Screen-L often handles requests from students/scholars looking for
particular tapes/films to further their studies.  Since Screen-L is devoted
to the study of film/TV, I see this as an entirely appropriate activity.
 
However, I'd suggest we shy away from posting long lists of our PERSONAL
tape collections and wish lists of tapes we're looking for.  If you're just
looking for a tape to fill out your own personal Hugo Haas archive, then
you'd probably be better served by Cinema-L or one of the other general
interest discussion lists.
