We have several faculty who are fond of the nine-VHS history series produced by Mastervision. It is not available on DVD at this point. The producer did say he would make a set for us for about $1000 but it would not be anything fancy. I am envisioning a very expensive DVD-R with no cases. I gathered they would consider doing a real DVD version if there was enough interest. Is anyone else an owner of this series and is there any pressure from your faculty to get the new format?

Perhaps we can move the faculty to look at something else! J Christine Crowley Dean of Learning Resources Northwest Vista College 3535 N.

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.
