.

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.
