Or maybe not even in your libraries, but elsewhere. This is one of my most recent discoveries among family home movies I’m converting and restoring. I’m also helping quite a few University of Michigan professors make some of their 30-40-year-old audiovisual research (movies, slides) accessible again.

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.
