Hello, everyone!
Okay, so maybe not "annual' since the list time I did this was at least 4
years ago but nonetheless, I'm checking in to get a sense of what is
happening with film collections in public libraries.
Do we know:
- How many public libraries still have 8mm or 16mm collections
- How many public libraries are still lending from those collections
("lending" defined as in-house use, too)?
Please respond to this thread or to me directly at [email protected].
And if you have any ideas on a better method for data collection, I'd like
to hear that, too!
Many thanks,

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.
