Hi, Yes, we do mean feature fiction films are not considered.
Thank You, Julia Churchill ALA Notable Videos for Adults Committee Chair Oak Lawn Public Library 9427 S. Raymond Ave. Oak Lawn, Il. 60453 (708)-422-4990 From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Jessica Rosner Sent: Monday, October 21, 2013 3:06 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: Re: [Videolib] Notables Julie by not considering "feature films" I assume you mean feature fiction films as opposed to feature length documentaries. Some times the term "feature film" can mean different things so just checking.

We are looking for some videos to consider for our final list. The criteria for nomination is as follows: Categories of videos that will not be considered are feature films and those videos directed at a very specific and highly specialized audience, such as clinical videos. High quality production values are understood as criteria for inclusion on the final list. The committee is looking for uniqueness of vision and execution in its selections. A title should meet at least one, and preferable more than one, of the following criteria to be included on the list: 1. The title addresses a new topic that has not been addressed in another program. 2. The title expands the viewers' knowledge of a particular subject. 3. The title clarifies or explains a difficult topic, making it understandable to a general audience. 4. The title promises to contribute significantly to the solution of a contemporary problem. 5. The title expands the boundaries of the video medium, or application of video in a new and unusual manner. If you are a librarian and not affiliated with a video producer or distributor, you can suggest titles for the committee's consideration. You need not be a VRT member to nominate titles. The nomination form is at http://www.ala.org/vrt/notablevideos/form If anyone belongs to another list serve that you think might be interested please feel free to share this.

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.
