Re: [Videolib] Video Selection: Subject Selector or Media Specialist?

[Jeanne Little]

At our library we have librarians who are also subject bibliographers, and they are responsible for selecting materials in their subject areas. They also serve as liaisons to the departments on campus and work with the faculty to acquire items needed for their research and for their students use in their studies.
