We're doing some policy changes and Circ needs me to come up with some statistics on average cost of DVDs these days. I am getting our average cost in-house but that number will obviously be skewed by the high cost of academic films and the low cost of feature films. I tried Bowker Annual, but it only lists book prices. Is there any source out there where I can find average cost for DVDs (feature films and academic)?
Thanks so much, Philip Philip Bahr Reference & Media Librarian DiMenna-Nyselius Library Fairfield University 1073 North Benson Road Fairfield, CT 06824 203-254-4206 [email protected] 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.
