We recently integrated our Media Services and Collection with the Circulation Desk area. (Budget cuts, staff cuts, etc.). We have always had a separate drop box for the media, even before we moved, so most students are used to the drop box. Circulation is very good about emptying the drop box during the day (and through the night, as we are open until midnight). Saturday, Sunday, off days, etc. - we back date the material.

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.
