Barbara I realize it is minority but I have run across more than a few major schools just ripping dvds and streaming them without even trying to license them so I do tend to think of bad scenarios.

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.
