Construction of this new version of the library is still in progress. The import of videos from the old version of the library is about 90% complete and should be completed in the next day or two. During this time the video library is open to public, no login or registration necessary.  We appreciate your patience with this process.

With the rebuilding of over 800 interlinked pages with video content, there are bound to be some errors and glitches. Please let us know of any problems or concerns by using our contact form here. Your help is greatly appreciated.
