And, I endorse Barb's suggestion of at least once attending NMM and participating with ALA VRT, ALA ACRL ARTS, CCUMC, OLAC, or another media focused group. You will meet many of these authors or presentors, who are always willing to help you if you reach out to them individually.

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.
