Please excuse any duplication.] Do you have a digital video or moving image collection that you d like to make available via the Web? Are limited technology or financial resources holding you back? The Open Video Digital Library Toolkit (http://www.open-video-toolkit.org) may be the solution for you, but we need your help. The Toolkit is based on the Open Video Project (http://www.open-video.org/), a digital video repository/library which has received many requests from organizations wanting to build something similar for their own use. Simmons College and Northeast Historic Film have received a National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to create a collection of template files, documentation and tutorials ( the Toolkit ) to enable libraries, museums and other organizations with limited resources to easily make their moving image collections available via the Web. The Toolkit will be created with the open source platform of Apache, MySQL, and PHP and will be available free of charge. In order to ensure that the Toolkit is designed to effectively serve the organizations that need it most, we are conducting a survey of potential implementers of the Toolkit. If you have been considering building a digital video library, please respond to our 20 questions, which can be completed in approximately 20 minutes. You can complete the survey anonymously, or you can submit your contact details to be kept informed of the progress of the Toolkit, potentially participate in a pilot project, and be entered in a drawing to receive one of two $25 amazon.com gift certificates! To learn more about the Open Video Digital Library Toolkit and complete the survey: http://www.open-video-toolkit.org/survey/ Thank you in advance for your assistance, and we look forward to helping you make your moving image collections more accessible.
