Greetings VRT-ers: Well, not really a "VS" but a concurrence.
Just wanted to let you folks know who are trying to do both at DC that the SilverDocs schedule is slowly being revealed. Each year there is a theme that precedes and follows the Guggenheim honoree. We can finally tell you that this years honoree is Frederick Wiseman. He and his films will be present at both the Festival and Conference. Those of you who are trying out the educator pass for Friday or are around Saturday night may have access to an event or two with him. I'm trying to see if one or a combination of vouchers can get you into the big Guggenheim event too. Stay tuned... http://silverdocs.com/news-links/2010/05/06/frederick-wiseman-named-guggenheim-honoree/ Also: if some of you were thinking of the educator pass, but couldn't decide or were sold out, there are a few back, however at $150 price now. Still, if you missed out on an ALA preconference but still have at least Friday free, its well worth it, and cheaper then most preconferences. https://secure2.convio.net/afi/site/Ecommerce/1989794434?VIEW_PRODUCT=true&product_id=1481&store_id=1301 As usual, any questions feel free to contact me directly. And it is possible to be two places at the same time. Carleton -- Carleton L. Jackson Librarian, Nonprint Media Services Library University of Maryland Libraries 0300 R.

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.
