Randal- We have a Digital Media Design Studio in our library.
Here is a link. http://www.lib.neu.edu/about_us/digital_media/ We are a Mac-based dept. and have small audio and video production studios, which get heavily used. We provide a walk-in service and collaborate with faculty and their classes to facilitate the creation of student curricular multimedia projects. We work with Library's development dept. to record and edit author talks which get placed on YouTube. We consult with faculty and staff who are creating pieces for their websites, and/or full-length videos. We work in concert with two other non-library faculty-focused media production facilities on campus. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Debra Debra H.

Either live recording facilities or editing/post production facilities. Could you please give me some idea of the kinds of projects you work on, what you interaction is with campus faculty and a general idea of the mission? We *do* have such a studio; it needs some upgrading but it is a nice facility. But we are reviewing it's overall purpose given recent directions in media making, and I'd like to get some comparative information from other colleagues about their sites. Even if some of you do not have a studio but have some opinions about the role of libraries in producing video/electronic media -- I'd like to get your input. Feel free to reply here if you think it is of group interest or reply to me off list and I can summarize later. Cheers, Randal Baier Eastern Michigan University
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.
