In addition to what everyone else has said as to why the NMM is worth attending, I'll add that it is worlds away from the hectic ALA convention hall experience. The NMM is very cozy, all within a single hotel. You literally sit down with the exhibitors in the suites and talk about your needs and which of their products might of use. You can preview as much or as little as you want of all the films.
Hope to see you this October. Barb Bergman | Media Services & Interlibrary Loan Librarian | Minnesota State University, Mankato | (507) 389-5945 | [email protected]
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.
