Gary Handman (UCB) and Chris Lewis (AU) shared lists of titles which they found to be out of print ... a few years ago. I will try to find in the archives later today and post ... off to a meeting.
Caveat: some may have come back into distribution during the last few years.

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.
