Collective WisdomI've gotten some questions on what will happen at the conference that Friday, so I have a reply directly from the Conference Director. Note that for K-12 folks there is a module being advertised also as "School Docs." But programs for school teachers, school and university librarians, educators and educational filmmakers will be folded into that Friday and available together.
But one thing I forgot to mention before: "Early Bird" registration (and price) is through April 5th. So, like life for most media librarians, time for quick decisions.

We've extended early bird until April 5 - is there any chance you can push this out to your constituency in the next couple of days?
I've pasted below and also attached as a word file.Also -- would like to circle back and find out how the big summit on fair use and copyrights went in New York last week...do you think there will be some good content to share at Silverdocs?

Description: MS-Word document
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.
