It's been "Urban animals" since at least December of 2012, so at least now the 
library world is a better place for cockroaches and those who love them.

I've had similar thoughts, often during cataloging committee meetings at ALA 
Conferences, but it seems to me that cataloging consultants and, to a lesser 
extent, academic library catalogers are more often the ones displaying mole 
people-like characteristics. Granted, we're all catalogers at those meetings 
with all that entails, so the differences may not be evident to non-catalogers.

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.
