Eric Johnson's team at VCU's workshop help us celebrate in may ways, but
the most fun uses green screen set-up.  We then post images on the
library's Flickr.

Halloween, door cutting ribbon, bike races through the stacks, etc.  I am
sure you can come up with some good props and background images for a
birthday.

We have also been bringing in the character our the author for whom the
library was named.  Rick Provine had some great outreach events on a
similar vein at DePauw.

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.
