I kind of figured it came from you Elena. Jean I would suggest you get Mr. Willis contact info from Elena and ask him if there is any chance VHS or DVD copy. At least you will be going right to the source and I think this also confirms that the Worldcat listing that NYPL has a VHS copy was incorrect.

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.
