It makes a simple browse of the videotapes rather difficult because one has to look through all of them in order to find all tapes in a given subject. If nothing else, at least group them by subject. There are over 70,000 items in the Nonbook Collection, with over 3,000 video recordings so to do a reclassification project would not be feasible. We have also developed a bibliography grouping videos into broad subject categories. It has proven to be very useful in many cases.
Copies are available in paper format in the literature racks in the Curriculum area of the Library.
It can also be accessed from the main ROSI screen. You can click on any of the broad subject categories at the beginning or just scroll through the list. Regarding the recent complaints about noise in the library, I completely agree. I constantly see librarians moving between levels. With finals week approaching very quickly, this problem can only get more intense.
