Wait does this mean ALA has finally recognized visual media? I still remember Randy Pittman's priceless rant from years ago when ALA did not even admit media was an important part of a library's mission. On Thu, Jul 7, 2011 at 1:01 PM, Laskowski, Mary S wrote: > Hello all, > > Just wanted

Howz bout waiving membership for members of this list. I'd venture that, of the 500 or so subscribers, few, if any, of us or our institutions belong to CIP. gary handman > Greetings, > > Don't miss out on this great opportunity, and please share this > information with friends and colleagues! >

I just checked and they seem to have a category of "free membership." But I guess, from the below, that they want "full individual" memberships at $60 as the minimum. Judy -Original Message- From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behal

very nice, Rachel! By the way, most higher ed faculty could care less about study guides, lesson guides, and other printed ancillary materials. We have shelves of the stuff gathering dust here. You neglected to include the important point about making it easy to order and pay for the stuff...Not

Gary's comments about study guides made me wonder how other libraries are dealing with the fact that so many are online only now. We have lots of them in print too, but many don't come with a printed guide any longer but the web site contains a pdf link to a guide. Since our collection is bro

We have 'study guide available' listed in our media descriptions, where appropriate. We considered listing links in the annotation, but after a few years the links disappear with the websites (many NOVA videos, for instance). Printed guides last longer, but take up more space. If they are

Dear Gary, Sad to hear that printed materials are not important, but it's funny because individuals insist on them. I've always liked to add 2000+ pages of original documents about the film on my DVDs but you can't do that on Blu-Ray since few people have that for their computers. To be fair to R

Sorta depends on the printed material, Dennis. I think program notes for feature films can be useful (and have actually been used on occasion here)--providing they're authoritative and add something to the literature. (The same, I might say, goes for supplementary materials on DVDs) On the othe
