Re: [Videolib] Video Selection: Subject Selector or Media Specialist?
Hi Benjamin, At UVA the selection and purchase of videos is primarily the responsibility of the media librarian and are purchased from a central media budget. If subject librarians get requests from their faculty for media items they usually forward them to me. Our CJK librarian will sometimes purchase videos from his budget, as will our librarian for Middle Eastern Studies.

Re: [Videolib] Video Selection: Subject Selector or Media Specialist?
At William Paterson University, it's a shared role. As the media librarian, I oversee the collection making sure there are not gaps and we have subjects that bring different perspectives. However, the subject librarians meet regularly with their faculty and know the curriculum. I work with them on finding out what they needs are and then make recommendations. In order for us to have a collection, both print and media that supports the curriculum, we need to share the responsibility. The subject librarian will then know what to suggest to faculty in both formats and they will have more of an ownership of the collection. Being one person, I cannot spend the time with individual faculty, but with the assistance of the subject librarians, we succeed in obtaining titles they need to support their teaching. There is education that is needed and I have spent many workshops with the subject librarians in educating them about media and the sources to check for titles in their disciplines. It's ongoing, but I feel that it works for us and I am not overwhelmed since I too take care of all the computer and media equipment support in the classrooms. Jane B.

Re: [Videolib] Video Selection: Subject Selector or Media Specialist?
At our library we have librarians who are also subject bibliographers, and they are responsible for selecting materials in their subject areas. They also serve as liaisons to the departments on campus and work with the faculty to acquire items needed for their research and for their students use in their studies.

Re: [Videolib] Video Selection: Subject Selector or Media Specialist?
As the Media Librarian, I probably do 90% of the selection, but I do solicit opinions from the faculty, and after 10 years here I have a feeling for what would be useful for our faculty.

Re: [Videolib] Video Selection: Subject Selector or Media Specialist?
Hi Ben...you ARE a curious guy At UCB I'm the primary selector for video across disciplines. I have my own budget, which serves all disciplines. Occasionally, other subject selectors will request a title (generally something requested of them by their faculty)...often they pay and we house it in MRC (our Environmental Design/Architecture; Anthropology; and SSE Asia bibliographers are the most vigorous in this respect). gary Dear Colleagues, At your institutions, is DVD and Video selection the responsibility of subject specialists, or primarily the responsibility of a media specialist?

Re: [Videolib] Video Selection: Subject Selector or Media Specialist?
I am the liaison/subject librarian for art, architecture, industrial design and music as well as the interdisciplinary media librarian for video and digital images and Head, Fine Arts Visual Resources (also includes Drama, Dance Film and associated subject specialist) at the University of Calgary Library, so I acquire print and media materials for my subject areas as well as manage/coordinate the interdisciplinary media collection and staff. I have an interdisciplinary video collections fund which is used mainly to acquire titles suggested by teaching faculty for classroom use either by submissions directly to my unit or submitted via other liaison/subject librarians to my unit. All of us liaison/subject librarians can also submit requests to this interdisciplinary fund however this accounts for a minority of the requests. Any titles acquired with the interdisciplinary fund must be housed in our main video collection. In addition, subject librarians can and do sometimes order videos from their own library subject funds, new faculty library collection funds, or sometimes teaching faculty grants. Videos funded from other funds are still ordered in our unit (where the video ordering and PPR expertise lies) however can be housed in the requestor's branch library or other library location. Towards the end of a fiscal year when there is money left in the interdisciplinary video fund, I often confer selectively with subject librarians on titles to spend out the remaining funds. And yes, some subject librarians are more proactive in requesting videos for the collection than others. We verify that video titles are not available in our vendor-hosted streaming video collections before acquiring on DVD. We don't yet have our own streaming video server and process. Streaming video collections are acquired through separate centralized funds collaboratively between myself and a Collections librarian.
