For my language lab, I use Small Library Organizer + a barcode scanner to manage our small media collection, and it works OK.
The actual media library for the College is stuck right now with a DOS-based database system dating back to around 1991 for checkout. It does not allow much searching or cataloguing. They recently purchased ReaderWare to create a searchable database, but did not realize that it would not integrate with or replace the checkout database. What would be a good Windows program for them to use? Is Small Library likely to be the best option? Judy Shoaf 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.
