    The Satellite Video Exchange Society of Vancouver published an annual directory listing about 500 individuals and groups involved with small-format video; the catalog was organized internationally by region, compiled from contributor information, initially distributed free and, by 1979, subject to a minimal charge for non-listed parties. The society also published Video Guide and maintained the Video Inn library; editorial credits include Andy Harvey, Shawn Preus and Paul Wong (1977) and Mary Ready (1979), with an introduction by Paul Wong. The text outlines the society's rationale for non-commercial videotape exchange, types of exchange, copyright limitations and free circulation practices; Video Inn has 1/2" European Sony VTRs and has engaged in video exchange since 1973.
