All my videos and DVDs are cataloged under Dewey - why would you want a
separate system? Everything is annotated and readily available via the
OPAC - in fact, the circulation of VIDEOS/DVDs is high. We have about 500
titles in the collection - and my goal is 1,000 by June 2005.
I am planning an assignment now with our Holocaust teacher. We are going to
have the students watch a video and create a study guide - it will be their
final project of the year.
