Hello,
Anyone have suggestions for Mexican DVDs (and suppliers) that would =
appeal to transient workers and be suitable for a public library?
A variety of Nuevo Cine Mexicano (New Mexican Cinema) titles are on the =
way and others are in the collection but I have been advised that those =
may not be of interest to the majority of the people we are trying to =
reach.
Thanks.

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.
