The Congress does not have to approve of the 1201 exemptions that will be announced by the Librarian of Congress. When, who knows? The Librarian is suppose to consult with NTIS of the Commerce Dept and the US Copyright Office when making his decision. -Carrie Russell, who after 10 years in Washington, DC still does not know what all of the acronyms mean

Any change would still require Congressional approval which seems unlikely to me. 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.
