This is really a search engine optimization question. I'm sure the producers would like their titles to show up as well. My first thought was to have the National Media Market maintain a database of its Exhibiting Partner's titles but upon further reflection the list would be so incomplete (little foreign, feature film, etc.) it would not be very effective. Plus you would have trouble getting the EPs to participate as we are overloaded with NMM work as it is.

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.
