Hello Collected Wisdom, We just received a request from an instructor who wants us to make available via our course reserves a DVD-R copy of Jean Renoir's *A Day in the Country* as the only DVD on the marketplace is the region 2 edition from BFI (so it cannot be played here at school). They already finalized their syllabus for the class (so the film list for the students is set in stone) and is insisting we make this copy available. I'm looking to relay to them, including some direct links, guidelines for everything that they can and cannot put on reserve. Are there, then, any good recommendations for websites/guidelines that can be passed along to interested parties in instances like this? Thanks in advance!

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.
