This case study will examine the response to film and video in the context of an academic library special collections department. While not a true film or video archive, the repository is responsible for diverse media holdings, playback facilities, and a laboratory for preservation copying of audio, video and film.  The presentation will include discussion of the typical collection management problems faced in the academic environment, and where answers to problems have been or may be found.
