Dear Colleagues,

Are your attending ALA Annual 2016 in Orlando, Florida this month?  If so, ALA 
Video Round Table (VRT) has a 2016 ALA Conference lineup that you won’t want to 
miss! With sessions on film programming, media preservation, video tutorials, 
streaming video, and publishing opportunities for media librarians, as well as 
other events, there will be something for everyone!


VRT Sessions

Further Down the Alphabet—Embracing B Movies! (co-sponsored with PLA). Can you 
recite the titles of every Oscar-winner, while finding yourself at a loss in 
the face of patron requests for movies about mutant vegetables? Never fear! 
This program will help you handle these requests with confidence. Come explore 
the world of B, C, and D movies to find films your patrons will love.  
Saturday, 6/25, 10:30-11:30am, Orange County Convention Center, Room W206A

Section 108 VHS Preservation: A Collaborative Database for Due Diligence on VHS 
Videotapes in Academic Libraries (co-sponsored with PARS/ALCTS). Section 108 of 
U.S. Copyright law permits preservation of VHS videotapes but requires that a 
reasonable effort be made to discover the distribution status of each title. If 
that sounds daunting, don’t despair. This presentation will introduce you to a 
new database designed to help. It is possible to preserve the VHS in your 
collection while staying on the right side of copyright law. Come learn how. 
Saturday, 6/25, 3-4pm, Orange County Convention Center, Room W101B

Academic Library Streaming Video Revisited: Key Findings from the Follow-up 
Survey. The latest research available from this ongoing study reveals 
remarkable changes that will help inform academic librarians and administrators 
in planning and developing streaming video collections and services in a 
rapidly changing environment. This talk will tell you everything you want (and 
need) to know about recent trends in library streaming video collections. 
Saturday, 6/25, 4:30-5:30pm Orange County Convention Center, Room W101B

Creating Effective Instructional Video: From Collaboration and Design to 
Assessment. The demand for distance learning is growing exponentially, which 
means that the need for engaging online library instruction has never been 
greater. Come see three different projects and hear experts offer their advice 
on creating—and assessing—top-notch video tutorials. Sunday, 6/26, 1-2:30pm, 
Orange County Convention Center, Room W103B

Publishing Opportunities in Media Librarianship: A Panel Discussion. Do you 
want to publish but feel as if you could use some inspiration and advice?  This 
panel of accomplished authors and editors will be offering their tips for both 
experienced and novice writers. Bring your questions! Sunday, 6/26, 3-4pm, 
Orange County Convention Center, Room W206C

You can also perhaps have Kino-Lorber which deals with him give you 
his direct contact.


My best guess is that maybe he can give you the contact info for an 
old sales agent as the original distribution rights have almost surely 
expired.
