About Video Librarian
A trusted collection-development voice for nearly 40 years.
Since 1986, Video Librarian has helped librarians, educators, and faculty build multimedia collections for campuses, institutions, and communities. In 2020, we went fully digital — migrating decades of editorial, indexing more than 40,000 reviews, and expanding into books, EdTech, classroom media, and instructional resources.
Every piece is written by librarians, educators, and critics who understand how these materials are actually selected, used, and shared. Since going digital, our readership has more than doubled.
