A question for the collective wise ones: Several times instructors with deaf students in their classes have contacted our disability services people, who then contact us, and request that media be captioned. Usually this is done for vhs tapes, but sometimes for dvds that don't have close captioning or subtitles. The disability office wonders if, once these materials are captioned and transferred to a dvd, the Library can catalog them as captioned, and keep them in the teaching collection. Faculty would be able to locate them through the catalog, and could use them in face to face teaching. What say you all? Maureen
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.
