[Videolib] media/digital/transliteracy?

2011-12-06 Thread Maureen Tripp
I have been asked to talk to faculty about some version of these literacies, and suggest some ways our library help our students become more media/digital, or trans literate. My first question: what is the difference between these terms? And the second is like it: what is the preferred term?

Hi Maureen, Trans lit is a new one for me too. Glad Matt was able to clarify because I went a totally different direction. As a producer, we deal mainly in media literacy. The best organization I know that may be able to help is the Center for Media Literacy. Check out

Ben, I think you are a bit hard on companies that don't offer streaming. Most of the small companies you site don't likely have enough of market to set up their own streaming system. In most cases they do offer streaming rights for libraries that want to do it on their own system ( FYI I don't
