No big surprise re: Videos for College Libraries. One of my favorite phrases as of late: Video is the Redhaired Stepchild in the academy.
I vaguely recall that the old Bowker guide to rental videos (Wish I still had a copy) tagged audience level. Perhaps the question of "Whose core list" could be addressed with an audience tag: G - General E - Elementary H - High School C - College and University I'm happy to put forward a handful of additional titles to get the ball rolling. -deg Gary Wrote > > I think an update would be groovy...on the other hand, putting this list > together initially turned out to be nearly impossible...for one thing, the > issue of "whose core list?" keeps popping up: public libraries, school > libraries, higher ed...the list would be totally unmanageable if it tried > to cover all bases.

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.
