Hi
Check out Jim Scholtz' excellent chapter on the topic in:
Video collection development in multi-type libraries : a handbook / edited
by Gary P. Handman. 2nd ed. Westport, Conn. : Greenwood Press, 2002.
...am I shameless, or what?

Hi
I am about to embark on a journey some of you have no doubt traveled, and I wonder if I could get some directions. I have to create a collection development and management policy for the video (VHS and DVD), and sound (music CD, spoken word CD, and books on tape) collections.
How did you go about doing it?
What kind of policy do you have (separate from library book policy, or part of that same policy)?
How strictly do you follow the policy?
Do you include educational/documentary videos and popular Hollywood videos?
Thank you, in advance, for your input. Brian
