Welcome Kimberley to the brave new world. I'd start with Gary Handman's article in the latest issue of Library Trends:
License to Look: Evolving Models for Library Video Acquisition and Access Volume 58, Number 3, Winter 2010 Pp 324-358 E-ISSN: 1559-0682 Print ISSN: 0024-2594 DOI: 10.1353/lib.0.0094 I also encourage you to attend the National Media Market this October, where you can meet with numerous distributors and other librarians who engage in acquiring video. Conveniently for you, the NMM is in your backyard this year: Kansas City, MO. More information here: http://www.nmm.net Hope this helps. -- deg farrelly, Full Librarian Arizona State University PO Box 37100 Phoenix, Arizona 85069-7100 Phone: 602.543.8522 Email: [email protected] Hope this helps. ********** Date: Fri, 7 May 2010 11:19:29 -0500 From: "Linkous, Kimberly A." <[email protected]> Subject: [Videolib] Streaming Video Hello - Recently my acquisitions duties have expanded to include handling requests for digital media/streaming video. Does anyone have any recommendations for good resources to educate myself about issues pertaining to these products and keep abreast of new information? Thanks so much for any help you can give. Kimberly Linkous 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.
