Hi Brooke- Guest borrowers are only allowed to watch our DVDs in the library. We take IDs and allow them to have one film at a time. We do not differentiate between feature films and documentaries but have both in our collection.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me directly. Jodi Jodi Hoover Digital Media Librarian Albin O.

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.
