We have 'study guide available' listed in our media descriptions,
where appropriate.
We considered listing links in the annotation, but after a few years
the links disappear with the websites (many NOVA videos, for
instance). Printed guides last longer, but take up more space. If they
are readily available teachers will take them, but if not, they gather
dust.
The best option? Include the study guide on the DVD. That takes up no
shelf space, is readily available to the user and doesn't disappear
before the DVD does.

Gary's comments about study guides made me wonder how other
libraries are dealing with the fact that so many are online only
now. We have lots of them in print too, but many don't come with a
printed guide any longer but the web site contains a pdf link to a
guide. Since our collection is browseable, I wonder if people don't
always know the guides exist. I wonder if any libraries put a link
in the catalog to the guide's web site? Does anyone print them out
and put them on the shelves with the videos?

very nice, Rachel!
By the way, most higher ed faculty could care less about study guides,
lesson guides, and other printed ancillary materials. We have
shelves of
the stuff gathering dust here.
You neglected to include the important point about making it easy to
order
and pay for the stuff...Nothing drives an institutional buyer
crazier than
a stupid or confusing or ineffective web site...or a filmmaker who
fumbles
invoicing and fulfillment.
