[Videolib] Video about Notre Dame de Paris cathedral?

[Hannah Lee]

Posting this question on behalf of Scott Cohen. Please respond directly to
him at sco...@jscc.edu:

Can anyone suggest a good streaming video, DVD or videocassette which would
discuss the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris?  A faculty member would like to
show one in class and I can't find one specifically on the Notre Dame
cathedral itself.  I have tried Films on Demand, Library Video Company, our
Discovery Film subscription, PBS, etc.

Thanks

[Videolib] Fwd: It's Here! The First Ever NMC Horizon Report for Libraries

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Samantha Becker
 512.445.4200 | communicati...@nmc.org


* NMC Releases the  NMC Horizon Report > 2014 Library Edition *


   Lyon, France (August 20) -- Today the New Media Consortium (NMC) in
collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences (HTW) Chur, the
German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB), Hannover, and
ETH-Bibliothek Zurich are releasing the *NMC Horizon Report > 2014 Library
Edition
*
at a special session of the International Federation of Library
Associations and Institutions (IFLA) World Library and Information Congress
80th General Conference and Assembly. This is the first edition of the *NMC
Horizon Report* that delves into the realm of academic and research
libraries in a global context.





The report describes findings from the NMC Horizon Project, an ongoing
research project designed to identify and describe emerging technologies
likely to have an impact on teaching, learning, and creative inquiry. Six
key trends, six significant challenges, and six emerging technologies are
identified across three adoption horizons over the next one to five years,
giving library leaders and staff a valuable guide for strategic technology
planning. The format of the report was designed to provide these leaders
with more in-depth insight into how the trends and challenges are
accelerating and impeding the adoption of technology, along with their
implications for policy, leadership, and practice.



"Education professionals across the world have used the higher education
editions of the *NMC Horizon Report* for years as a springboard for
discussion around important trends and challenges," says Larry Johnson,
Chief Executive Officer of the NMC and co-principal investigator for the
project. "Finally we have been able to produce a report aimed directly at
the needs of academic and research libraries - and what we have found is
that academic and research libraries are leveraging new technology in some
very important and creative ways."



*Key Trends Accelerating Technology Adoption for Academic and Research
Libraries*

The *NMC Horizon Report > 2014 Library Edition *identifies "Increasing
Focus on Research Data Management for Publications" and "Prioritization of
Mobile Content and Delivery" as fast trends driving changes in academic and
research libraries over the next one to two years. The "Evolving Nature of
the Scholarly Record" and "Increasing Accessibility of Research Content"
are mid-range trends expected to accelerate technology use in the next
three to five years; and "Continual Progress in Technology, Standards, and
Infrastructure" and the "Rise of New Forms of Multidisciplinary Research"

Re: [Videolib] Streaming within a password protected course management system

[Hannah Lee]

Hi Gary-- I'd like to think that the brief reflects legal realities, at
least in an ideal world. The copyright landscape is becoming increasingly
oppressive, and the whole point of copyright is losing its original
purpose-- which was to make works more accessible. It seems as if copyright
is now framed in monetary terms, which isn't how the argument should be
framed.

These are the people who drafted the brief-- Jonathan Band, Brandon Butler,
Kenneth Crews, and Peter Jaszi. According to the brief, "Jonathan Band is
legal counsel for LCA. Brandon Butler is the Law and Policy Fellow at the
Association of Research Libraries. Kenneth Crews is Director of the
Copyright Advisory Office at Columbia University. Peter Jaszi is Faculty
Director of the Glushko-Samuelson Intellectual Property Clinic at the
Washington College of Law at American University." Perhaps media librarians
should do some advocating if they'd like a voice in these matters.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming within a password protected course management system

[Hannah Lee]

Hello--the Library Copyright Alliance (which is affiliated with ALA,
ACRL, and ARL) has issued a brief that goes over the issue of
streaming an entire film in a remote non-classroom location. Here's
the link to the eight page brief:
http://www.librarycopyrightalliance.org/bm~doc/ibstreamingfilms_021810.pdf

In short, they state that the "three provisions of the Copyright Act
... could permit streaming of this sort: Sections 107, 110(2), and
110(1). While all three provisions may apply, Section 107 fair use is
perhaps the strongest justification."

[Videolib] Good resources for video/audio production?

[Hannah Lee]

Hello again,

I'm also in the process of compiling helpful links to video and audio
production resources. All of the computers in our lab (we have about
80) have video and audio editing software, and I'd like to include
links to resources on each phase of the multimedia design process--
from pre production, production, post production, to publishing. If
you happen to know of any good resources, please send them along. I'll
compile and post the list of helpful resources to the listserv.

Thanks in advance,

Hannah Lee

relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and

working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.

[Videolib] Thinking of doing observational study

[Hannah Lee]

Hello-- we are thinking of doing an observational study to see how
students use the equipment and space in the Student Multimedia Design
Center at the University of Delaware Library. We were planning on
having our student workers walk around to observe and take notes at
random points during a span of about a week, guided by an
observational questionnaire that they would fill out. I was
thinking of having them note the time of day and date, do a brief head
count, note how many students were working in groups, what kind of
software and equipment they were using, etc. Have any of you done this
kind of observational study before? If so, would you be willing to
share any suggestions or comments, as well as examples?

Many thanks in advance,

Hannah Lee

Ha! It says in the description of the video that the weekend staff

Re: [Videolib] campus support for VHS

[Hannah Lee]

I sympathize with Beth, because it's the exact situation that we're
going through right now. I'm very new to the library, and apparently
there's a long history with the weeding of our VHS collection. The IT
department made the decision not to service VHS players, and they were
also under the mistaken impression that they could just make DVD
copies of all of the VHS tapes we own. For the past couple of years,
we've been slowly examining the VHS tapes we own (about 3,000) and
finding suitable DVD or streaming media replacements. The process has
been good in some ways, in the sense that we're updating our
collection (some of the VHS tapes are 30 years old) with newer and
more relevant content. Because some of the faculty members raised a
lot of fuss about the library withdrawing these films, we've allowed
them to come to the library and take any withdrawn VHS to add to their
own personal collections. This way they can still show the VHS tapes
if they want. The rest, we plan on selling at the book sale that's
coming up.

Thanks,
Hannah Lee

[Videolib] recommended titles for language/linguistics

[Hannah Lee]

Hello-- I'm new to the listserv, and I've been tasked with weeding our VHS
collection (I work at a medium sized community college in a Chicago suburb).
Our IT department will no longer service VHS players, so we're slowly
sifting through the 3,000 VHS tapes in our collection, finding DVD or
streaming media replacements. I was wondering if any of you could recommend
suitable replacements for *The Nature of language : the linguistic
perspective* and *Second language acquisition: A new look at authentic
materials*. If you've come across good educational films about language in
general and could offer suggestions as well, I'd appreciate it.

Also, are there any good collection development tools that you use to find
reviews on educational films?

Thanks,
