Greetings Colleagues and ALA Midwinter Boston attendees:
(And the usual apologies for cross posting.)
This is a reminder of the Video Round Tables Digital Media Discussion
Group meeting. This year we are hoping for a feast of digital streaming
talk, puns intended. Because the agenda for this meeting is:
Recipes for Streaming Media: Ingredients and Menus
Please consider attending the VRT DMDG in Boston. This hopefully will be
an active discussion to identify the "meat and potatoes" of digital
streaming as being served by libraries today. We are asking digital
service chefs from all types of institutions to come and talk about
their streaming cuisine. And we also are hoping that budding digital
chefs will come with questions and suggest their own tasty ideas. By the
end of the discussion banquet we hope to have a shopping list of
ingredients that can or must be considered when planning, cooking and
serving streaming video. We are hoping to talk about successes, failures
and learnings we have had so far in dishing up our systems.
In preparation for the discussion please see the full discussion agenda
and the topic ingredients listed in the VRT Midwinter Wiki:

Leftovers from our banquet will boxed-lunched on the VRT Wiki for later
meals.
Questions? Please contact your discussion maître d'hôtel at my email below.
Bon Appétit!

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.
