Deg, We've utilized Choice for over 30 years, and it's a fantastic tool for faculty selection of relevant print books/ebooks. It does include reviews of web resources, as well. However, Choice does not get into film *at all,* other than monographic print resources for film studies. My understanding of RCL is that it's sort of an extension of Choice in the sense that it also focuses on vital core print & electronic items for undergraduate collections but does not include films.

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.
