We have a Digital Media lab in our Media Resources Center. The media lab houses 11 editing stations (Mac Pros &/or G5s - with Final Cut) and a stand alone audio studio (w/ another Mac Pro & running logic & reason).
We loan out a wide range of camera equipment (HD cameras - Panasonic HMC-40s and Flips; DV tape cameras- Canon ZR700 & ZR800s; shotgun & lavaliere mics; light kits; and green screen) - as well as projectors, field recorders, iPads and Wiis. Our lab has been running for about 8 years and is extremely popular with students & faculty. Students and faculty tend to use the facilities and equipment for both their curricular work and personal creative projects. We also provide instruction sessions and tutorials on all of the editing software and equipment we offer in the lab. Our Media Lab Manager works closely with faculty to provide tailored instruction sessions to classes incorporating a video or media assignment. Many of those classes create PSAs, 2-5 minute narrative films and brief documentaries. In addition to creating music, folks use the audio studio for general voiceover; podcasts; interviews; creating voice tracks for media; and audio tours. Please email me off list if you'd like more information.

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.
