This title was not found in the catalog.

Member libraries should conduct a reasonable search for an unused copy at a fair price before making a preservation copy of the work.  The developers of the videotrust.org database determined that a reasonable search consists of:

• The catalog/website of the original publisher/distributor of the video
• WorldCat - to gather information about whether a DVD has ever been in distribution and by whom
• Amazon - to see if an unused copy of the title is available at a fair price
• A general web search for the title and producer name

If a search of these resources does not return information on new copies for purchase, it is reasonably safe to assume the title is no longer in commercial distribution.  Some distributors retain rights to back catalogs but do not list those titles in current title listings.  If in doubt, communication directly with the distributor can confirm ongoing availability.
