I don't remember the last time a faculty member asked for a teacher's
guide, handouts, etc. to accompany a title in our collection. We try to
provide links to relevant information in our catalog. We have closed
stacks in compact shelving, so don't file guides, etc. with the media.
We rotate the DVD covers in public displays and can pull them if needed,
but don't keep them in the cases, either.

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.
