"...deciding just who or which library would be responsible..." No, actually it's established that the instant the materials leave the lending library, they become the responsibility of the borrowing library. Which can cause for bad feelings if the materials are sent without insurance or good packing materials.

Items sent out on ILL do (occasionally) get lost in the mail, or do not get returned by the patron doing the borrowing, or get damaged somehow--something very much prone to aging VHS tapes. And deciding just who or which library would be responsible for making up the loss would be no small mess in itself. Best, Anthony Anderson ******************************* Anthony E.

I can get it here: http://shop.vendio.com/HARDTOFINDFILMS/ But not sure if it is legit (I feel certain it is not). I see Zipporah has it on VHS for $400 (that's all) and it is not available in DVD. >From Worldcat most of the copies are from Zipporah, and one from 'Nostalgia >Collector" which I don't think is in business anymore.

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.
