Commonwealth Videos
Commonwealth Films in Massachuesetts (Boston, maybe?) both sells and
RENTS records-related videos, among others. They will let you PREVIEW
two videos for a couple of days for around $50, so you can decide if a
particular video is appropriate before showing it to your group. I've
seen their videos on retention and disaster prevention/recovery. While
they were a litte hokey, the basic principles conveyed were right on
target for a general business, non-specialized, non-records audience.
I personnally got a kick out of 'em! I'm considering renting them for
a records awareness program I'm putting together for the spring. The
videos sell for around $500. Happy viewing!

We have purchased two of the videos from Commonwealth Films. They are
excellent tools for training and marketing RIM programs. Granted they
are expensive, particularly for a smaller organization, but they
really drive home some very important points.
NB:From a post on the Recmgmt Mailing list by a couple of differnt
folks. I just can't remeber who they are. I'm Sorry :-(
