I hope you get the subscription problem resolved quickly. Did someone not see the value of $99 to help decide which $300 DVDs are right for your collection?
EMRO http://emro.lib.buffalo.edu/emro/, plus Library Journal and Booklist. Since feature films are so inexpensive, Rotten Tomatoes or IMdb are good enough. I use Video Librarian and Entertainment Weekly for discovery, but I generally don’t worry too much about reviews for them. (Can it possibly be used in a class? Would college students enjoy watching it on a Saturday night? One or the other is likely a Yes.) (I hope you can attend the National Media Market in October since it’s in Baltimore.)

I LOVE Video Librarian, but our subscription was cut (long story) and I'm not comfortable just relying on Rotten Tomatoes for sourcing acquisitions to our film collection. Does anyone have good open-source sourcing tools they use for collection development? Until I get my subscription re-installed, I need some help!

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.
