FILM AND VIDEO

Several MIT Libraries collect films and video formats.  For example,
Rotch Visual Collections has a large collection of films, videotapes,
and videodiscs on art history, planning, architecture, archaeology and
anthropology; Barker Library has videotapes on engineering subjects;
Humanities has a small collection of plays on videotape; the Music
Library has videotapes of operas; and Dewey Library has videotapes
related to management and political science.  All these libraries have
VCRs for viewing the tapes.  Most of these videotapes are cataloged on
Barton.

The Libraries do not collect feature films.  The Literature Section of
the Humanities Department does maintain such a collection, primarily
to provide a resource for classroom instruction, but the films are
available to all members of the MIT community at the Film Office,
14N-414, 253-3599,during the academic year, Monday-Thursday 10 AM-5
PM, Friday 12-5 PM.  These films are not part of the Libraries'
collection, and are not cataloged on Barton.
