Video libraries

[kay mary]

I just saw an announcement of a new book from Cornell University Library 
Department of Preservation called *Digital Imaging for Libraries and 
Archives*, by Anne R. Kenney and Stephen Chapman.  It's supposed to 
cover digitizing video materials among other topics.  Since the cost is $75 
plus $5 s&h prepaid, you might want to contact Mary Arsenault 
at mla4 at cornell.edu with any questions.
