I have used Bullfrogs Translation Possible as a intro to discussion. My favorite is still the BBC *Crosstalk* tv series: *Multiracial Britain*(1982). It is concise, personal, specific, impactful, dated, and out-of-print. I would love to find another film which shows and analyzes real communication!

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.
