Alas, in my experience if a particular film cannot be found in WorldCat it is often a very strong indication that it has not be released in video--be it either in VHS or DVD. The exception might be some new DVDs released within the last few weeks or so. Certain documentary films might also take time
to turn up in WorldCat.

Best,
Anthony

Our library would like to borrow this film from another library for one of our patrons: The D.I. with Jack Webb, 1957

It is not in the World Catalog where I usually borrow from.

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.
