The center is in effect the first public library devoted to the electronic media, but in addition it sponsors discussions of issues impacting the media. There are three criteria for adding a program to the center's collection: excellence, historical significance, and social impact. A west coast branch, which duplicates the New York branch's entire collection of more than 140,000 television and radio programs and commercials, was opened in Beverly Hills, Calif. in 1996.
