We are a mid-size university. We had NBC Learn for awhile but found it got little use. Most of it is news, and we found that faculty and students seems to get most of that from YouTube, C-Span, and the like. We ended up having to cancel it so we could use the money for more unique content. That was just our experience.

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.
