[Videolib] ALA Notable Videos for Adults

[Julia Churchill]

[Please excuse cross-postings. -- JC]



Greetings Media Librarians,



The Notable Videos for Adults Committee has three vacancies to fill this year. 
We aim for a balanced mix of librarians from academic, public and special 
libraries that work with media and serve adult populations.  We are looking for 
three librarians from an academic, special, or public library to balance out 
the team.



This is an opportunity to serve on a rewarding and enjoyable professional 
committee at the national level. Members of the committee must be members of 
the American Library Association (ALA) and the Video Round Table (VRT). Please 
note that representatives or employees of video producers or distributors are 
not eligible to serve.



Each member will serve a term of two years, with a maximum number of 
consecutive terms not to exceed two, for a total of four years of service.



All committee members are required to:



*  Be members of ALA and the Video Round Table (VRT),



*  Attend ALA Midwinter for two consecutive years (Seattle and Philadelphia),



*  View, evaluate and mail a substantial amount of videos leading up to ALA 
Midwinter.  Last year, over 60 titles were nominated.



For complete information about the committee, please visit our web page:



http://www.ala.org/vrt/notablevideos



If you are interested in volunteering for the committee, please respond 
directly to me by April 1, 2012.  A decision on Notable Committee invitations 
will be made shortly thereafter in consultation with the Chair of the Video 
Round Table.  Please indicate your membership status with ALA and VRT, your 
ability to commit to attending ALA Midwinter, and include additional 
information regarding your experience with videos (i.e., selection, collection 
development, reviewing, etc.).



Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.


Thank You,

Julia Churchill

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.

Re: [Videolib] Bing Crosby's King of Jazz DVD?

[Jessica Rosner]

Not to be a stickler but it is Paul Whiteman's KING OF JAZZ. Crosby merely
makes an early film appearence in it.
It is actually in the process of a very expensive restoration. The current
material is OK but not great and I believe they recently found better
material. I am sure it won't becoming out anytime soon but when it does it
should look great. It is one of the most high profile film restorations.

  Does anyone know if Bing Crosby’s “King of Jazz” will be released on DVD
