AT NYU, we have a default replacement cost of $250.00 for our video collection. I arrange to have a report generated just before the video goes to billed-as-lost (10 days from due date) where I will adjust the replacement price upwards or down, depending upon actual replacement cost. If the patron declares the video as lost, the default remains at $250.00. (We need this amount to cover our truly expensive, and for private individuals, otherwise unobtainable, video titles. It seems to get most of those back.)

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.
