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.
