Hi everyone,
For the academic university crowd....
I'm curious as to how you notify or if you notify faculty who request that the
library purchase a video/dvd.
1. Do you notify the selector when the item has come in?
1a) Do you only notify the selector when it is a rush?
2. If you have Faculty library liaisons in each department, do you notify them
of new media in their subject area?
2a) if so, do you ask them to spread the word
2b) if not, do you notify the department at large by sending a
mass email t to all the profs?
3. Do you notify librarian subject selectors and ask them to forward on the
notification?
4. Do you rely solely on an online newsletter or monthly acquisitions list for
books and media in one?
5. Alternatives?
Thanks for any responses,
Rhonda

"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people
sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing
wild animals as librarians."

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.
