Best Docs selection--currently free

Hi all,

I am wrapping up Video Librarian’s Best Docs list for our Jan/Feb issue and I 
just noticed that one of the selected docs—“(Dis)Honesty: The Truth About 
Lies”—is currently being offered for free through Ro*co Educational, courtesy 
of the John Templeton Foundation 
(http://www.rocoeducational.com/_dis_honesty#!/~/). This is a really excellent 
doc that could not be more timely.

Best,

Randy

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.

Hi-

This article in  The Journal of Copyright in Education and Librarianship was

Conf. Call 12/13 or 12/16?


Hi All,

Meredith Miller and I are hoping to host a conference call next week (either 
Tuesday 12/13 or Friday 12/16) for those interested in participating in a 
discussion about how we can best move forward on the issue of educational 
availability advocacy for media librarians & vendors.  If you would like to 
participate, please visit this link and indicate your availability (times are 
ET):

http://doodle.com/poll/nfr6q7dppcvndfrt
If you are hoping to attend, please indicate your availability by 4pm ET this 
Friday, 12/9.  We'll choose the date / time with the greatest availability for 
interested participants.  Make note of call-in instructions on the site.

Please note: we plan to do our best to keep the meeting to 1 hour.

Thank you,

the first hurdle, so crafting some kind of statement in this area with a goal 
towards publicizing it seems like a good place to start.

I agree that a conference call could be useful to begin the process, and would 
be available for one next week or the week after, in case it takes some time to 
pull together.  Meredith, are you able to facilitate?  I could help with the 
scheduling by putting together a Doodle poll that folks could use to indicate 
interest and availability; just let me know.

An interesting idea from Elizabeth at Bullfrog Films is that we could provide 
examples of several of the companies who regularly work with educational rights 
(as Mat described) who could serve as models / references for the process in 
the case of those film and / or music producers who are simply unaware and 
don't know where to start.

Re: [Videolib] Now Showing @ ALA Film Program - ALA Midwinter in Atlanta

[Wochna, Lorraine]

All,
Darn, I feel like we should (VRT) screen something!
Wondering if screening “Here Come the Videofreex” would be useful, even though 
we are screening it at ALA Chicago.
I believe Phil H is getting that set up for Chicago.
It would bring more attention to our Gala event.
Or not.
Thanks,
lorraine

Thanks Meghann.
