As some of you know, I was recently complaining and whining about how our catalog department seems to find media cataloging particularly troublesome, and thus, we have a big back-up of materials. Also, I complained that they didn't want to catalog our FMG Films on Demand items, because it was too much trouble. So, after that, I decided to ask them to catalog the FMG items. They say they can, but I must prioritize-should they concentrate on cataloging the physical media items that we have waiting (several thousand, due to alumni donations) or the FMG collection (also several thousand titles). What do you all think, collective wisdom?

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.
