Hello Librarians,

The Notable Videos for Adults Committee has one vacancy to fill this year.  We 
aim for a balanced mix of librarians from academic, public, and special 
libraries who work with media and serve adult populations.  This year, we are 
looking for one librarian from a public or special library to balance out the 
committee.  This is an opportunity to serve on a rewarding and enjoyable 
professional committee at the national level.  Representatives or employees of 
video producers or distributors are ineligible.

Each member will serve a term of two years, with a maximum number of 
consecutive terms not to exceed two, for a total of four years of service.

All committee members are required to:


  *   Be members of the American Library Association (ALA) and the Video Round 
Table (VRT),


  *   Attend ALA Midwinter for two consecutive years (Boston in January 2016 
and Atlanta in January 2017),


  *   View and evaluate a substantial number of videos leading up to ALA 
Midwinter (last year, 64 titles were screened).

For complete information about the committee please visit our web page:

If you are interested in volunteering for the committee, please respond 
directly to me by April 10, 2015.  Indicate your membership status with ALA and 
VRT, your ability to commit to attending ALA Midwinter, and include information 
regarding your experience with videos (e.g., collection development, reviewing, 
viewer's advisory, etc.).  Please contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Wendy Highby

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.
