%X The Binghamton University Libraries are the official archival repository for a collection of videotapes from the Binghamton Community Poets’ “Big Horror Reading Series” which featured locally, nationally, and internationally-known writers. For preservation and access purposes, the videotapes were digitized and DVD versions were produced. Excerpts were reformatted and mounted on Content Pro, a digital repository. The excerpts were then associated with the print titles from which they originate via our Aleph catalog. This creates a truly unique experience for our patrons, as the catalog record “comes alive” and they can see and hear something from the book before they even take it off the shelf to read.
