Dear VideoLib, After 33 years as staff at San Francisco State University and 15 wonderful years as a media librarian, I will retire on December 30, 2012. Listening in on and occasionally contributing to the discussions, arguments and general enlightenment that is VideoLib has been great, but as of the end of December my San Francisco State University e-mail address disappears.
I, however, will not. Current plans are to explore California and the world through Geocaching (http://www.geocaching.com/). In time I will move to Missouri, where I grew up, where the cost of living is lower and where government-issued pensions like mine are not taxed. When the snow starts to fly I will board a plane to New Zealand for a second summer every year. Life is good. Wishing you all the best. Brigid Duffy Academic Technology San Francisco State University San Francisco, CA 94132-4200 E-mail: [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.
