Hi Rhonda Our budget is in the mid 80Ks...a lot of stuff coming in, so, unless a faculty person or grad instructor has specifically requested the title, we don't really push any information out. What I DO do (daily)is schmooze with almost each and every instructor that walks in the door to find out what they're teaching, what their research interests are, etc. The follow-up line is frequently: "Have I got a new title for you!!") Only very occasionally do I push an email out to a faculty person...if I did this every time we purchased something new, I'd be persona non grata very quickly)
I have a new acquisitions blog which NO ONE reads...

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.
