We have three: Higher Mathematics, Joy of Science, and Calculus Made Clear. The Calculus probably gets the most usage. Users have been quite positive about it.

Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2011 12:42 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] great courses Hi everyone, I've got a faculty who wants to order one of those "Great Courses." I've tried to avoid them over the years as I consider them more in the talking heads kind of productions, And basically a substitute for a teacher, rather than a supplement....but am I wrong? Do any of you purchase them for your collections....they are often like 20 - ½ hour lectures.....lots of space taken up.... Just curious, Rhonda Rhonda Rosen| Head, Media & Access Services William H.

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.
