[Videolib] The VRT Membership Booth Needs You!

2012-05-31 Thread Rosen, Rhonda J.

Hi VRT Members!

VRT will have a booth at the upcoming Annual Conference in Anaheim, California, 
and we are seeking volunteers to staff it.  It’s a great opportunity to promote 
VRT and video librarianship in general.

We need coverage Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 to 5:00.  Two-hour shifts are 
ideal, but 1-hour shifts are also welcome.  We’re hoping to have two volunteers 
for each hour.

 If you are attending and can help us out, please let me know what days/times 
you want and I will add you to the schedule.  You can view the current schedule 
on the VRT wiki at: http://vrt.ala.org/wiki/index.php?title=VRT_Booth_Schedule.

The schedule is wide open right now, so now is your chance to get a prime spot!

Thanks for your help,
Rhonda Rosen

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. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
