[Videolib] Final Call: ALA Notables nominations needed by November 1st
Hi Videolib Colleagues, This is just a final reminder that the VRT Notable Videos for Adults committee is seeking nominations for non-fiction/documentary films produced in 2010 or 2011 and nominated by someone unaffiliated with the film http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/rts/vrt/notablevideos/index.cfm . At this point, we have 58 nominations, and in order to ensure that everyone on the Notables committee can watch the films (we mail them to each other), I ask that you send me your nominations by November 1st. Even if the video isn't released until after November, please send me your nominations. (Sometimes documentarians or distributors are happy to send their videos out early.) Use this link to submit your nomination http://www.tacoma.washington.edu/library/media/vrt/notable.cfm (or if it's a huge pain, just email me). Thanks to all who have nominated films, and big thanks to the amazing distributors that I've worked with so far.

[Videolib] [Fwd: [District Dispatch] Call for Nominations: Robert L. Oakley Memorial Scholarship]
Original Message Subject: [District Dispatch] Call for Nominations: Robert L. Oakley Memorial Scholarship From: Carrie Russell districtdispa...@alawash.org Date: Mon, October 24, 2011 9:20 am To: ghand...@library.berkeley.edu Reply To: Carrie Russell districtdispa...@alawash.org -- In recognition of his life accomplishments and contributions, the American Library Association and the Library Copyright Alliance have established the Robert L. Oakley Memorial Scholarship to support research and advanced study for librarians in their early-to-mid-careers who are interested and/or active in the fields that Robert Oakley was expert in---intellectual property, public policy, copyright and their impacts on libraries and the ways libraries serve their communities. Professor and law librarian Robert Oakley was an expert on copyright law and wrote and lectured on the subject. He served on the Library Copyright Alliance representing the American Association of Law Librarians (AALL) and played a leading role in advocating for U.S. libraries and the public they serve at many international forums including those of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). He served as the United States delegate to the International Federation of Library Associations Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights from 1997-2003. Mr. Oakley testified before Congress on copyright, open access, library appropriations and free access to government documents and was a member of the Library of Congress' Section 108 Study Group. A valued colleague and mentor for numerous librarians, Oakley was a recognized leader in law librarianship and library management who also maintained a profound commitment to public policy and the rights of library users. A $1,000 scholarship to encourage and expand interest in and knowledge of these aspects of librarianship, as well as bring the next generation of advocates, lobbyists and scholars to the forefront with opportunities they might not otherwise have will be awarded annually to an individual or a team of individuals who meet eligibility criteria. Highest consideration will be given to applicants who are librarian(s) in their early-to-mid-careers. They must demonstrate interest in or be professional actively in copyright and public policy and their impacts on libraries and the ways libraries serve their communities. Applicants should provide a statement of intent for use of the scholarship funds. Such a statement should include the applicant's interest and background in intellectual property, public policy, and/or copyright and their impacts on libraries and the ways libraries serve their communities. The statement should include information about how the applicant and the library community will benefit from the applicant's receipt of scholarship. Statements should be no longer than 3 pages (1000 words). The applicant's resume or curriculum vitae should be included in their application. Applications must be submitted via e-mail to Carrie Russell, crussell AT alawash DOT com by March 1, 2012. Awardees may receive the Robert L. Oakley Memorial Scholarship up to two (2) times in a lifetime.

A Review Committee will be made up of the members selected by the Library Copyright Alliance (LCA), with one representative each from the collaborating associations: American Library Association, Association of College and Research Libraries, a division of the American Library Association, and the Association of Research Libraries. ALA Washington Office will oversee jury selection. --- If you no longer wish to receive e-mail from us, please visit http://capwiz.com/ala/lmx/u/?jobid=198044041queueid=7485609466.

[Videolib] Multi-Region Panasonic DVD Player issue
Hi! Has anyone ever had an issue with playing certain DVD titles on the Panasonic multi-region DVD-S68 player. We have certain Region 1 titles that won't, but should, play on this player. The message This disc is not formatted to play in this region shows up on the screen. The odd thing is, the movie will play on the older DVD players without a problem. Has anyone come across this fluke with any of their multi-region DVD players, specifically newer Panasonic models that should play ALL regions? Is there anything else I should look at on the DVD itself? We checked copyright protection and all other labels on the DVDs but we have yet to find what the titles that won't play have in common! Any help would be appreciated, thank you! -Katy -- + Katy Ells Media Access Services Supervisor The College of New Jersey Library 609-771-3235 / e...@tcnj.edu + VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions.

[Videolib] National Media Market update
For those of you who couldn¹t attend the Market this year - The Best of Show award was given to First Run Features for Jane¹s Journey. About the film: It would be hard to name anyone who has had more of an impact in the realm of animal research and wildlife conservation than Jane Goodall, whose 45 year study of wild chimpanzees in Africa is legendary. In Jane's Journey, we travel with her across several continents, from her childhood home in England, to the Gombe National Park in Tanzania where she began her groundbreaking research and where she still returns every year to enjoy the company of the chimpanzees that made her famous. Featuring a wide range of interviews and spectacular footage from her own private collection (including her years in Gombe), Jane's Journey is an inspiring portrait of the private person behind the world-famous icon. You can see a 7-minute clip on the NMM website http://www.nmm.net/market_best_of_show.shtml. Ursula Schwarz National Media Market P.O.

Re: [Videolib] Looking for Visions of Aztlan
It does not appear to be for sale but it has run on several PBS stations and in festivals, including one sponsored by National Geographic in DC about a month ago. I suggest you email a few of the festivals for contact info.
