It's available on Google videos in two parts. Part 1 offers an overview of basic issues about starting and running a library, including policy statements, organization, budget, staffing, collection development, and preparing for automation. It's available at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1583011621296220618&hl=en Part 2 focuses on preparing for library automation.
