I just got off the phone with Mr. Greave's widow, Louise. The 800 number is functional. There is a glitch with the online contact form, however, that she is aware of.
A direct number is: 212-265-6150 She is a little up there, so bear that in mind. However, Louise is eager to see her husband's legacy perpetuated in distribution, and is working to ensure that is 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.
