Greetings! The Video Round Table (VRT) will be sponsoring two panel discussions this June at ALA Annual in Las Vegas: Video Librarianship 101 (Academic Librarians) and Video Librarianship (Public Librarians.) We are particularly in need of A/V public librarians who could speak on any one of the four following areas:
* Collection development * Streaming * DVD security issues * Programming The program has been scheduled for Sunday morning, June 29th, beginning at 8:30 and lasting until 10:00. Each speaker would be asked give a 10-12 minute presentation, allowing for questions at the end. It promises to be a lively, informative program. Please volunteer if you can! Please let me know by no later than Friday, February 28th. Either email me directly or give me a phone call at one of the two numbers listed below. A fuller description of our program can be found below. Best, Elizabeth Elizabeth B.

Or are you a librarian who suddenly finds yourself in some way having to deal with video issues? Not sure you what you are doing? Not sure what you should be doing? Panic no more! This program is designed specifically to help you learn the basics of video librarianship. Our panel of speakers will be taking on such topics as building the best video collection for your community; streaming; DVD security issues; and putting on that film series that will absolutely wow your community. There will be time available for questions, discussion, and the sharing of success stories. Elizabeth B.

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.
