The reporting line is likewise unorthodox here. I report to the director of the Physical Sciences and Engineering unit because our primary learning commons space (which includes the film/video collection) is in the Science and Engineering library. My director reports to the AUL for Academic Programs Division who reports to the Director of the Library.
Being the head of the Media Services program in a media specialist role, this model works well. I am ultimately judged by many on my ability to develop our media program service portfolio (resources, production, media literacy) and demonstrate its impact on teaching and learning (and soon possibly digital arts and humanities research as well). -Scott Send videolib mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > > https://calmail.berkeley.edu/manage/list/listinfo/[email protected] > > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of videolib digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

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.
