Sorry friends, I was working on AMIA matters the past few months which has such fun readings as the California non-profit laws and working to get LGBT films on the National Film Registry. And I'm now an expert on health care for the elderly in Bergen County. I haven't looked at any copyright articles or discussed them in the past few months. I agree that Carrie would be a far better source than I.

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.
