I think I understand the rationale for this... but I favor keeping
videos together, for a number of reasons:

* Patrons *do* look for informtion by format. Why make
patrons go two places for videos.
* If a video is not on the shelf where it is *supposed* to be,
the other shelving location has to be checked, in the event the item was
mis-shelved.
* If you provide viewing units, are you able to place units
throughout the Library?
* The catalog provides access to all materials in the
collection already

And lastly....

Libraries do not integrate their print collections: journals are in
a separate area, as are Reference books, children's books, fiction, atlases,
dictionaries, oversize.... are these items going to be integrated as well?
