Greetings VRT members, We
are excited to announce our program for
the 2012 ALA conference, Ubiquitous
Video: Can libraries offer it? (or Can libraries adapt?) In order to make this program a success we need your help recruiting panel members. This program will feature three panelists; a faculty member, librarian, and vendor who have experience implementing streaming media in higher education. Do you know of a faculty member who is embracing streaming technology in their classroom? Do you know of a librarian that is a champion for streaming media? Is there an innovative vendor that would be particularly intriguing to bring onto this panel? Please send in your thoughts and recommendations for future panelists. When submitting your recommendations please include the nominee’s name, institution, email, why you think they would be a good panel member, and if they are a faculty member, librarian, or content provider. Thanks in advance for your help!
-- Title: Ubiquitous Video: Can libraries offer it? (or Can libraries adapt?) Is your library embracing the demand for streaming video content? Video is becoming a ubiquitous medium, and educators are demanding more content and easier access. Hear from a librarian, a faculty member, and a content developer as they discuss the changing demands for multimedia access and delivery; how libraries can adapt collection development strategies and access methods to meet these needs; and how video collections are conceptualized to meet the needs of their academic markets. Learning Outcomes: · Understand the demands for multimedia delivery in order to support teaching and learning on campus. [classroom faculty member will speak on] · Consider issues with collecting, storing and accessing streaming video in order to deliver multimedia content faster and with greater access. [librarian will speak on] · Learn how vendors are developing, marketing, and licensing their video content in order to know the content and delivery options available on the market. [vendor(s) will speak on]

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.
