[Videolib] Notables Still Wants Your Nominees

[McKenzie, Michele]

Greetings Media Librarians,

Have you seen an exceptional recent nonfiction DVD release that you'd like to 
share?  If so, please let us know!

The deadline for submission of nominees for the 2015 ALA Notable Videos for 
Adults list is December 1st, 2014.

Each year a committee comprised of VRT members selects the best fifteen 
nonfiction, educational, performance or how-to titles released during the 
previous and current calendar years. The committee makes its selections during 
the ALA Midwinter Meeting and the list is published in Booklist.
If you are a librarian and not affiliated with a video producer or distributor, 
you can suggest titles for the committee's consideration.

We want your suggestions! You don't have to be a VRT or Notables committee 
member to nominate titles.

Nomination does not indicate endorsement by the Committee.

If you would like to recommend a video, please read the criteria and selection 
procedures first, 
then fill out the suggestion form.
Thanks in advance for your participation.

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.

[Videolib] Call for three volunteers - VRT Notable Videos for Adults Committee

[McKenzie, Michele]

Greetings Media Librarians,


American Library Association's Notable Videos for Adults Committee has three 
vacancies to fill this year. If you love watching and sharing interesting films 
for adults this is the committee for you.



We aim for a balanced mix of librarians from academic, public and special 
libraries that work with media and serve adult populations. We are now looking 
for three librarians one from an academic, and two from either a special, or 
public library to balance out the team. This is an opportunity to serve on a 
rewarding and enjoyable professional committee at the national level.  Members 
of the committee must be members of the American Library Association (ALA) and 
the Video Round Table (VRT).  Please note that representatives or employees of 
video producers or distributors are not eligible to serve.  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 ALA and the Video Round Table (VRT),



*  Attend ALA Midwinter for two consecutive years (Chicago and Boston),



*  View, evaluate and mail a substantial amount of videos leading up to ALA 
Midwinter.  Last year, over 40 titles were nominated.



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



http://www.ala.org/vrt/notablevideos



Please be aware that attendance at ALA Midwinter for two consecutive years is 
absolutely mandatory and that members must screen all nominated films.  
Screeners are provided but they must be returned promptly to be available to 
all members.



If you are interested in serving as a member, please respond directly to me by 
April 21, 2014.  A decision on Notable Committee invitations will be made 
shortly thereafter in consultation with the Chair of the Video Round Table.  
Please indicate your membership status with ALA and VRT, your ability to commit 
to attending ALA Midwinter, and include additional information regarding your 
experience with videos (i.e., selection, collection development, reviewing, 
etc.).  Please also indicate if you've previously served on this committee, as 
priority consideration will be given to newly recruited members.

Hi Gary,

We just purchased "Prince of Broadway" directed by Sean Baker from Midwest 
Tape.  The DVD release is retitled "Lee Daniels Presents - Prince of Broadway". 
  I highly recommend it.
