Something very cool that just popped up on the AMIA listserv... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Casey, Michael T <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Sep 22, 2011 at 12:56 PM Subject: [AMIA-L] Media preservation report To: [email protected]
Indiana University Bloomington announces the release of a detailed report entitled "Meeting the Challenge of Media Preservation: Strategies and Solutions." This 128-page report is available for download at http://www.indiana.edu/~medpres/ "Meeting the Challenge" is the result of a year of research and planning by a campus-wide task force charged with addressing the problems identified in the earlier IU Bloomington media preservation survey report published in 2009. "Meeting the Challenge" explores a range of topics related to the preservation and conservation of audio, video, and film, including: guiding preservation principles, facility planning, prioritization, digitization methodologies, strategies for film, principles for access, technological infrastructure needs, and engagement with campus units and priorities. Although developed specifically for the Bloomington campus, the findings and analyses in "Meeting the Challenge" may be useful to universities and other organizations with media holdings. Further information and both reports are available on the IU Bloomington media preservation website at the url provided above. ---------- Mike Casey Director of Media Preservation Services Media Preservation Initiative Indiana University Bloomington (812)855-8090 -- Best regards, Dennis Doros Milestone Film & Video/Milliarium Zero PO Box 128 Harrington Park, NJ 07640 Phone: 201-767-3117 Fax: 201-767-3035 email: [email protected] www.milestonefilms.com www.comebackafrica.com www.yougottomove.com www.ontheboweryfilm.com www.arayafilm.com www.exilesfilm.com www.wordisoutmovie.com www.killerofsheep.com <http://www.killerofsheep.com> AMIA Austin 2011: www.amianet.org Join "Milestone Film" on Facebook!

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.
