This is our list of browser/genre categories. As our collection is large
enough to be daunting, it is neccessary to break it down as much as possible
so that people have a better chance of finding what they are looking for.
Some of these categories (health, social science, history) are being broken
down still further as they have proven to be too general.
We also have a document describing how we assign browser categories, if
anyone is interested. 7-day films are usually non-fiction films. All others
are regarded as fiction or feature films and are 3-day films. Experimental
films, work by video artists,films about artists work, etc are usually filed
under Fine Arts Assorted. We do buy them and they circulate regularly.
