We did this routinely for a satellite program, but limited the faculty to shorter period of time, not the entire semester. We suggested time for shipping, classroom showing and week or 10 days for reserves. We calculated shipping time on both ends of the booking. These were educational documentaries, some of which were relatively popular. We did have to acquire duplicates of a few titles to support programs on multiple campuses, but tried to get the faculty (within the same school) to coordinate use where possible.

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.
