Home Media Magazine publishes top 20 rentals and top 20 sellers on a weekly basis. They may be able to supply you a cumulative number. They are pretty helpful. Billy Gil is the web editor. Perhaps he could help or recommend someone else. His email is [email protected].

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.
