Hi, all, Not video, but sound recordings. We are reviewing our standing orders with Midwest for sound recordings. Right now, we have their Hit Makers, and Chart Toppers, along with top 75 Latin Charts, and top 25 Country Charts. The main Chart Toppers covers anything that makes the Billboard 200. There are questions from some of our staff that the Chart Toppers is not cost efficient, since the sales for many of the titles aren't very high. There is also a concern that staff haven't heard of many of the music groups (who has?), and that many of the groups are regionally popular, but not known nationally. Does anyone else use these services? What do you like about them? What don't you like? Have you stopped using them, and why? Thanks in advance.

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.
