[Videolib] Libraries and Media in campus tours
I suspect that the lack of focus on media services in campus tours is as much an issue of the * library's * focus on what matters. It is well known that historically libraries have treated media as 2nd class citizens (the red-haired stepchild as I call it). Collections get short shrift in budget, in cataloging, in building placement, as resources for research, in access (closed-stacks, anyone?) Libraries often have a say in how they are covered in tours, and provide talking points. If the media collection is not covered on the tour or interview process, it often is because the library has not highlighted it. Same with Dennis' comment about university presidents and funding. The funding is there, but libraries don't put it towards media needsŠ. Again because that $5000 towards media titles in one time purchase is not as important as that $5000 a year science journal. -deg deg farrelly, Media Librarian Arizona State University Libraries Hayden Library C1H1 P.O.

Here at USC at the beginning of each new academic year I make it a practice to offer certain incitements (bribes?) to make sure that my colleagues handling library orientation sessions always put in a nice plug about our most fabulous video collection.;-) Cheers!

Re: [Videolib] Libraries and Media in campus tours
I interpreted what was said differently, I thought he was saying, visit the LIBRARY on the campus tour. On my campus, the kids are shown the rec center and other cool places but do not get a library tour. I would take what you said about Media Centers in libraries and replace media center with library and that is the view of the library on campus. regards jhs John H.
