----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I need advice from librarians whose collection development responsibilities include video art. In Claremont we are looking at the possibility of collecting examples of video art. To date, we have purchased only the art and artist documentary and exhibition survey types of videos. I would appreciate hearing from all who have policies--or general guidelines--that cover the acquisition, content, access, and preservation of video art. Please email me directly; I will be happy to summarize the responses to the list. Thank you!
