Video materials in Moffet, where security sent me packing, plus a text which was in Gardner, I think. Fortunately, a second copy turned out to be available in the Ethnic Studies library (open to public). This wasn't a pleasure cruise -- I had to find a last-minute citation for my book on video culture for SIUP, in order to make a publishing deadline. I ended up spending a lovely afternoon a few blocks away, at the Berkeley city library, which didn't check IDs and didn't seem to have hordes of street people camping in the stacks.

Just one of those, um, educational experiences.
