Hello,
I looked into going with LOC once (in closed stacks), and I believed one
of the tripping points was that the call numbers for feature films would
be very similar (every one starts with PN 1995 or there about). I would
go with a modified LOC that would drop the PN 1995 and use the rest of
the call number. Good luck, and keep us posted, I am curious to see how
this goes.
regards,
jhs

Finally, it
’
s going to happen
*
we
’
re going to start circulating video to students from open stacks.
The big stumbling block now is how to label the videos on the shelf
*
Use the Library of Congress cal
l number, or use some other title-based system
*
I like using LOC, but others on the committee would prefer a more
user-friendly system.
What says the collective wisdom?

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.
