I am the primary media selector for the Library, but all the selectors are free to select and purchase media off their subject funds. Currently, the media budget is apportioned out of the Undergraduate Library's budget -- the media collection is housed in the Undergrad, but serves the entire campus.

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.
