Yes and yes. In our case, the film was not in high demand, and we never did get clearance. So, eventually we just got rid of it. If it were something that faculty really wanted to use, I would have followed up regularly with the filmmaker to 1) let him/her know of the interest 2) Be on top of any clearance that did come through.
This happened almost immediately after the point of purchase, so we were not charged for this dvd.

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.
