[Videolib] ALA-midwinter

Hi All, Landmark Media is thinking of attending mid winter ALA in January (who wouldn't want to get out of Chicago in January?). Would love to know from all of you who usually attends in the way of media exhibitors and buyers. We know it is not as heavily attended as mid summer but can

Because there are few programs, the exhibits are the big draw when attendees are not in business meetings. And many sections are meeting virtually for Midwinter so it is possible that those of us going will have even more time to visit the exhibits. Christine Crowley Dean of Learning

conventional wisdom (begging forgiveness) has it that the folks who attend ALA Midwinter are higher up on the food chain in their respective organizations and actually make purchase decisions...or more importantly, they are the folks who will later be asked to consider requests from their

I think I can do it in two sentences. Film shown IN class with instructor present (I am sure a TA would count) as part of curriculum of a course and limited only to students enrolled in the course is OK. All other group showings require PPR. Now frankly no one is likely to chase down a student

I didn't realize it was in Chicago. Well, my question then is, why shouldn't I be there? The ALA is only 3 blocks away from my office. Maybe I'll see some Video libbers there! Would love to see some other media libarians. -Laura ~~ AnswersMedia Laura Fu Video Assets

Dear Collected minds, Our photography faculty member is asking me to replace the Great Photographers Series on VHS with DVD. The series were published by Media Loft. I found a website with this name. But it does not have a catalog of DVDs and they did not answer my inquiry. I suppose these are

I agree that it is pretty clear. I would just lift some text from the law. That way you'll get the text about face-to-face teaching activities of a non-profit educational institution without adding criteria that are not explicitly in the law. You may need to reword what it says about where

Uh, I was planning to attend it in San Diego. Since when was it moved to Chicago or have I completely misunderstood this threat? It's been that kind of day---off to a late start and then victimized by the health insurance industry once again. Don't get me started! Christine Crowley Dean of

Re: [Videolib] Are UPC codes important to video selectors?

Yes. In my previous position as a media selector for a large library district (a job I left 6 mos. ago) one of the primary searches I used to locate media was the UPC number. ISBN's for media were not reliable and oftentimes not even listed on the vendor sites. On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 3:23 PM,

Randy, You'll have to check the DVD releases of the smaller distributors. I suspect for companies that distribute educational titles, ISBN is very prevalent. For indie distributors such as New Yorker and Zeitgeist and Oscilloscope, I'm not sure they do. I started adding the optional ISBN numbers
