in a perfect world yes, videos and all other forms of non print media
could be interfiled, but due to security, internal politics, costs
and/or any of another 100+ reasons, non print media often is put in
their own areas. As media librarians, we strive in numerous of ways to
get our patrons to know that there are materials on various subjects
available, and what Pamela is doing is one way about it. We do what we
can, sometimes the hardest point is getting patrons to talk to us.

I'm not a librarian but I've never understood why videos are segregated
from the rest of the collection. If I'm browsing through a selection of
books about Jane Goodall and other books about chimpanzee research, I
would most likely also be interested in viewing your National
Geographic video dealing with the same subject. If the video is on the
shelf with books of a similar topic, I'd more likely a) know it exists
and b) check it out. I doubt I would wander down to the AV department
just to see if their were any videos about chimps.

As a video & multimedia producer, I'd much prefer to see my documentary
&cd-rom on Native Americans shelved beside books on the same topic.
The goal of most documentarians is to get people interested in a
subject so that hopefully they will want to explore it more on their
own. I think shelving books, videos, & CDROMs together would create a
great synergy and you might even see circulation for all increase.
