ALA's ALCTS Acquisitions Section Publications Committee is planning a new publication, Guide to Streaming Video Acquisitions in Libraries, a successor to a previous ALA publication, Guide to Video Acquisitions in Libraries, and we would like to invite you to submit chapter proposals. Project Description: Guide to Streaming Video Acquisitions in Libraries will provide an overview of the various aspects involved in selecting, acquiring, and making streaming video available to our patrons. More specifically, it will examine various business models and their impact on collection development, licensing and accessibility considerations, methods for improving discoverability, and workflows for tying it all together. Intended Market: While primarily intended for library administrators, collection development and acquisitions librarians who are new to format, this guide should cover areas that will benefit even those experienced with streaming video. Potential Topics: * Pedagogy * Licensing * Discovery * Usage Analysis * Workflows * Accessibility * Future of the medium Have another idea for a topic? We'd love to hear about it. We encourage you to contact the Committee Chair at ehartn...@library.tamu.edu<mailto:ehartn...@library.tamu.edu> to discuss how your idea may fit within this book's scope. Please get your ideas in by November 4, 2016. Sincerely, Eric Hartnett Eric Hartnett Interim Director of Electronic Resources Texas A&M University Libraries (979) 845.0797
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.
