From: Freddie Siler <FSILER_at_ASUNET.ALASU.EDU>
I am sending this message to the listserv to find out if anyone is aware of
specific standards that can be used to determine what percentage of a
library's total collection should videos constitute. I am particularly
interested in standards that focus on video collections in a curriculum or
instructional materials library. If your library orders non-print materials,
do you have a separate budget allocation for videos and/or AV
materials? If so, what formula(s) do you use to calculate the allocation?
Also, with the impact of changing technology, what are some of the
pitfalls of building a video collection? Please share any literature that you
might have that discuss building and maintaining a balance collection of
print and non-print formats.
Please respond directly to:
