Hi Kate, Lisa mentioned *See What I'm Saying *already - this is a good one. Tugg is actually just about to release a Deaf culture and ASL series from the same director called *Sign With Robert*. It also features Deaf entertainer Robert DeMayo. It will be available on DVD and also VOD. This is the announcement trailer from the director: https://vimeo.com/125976392
It doesn't come out until 9/28, but here is a link <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1xZVjWEXNBfc9VFhjvOewzDj0JpvfF6PhRm_rBCBu3p4/viewform>to sign up for more information and to get early bird discount. I can send more information as well, just let me know. Also, NO ORDINARY HERO: THE SUPERDEAFY MOVIE <https://www.tugg.com/titles/superdeafy> is very popular!

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.
