In general this just goes to the issue that not every film ever made is going to be available and sometimes instructors will have to find something else On Tue, Jan 12, 2016 at 12:57 PM, Sarah E.

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.
