Hi, We have a subscription for Film Movement. I really like it because it gets me a collection of films I might not see reviews of otherwise. However, as far as programming goes. I have tried many times to have a film series program at our main library, with absolutely no luck. A combination of having to pay for parking, crappy seats, plus general disinterest killed it. We even had a group of film fans who wanted to do their film program here - and wouldn't look at the Film Movement titles at all, and those were exactly the kinds of movies they wanted to see - art films, independents, foreign titles, not the big blockbuster titles. So, maybe - real big maybe - if we ever get a new Main Library, we'll try again.

I have a part-time assistant who handles media desk operations and manages our student staff. I have tried unsuccessfully to have his position made full-time. He's been here for two years, and I would at least like him to get a salary increase. Would any other academic media librarian folks like to share with me what the pay rate for comparable positions at other schools? This information would help me to ask for an appropriate increase. This can be off-list, of course. 2. Would anyone be willing to share their experiences with Film Movement? It sounds like a great way for the Library to do some media programming. I'd like to hear from someone who has tried-pros and cons, if any. Thanks, everyone!

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.
