As a point of curiosity, I wonder do many institutions out there maintain a "blanket no-lending" policy on ILL of media? Here at the University of Southern California, musical cds do go out on out on ILL but *not* our video materials. And currently there is no enthusiasm at all about revising this policy, but perhaps those institutions which do lend out their dvds on ILL could make a good case
why institutions like USC should perhaps be more flexible...

Cheers!
Anthony

In this case, it's likely to be a recording of a local interview.

And I would argue that this is one reason libraries shouldn't have a blanket no-lending policy for ILL of media.

Maybe you'll get lucky and York is a lender.

working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
