Hi Scott, Speaking from a review magazine viewpoint, I can say that the vast majority of documentaries submitted to Video Librarian are still DVD only, although we are starting to see some more dual-format submissions (but no or almost no Blu-ray only for documentaries aimed at the institutional market). DVD still has legs :)

Are you folks transitioning over to Blu-ray? Do DVDs still have a place in libraries? How much of your new purchases are streaming as opposed to physical media?

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.
