He'll be sworn in Wednesday as the new Archivist of the United States, the 10th person to hold the position, and the first librarian. Host Liane Hansen visits the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and tours the "treasures vault" with Ferriero. http://www.npr.org/templates/player/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist =false&id=122416367&m=122417659 VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
