There's a smallish teaching media library which grew out of the old Audiovisual dept. which maintained both projectors and films. It was the Film Library, and then the Media Library. Now it has come under the control of Film Studies and they renamed it FMR (that's what's on the door, with no explanation of what's inside--they would prefer to keep their resources to themselves).
I assume though that this stands for Film and Media Resources, a name which might be more inviting than just Media Resources. Media is lots of stuff, but Film includes all the DVD, streaming, and other options that people might be interested in.

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.
