Hi Everyone,

   As you get ready to go to the National Media Market please keep in mind the 
ALA Notable Videos for Adults Committee. We are looking for some videos to 
consider for our final list.
The criteria for nomination is as follows:

Categories of videos that will not be considered are feature films and those 
videos directed at a very specific and highly specialized audience, such as 
clinical videos.
High quality production values are understood as criteria for inclusion on the 
final list. The committee is looking for uniqueness of vision and execution in 
its selections.
A title should meet at least one, and preferable more than one, of the 
following criteria to be included on the list:

  1.  The title addresses a new topic that has not been addressed in another 
program.
  2.  The title expands the viewers' knowledge of a particular subject.
  3.  The title clarifies or explains a difficult topic, making it 
understandable to a general audience.
  4.  The title promises to contribute significantly to the solution of a 
contemporary problem.
  5.  The title expands the boundaries of the video medium, or application of 
video in a new and unusual manner.
If you are a librarian and not affiliated with a video producer or distributor, 
you can suggest titles for the committee's consideration. You need not be a VRT 
member to nominate titles.
The nomination form is at http://www.ala.org/vrt/notablevideos/form
If anyone belongs to another list serve that you think might be interested 
please feel free to share this.

Julie by not considering feature films I assume you mean feature fiction
films as opposed to feature length documentaries. Some times the term
feature film can mean different things so just checking.
