MTSU's Media Library does not use wholesalers. Like others have stated,
we purchase directly from documentary distributors, filmmakers, Amazon,
Facets, etc. Insight is last on our go-to list.

It's certainly not true for Eastern Michigan. We are very eclectic and
buy from the filmmakers or the film collectives/media marketeers.
Bullfrog, WMM, NewDay, Insight, /et/ a myriad of al. And yes, Amazon too.

*Subject: *[Videolib] Wholesalers used by academic librarians?
As part of a business research project, trying to find out the extent
to which libraries buy from wholesalers
such as Ingram, Baker & Taylor, and Midwest Tape? I'm particularly
interested in whether academic libraries
buy from wholesalers. Also public libraries. I'm under the
impression that many public libraries buy almost
all their titles from the three mentioned above, or one of the three.
Is the same true of university libraries?
Thanks,

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.
