Conclusion:
Rather than provide one-time funding to the Library to purchase the above titles now, the School for Contemporary Arts has indicated that they would prefer to acquire them over time. When possible, films from the original course outline will be purchased, and the cost will be covered out of the existing library budget for Contemporary Arts. Many of these titles, however, are most likely priced as art works, and may be beyond the reach of the existing budget.
