List
I know I put up a March deadline for contributions to the Great Video
Core List In the Sky, but...hey...I've only received 3 or four lists so
far. Where's all that enthusiasm and thunder that was rolling re this
topic a few months back.
Again: if I can't get at least 10 or 15 contributors and 150-200 titles,
I don't think it's gonna be worth thinking about publishing this list in
the forthcoming Video Collection Development book.
I'm appending below my original call for contributors:

Subject: A Video Core List (aka The Desert Island List)
Hullooo all! Hope your holidays were wonderful and that the new century
finds you all in good health and spirits.
Back now at my poor beleaguered (albeit YK2 compliant) machine, I figure
it's as good a time as any to embark on the little project we discussed
before the holidays: the compilation of a 200 title core list of
<bold><bigger><bigger><bigger>non-feature</bigger></bigger></bigger></bold>
videos (i.e. NO MOVIES, at least for this round) for a hypothetical library collection (to be included in the forthcoming 2nd ed of my book on video collection development, if we can pull it off).
Here are the rules and concepts I think I'd like to adhere to:
The point of this exercise is to cooperatively develop a short list of best and brightest works of non-feature videos...a tough job, I know, and one fraught with all kinds of pitfalls...but let's giv
Think of this as a from-ground-zero core list for a largish urban public library located in town in which there's also a mid-sized liberal arts college.

In order for this list to be valid, I think I'm going to need <underline>at least</underline> 10 or 15 participants (the more the better). Please submit your name, working title, and full mailing ad
As Great Editor In the Sky, I will reserve the right to weed duplicate entries, or, in the event that we exceed 200 titles (which I'd love!), to make the final cut.
Before we begin, let me know if I've left something out, or if clarification is needed. I reallllllly hope we can make this work!
Best,
