<<BBC Learning can sell programmes to organisations for educational,
training and cultural purposes providing we hold the relevant rights. The
basic price of a programme is £195 + delivery and vat, though discounts

Unfortunately the relevant rights on this series have expired. I'm sorry to
disappoint you.>>

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.
