Kim I never heard of Fox in Flight. What would they have that Criterion Pictures USA which handle Fox would not. Do they license for colleges?
Obviously you can't list everyone thought there a lot of places with significant collections mostly of indie & foreign titles ( Zeitgeist, IFC, Milestone, Music Box. Cohen Media etc) the one I would add is Sony Classics since they do their own while Swank handles standard Sony and that leads to lots of confusion. I know people on here have the contact but I can't find it. Great that you help out the students and professors with this.

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.
