Moscone Convention Center - 2016 (W) The Audiovisual and Multimedia Section (AVMS) of the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) has been active in the Coordinating Council on Audiovisual Archive Associations (CCAAA) since well before 1999, when the UNESCO-organized NGO Round Table on Audiovisual Records became CCAAA. IFLA AVMS had been a founding member of the NGO Round Table on Audiovisual Records (now CCAAA) in 1981. This longstanding and important relationship has spanned over 50 years with the various organizational incarnations. This program will explore longstanding partnerships, programming and leadership activities of the AVMS, an international partner of the ALA VRT.

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.
