Hi All, A question for the group out of curiosity. For those of you who have or who routinely survey the users of your video collections, what kinds of questions do you pose? I'm thinking along the lines of:
* What would you like to see more of / what do you value about the collection * Would you like longer loan periods if it meant high use items could be less accessible * How do you find out about collection materials * Do you know about our streaming / browsing guide / on-site viewing room / etc. resources If there are other sorts of questions you've posed that have elicited interesting / useful responses, I'm all ears! Thanks in advance, -- Meghann Matwichuk, M.S. Associate Librarian Coordinator, Film & Video Collection Morris Library, University of Delaware 181 S.

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.
