At San Francisco State we have paid over $500 for, among others:

The Abilene Paradox
Fish
Talking 9 to 5
Communication: The Nonverbal Agenda
Groupthink
A Tale of "O"
Transformation: Managing Corporate Change
Arbitration: The Seven Tests for Just Cause
The Hackerstar Negotiation
Leader Shift  (Joel Barker video)
Twelve Angry Men: Teams That Don't Quit

We have also paid over $500 for some cd-roms and video series, but  
most single-title big ticket items are business oriented.

Budgets these days are much tighter; I agree that a $500 DVD would be  
a very tough sell.

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.
