[Videolib] Gently used Gemtracs media shelves
**Please pardon cross-postings** Anyone in need of some Gemtracs audio/video storage shelving? A friend of mine from Towers Productions (http://www.towersproductions.com/), a Chicago area production house, is renovating their tape library and transferring a lot of content. They are selling their gently used and "in great condition" shelves, and they need to get them out by January 31, 2011. Here are the details: * "walk-in" type storage * Gemtrac shelves: http://www.russbassett.com/gemtrac/gav-4mm.htm * 7 units configured for small beta tapes, 4" deep (holds over 3,500 tapes each) * 1 unit for large beta tapes, 7" deep (holds over 1,500 tapes) * $15K-$20K brand new * Asking Price: $6K each or best offer, especially if you take them all * Buyer handles moving * Ideally by January 31 but they can hold onto them for up to 60 days If I had the budget and space, I would totally grab them, but alas. Perhaps someone else out there would like these lovely shelves? If interested or if you want some photos, please contact me. Thanks!! Laura ~~~~~~ AnswersMedia Laura Fu Video Assets Manager 400 W.

The issue is that the CDs are a little awkward to use and require a lot of searching. I have found that the BBC collection is available on a hard drive. The question is are there any libraries who purchase sound effect libraries on hard drives or web based and then circulate/provide access to these to students? I have found many example of media centers or digital centers at universities that make sound effects collections available but not too many examples of libraries that are circulating sound effects or stock video collections on a hard drive. My guess is that there are licensing issues involved. Is anyone doing this? Does anyone know of a sound effects or stock video/image collection that is online that is subscription based and allows multiple user access?

[Videolib] Construction Resumes at the New Museum of Broadcast Communications
**Pardon cross-postings** I'm surprised I haven't seen any postings on this yet. I am happy to share the news that construction on the Museum of Broadcast Communications is finally back underway! I have seen designs and layouts for planned exhibits and taken tours of the space, and this place is going to be stellar. The location is great and the collection really deserves the beautiful space they are building. I highly recommend visiting once it is finally open. Their collection is astonishing. They have Bozo's buckets! Construction had been on hold for several years due to lack of funding. You may have passed by the shell of a building at State and Kinzie. Please visit the museum's website and read an article about the construction below. And don't forget, the Radio Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is this Saturday. Tickets are still available.

Over 240,000 visitors from across the country are projected for the first year of operation. The new MBC will also be a model of energy-efficiency, built to a Gold LEED environmental standard-the first such Museum in Illinois. The "green" building is designed and will be equipped to maximize energy efficiency, to minimize waste and pollution, to reduce the consumption of resources, and to enhance indoor environmental quality. The United States Green Building Council will review and commission the building upon completion.

Independent Media Arts Preservation (IMAP) Presents a Workshop on Videotape Preservation Friday, October 15, 2010 1 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. at Film Studies Center, University of Chicago When videotape was introduced in 1956, the magnetic recording of a TV signal was a technological marvel. More than five decades (and 60 analog and digital formats) later, videotapes have recorded historic events, served as a means of artistic expression, and become priceless personal documents. Unfortunately, videotape has proven to be an unstable medium, and its recorded images will eventually require careful attention and well-planned action in order to survive. This half-day workshop will serve as an introduction to the issues and strategies necessary to tackle the challenges of videotape preservation. Designed to meet the needs of those with or without technical experience in video production, this workshop is geared to media makers and arts professionals, archivists, conservators, artists and other caretakers of media collections. The workshop will cover videotape's development and evolution, the basics of magnetic recording technology, formats, mitigation of deterioration, risk assessment, handling and inspection, preservation planning, best practices for storage, reformatting, and digitization. Presenter: Jeff Martin is a graduate of New York University's MA program in Moving Image Preservation and has been working with archival moving images for more than a decade as a television producer, researcher, and archivist. He has taught workshops in media preservation in Chicago under the auspices of Midwest Media Archives Alliance and at the International Center for Photography, New York. He developed the content for IMAP's online preservation resource guide (http://www.eai.org/resourceguide/preservation). He is presently a Fellow at the Smithsonian Institution's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, assessing their media collections.

Re: [Videolib] Appeal to producers and distributers on captioning
All We don't really do any educational productions, although I'm sure that if anyone ever needed anything from our original programming, we could get it. (We produce mainly Health and Food content) We have the capabilities to CC, but it's not always requested. It also depends the format and production type. We often do subtitles though, especially with all the Spanish content we're producing. We have English with Spanish subtitles and vice versa. I would think that production for educational and academic purposes would automatically encode for CC. Perhaps it's just too cumbersome? I know that from my work in local and national news, often our packages and live shots would air without CC simply because the producer didn't want to type verbatim their pkg that was edited in the field and sent back via the live truck. It was extra work and too tight to make broadcast. I would always fill in the CC when I saw blanks. It's unfortunate to know that non-news productions lack CC as well.

We have always captioned our media but the audio description as well as the creation of captioning/audio description files for our Digital Media Files is new to us. I'd ask buyers of media to consider that as distributors we are now providing programs in DVD with captions that are Subtitled Enabled and audio description, Broadcast formats with Closed Captions and audio description, and Digital Media Files that are full play and chaptered in several encoding formats with captioning and audio description files. Never in the history of visual media have we provided programming in so many formats with so many enhancements. We also provide PDF Teaching Guide, Image Banks, and Posters plus Interactive Learning Guides, curriculum correlations by state (K-12), and Metadata for the full programs as well as the chaptered programs. We are looking for a partner to create Spanish translations of our media for inclusion in all formats. Plus we are providing websites that have massive amounts of free content as well as catalogs with previews, PDF Teaching Guides and Posters, and curriculum correlations. Plus we are making IP Authentication seamless linking our site to password protected websites of clients that license our content that provides the client with user stats. Additionally, we continue to send out a catalog. Our production includes the top microscopes available to scientists and digital cameras which now includes HD. Our animator of processes unseen under the microscope or to enhance the illustration of a complex scientific process must update computers and software on a regular basis as well as the editors. Copyrights must be registered for each program. We are continuing to produce new programs. As we update our biology collection, those licensees receive the new program for the remaining life of the license. Our pricing is from 1999 with our Digital Media File licensing based upon student enrollment so an institution with 1,500 students can afford the same content as an institution 250,000. DVDs run $45 - 128 for single titles and $99.95 - 400.00 for series on one disc. During this time of extreme budget cuts we are working with each client as we believe that these students need to have the science content we offer. After all these students will be taking care of us! Re-reading this it sounds like I've climbed on a soapbox but it is the reality I face every day as a distributor that represents independent producers. The Emerging Technologies grant has been extremely helpful to us meet the needs of all students as captioning is a valuable learning enhancement f
Re: [Videolib] audio transcription software
Debbie and fellow videolibbers, I have never used any software. My former employer, Video Monitoring Services, had a proprietary STT (speech to text) software that was pretty top notch. But it still isn't as good as the human mind. It couldn't always catch everything, like foreign languages, proper nouns or slang. So I recommend hiring out. We do our own transcribing in house. I've done my fair share. I would check with local production companies or freelancers, who usually have better rates. I think that using a software for that type of service will result in errors that ultimately have to be checked by a human later anyways. That's my two cents. Hope it helps!

Re: [Videolib] Free tapes to a better home!!
I thought it best to respond to everyone who received this question. And thank you for posing it! I'm sorry I didn't provide that background information. It pains me to toss some of these things, but it's happened before. When I heard that my former employer of 4 years actually threw away my tape library after the operation shut down, I was heartbroken! Thankfully a co-worker was able to salvage some things. In this instance, I just don't have the legal rights to re-use. Almost everything up for grabs comes from client projects. Once we've edited or produced it, the client has final say on elements. Elements may include raw b-roll of a long forgotten meeting, graphic reels and meltdowns or clones of masters. Original programming is all kept, and ALL masters are saved, client and in-house, for every project we've done. I added a note to the page if you'd like further details.

Dear All, I applaud Laura for trying to recycle these materials, but I am perplexed: "old and obsolete materials? new assets?" = an interesting twist when materiality is privileged. Surely the archival question is, "What is being destroyed when these materials are wiped clean for re-use?" This we are not told. Imagine the "visual assets manager" for Corbis selling glass or silver? Laura - is it fair to ask what is the fate of the content? Before leaping to accept your generous offer, I think archivists and others would like to know whether historical footage is -- or should be -- preseved or whether the materials on offer are more than "assets" in the material sense. Laura is surely not the only one in this (uncomfortable) position and probably there are others who are not trying as hard to recycle, BUT the larger question in the space-strapped, short-on-staff digital age is, what is happening to the archival record? And what is the "future" of the "past" when "space" - physical or digital - is not allocated for archival preservation. Thanks Laura for raising this issue and, of course, for making the materials known and available.

Re: [Videolib] VHS cases
Gail and fellow video librarians, You may want to try donating them. Check local schools and artist. I was able to donate several old films and canisters to area students and artists. Or check other organizations to see if someone needs them. I had a tremendous response for obsolete formats and cases from the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA). I have been talking to Intercon Solutions (http://www.interconrecycling.com/) just south of Chicago. We're planning a huge dump of obsolete formats in the near future. And they said they'll take the cases too! I haven't actually done so jet, but Jory, one of their reps, has been very diligent and helpful.

[Videolib] Used tapes and DVD cases for sale
**Apologies for cross-posting** Feel free to repost or share as you see fit. I am again trying to get rid of tapes and DVD cases. All previous inquiries never came through. I’ve put together a really basic information page on an old blog site I created for my graduate school class last semester. Please disregard other content on the blog. It was a fictitious dream library I created for my collection management class. The photos of the fake WLFU library are of my actual library though. You will find images and information about the tapes for sale here: http://wlfu.wordpress.com/used-tapes-for-sale/ Thank you! Used tapes for sale Thank you for looking. My name is Laura Fu, and I am the Video Assets Manager at AnswersMedia in Chicago. Please disregard all other content on this blog; I created it for my graduate class last semester, and it’s the only place I know where I can openly post this information. As the sole member of our library, I have the task of cataloging 15+ years of old materials. In the process, I’ve identified many items we no longer need. I’d like to get them recycled - anything but the dumpster - but without a budget or staff, I have no means of financing the recycling. All proceeds will fund my recycling project, and I also aim to support other organizations by providing low-cost tapes. Used tapes for sale: * D1 and D2 * Beta Cam SP * Used 1″ Reels and cases * Some metal film canisters * Digi Beta * VHS, DAT, Audio Cassette Tapes, DVD/Data Discs Most non-reusable formats will be recycled. If you are interested in anything for historic purposes or for a prop etc, you’re welcome to them. A Non-Disclosure form must be signed to receive films. You are responsible for shipping or pick-up in Chicago. Serious inquiries only please. I cannot hold items unless there is payment. We have several used film strips. I am not familiar with film formats, so I cannot answer specific questions. These appear to be large film reels, all used/exposed. Some have metal canisters. Some canisters are empty. You may take whatever you’d like, but please note that you MAY NOT re-use any footage found on any of these formats. A signed NDA is necessary, and I will provide when applicable. We are changing the style of our DVD cases and are therefore clearing out other styles. They are mostly the square with rounded edges. All are plastic, snap-shut. Other styles include round, square, and round with one flat edge. For the DVDs, I’m asking $0.25 each OBO for the entire lot. I’ll take any offers for the tapes/films/canisters.

[Videolib] DVD cases
Good afternoon, and my apologies for any cross posting. We're using new cases for our DVDs, so I've got a whole bunch of varying other DVD case styles we're trying to get rid of.

Some are square. I probably have almost 200 cases so far, and I'll probably find more as we clear through some files. I'd appreciate any monetary donation for some or the whole lot. All donations will go towards a large recycling project (http://www.interconrecycling.com/) I'm trying to fund.
