Subject: [Videolib] supplemental materials

Good morning/afternoon everyone,
I am in a weeding phase for my media materialsI'm looking at guides, 
booklets, inserts and the like.  I know these items are sometimes interesting, 
often including essays or photos of the film, etc. but nobody ever checks them 
out!  Do you guys keep them forever, do you toss them when cataloging?  A 
couple of items actually come with hardcover books that can stand alone, and I 
would consider appropriate for our general collection, but many are small 
little pamphlet like items that sit around forever, unnoticed, untouched even 
though they are included prominently in the catalog record...

And, of course, then there are the small liner notes on CDs that don't fit 
inside the jewel case.not that anyone checks out our CDs anymore either

Anyone with a similar scenario?

Hello, all,

I am sad to report that as of August 19, I'm being laid off after 34 ½ years at 
the Aurora Public Library, due to declining revenues and elimination of my job. 
 I am one of 21 such cuts, 11 full time and 10 part time.  I hope to continue 
to follow this list while I'm unemployed, and when I find a new job.  I just 
want to say thank you to all of you.  I have learned so much from everyone on 
this list now, and in the past.  I tell everyone about my friends on this list, 
even though I may have met only a few of you in person when ALA happened to be 
in Chicago.  So, and here's a shameless plug, if anyone knows of any reference 
librarian openings in the western suburbs of Chicago. . . or a similar type of 
job in a non library setting - I'm your girl!

Subject: [Videolib] What is in a name?!

This is a shout out to all of you video/media/audiovisual librarians...  Could 
you please tell me what you call your library or area of the library or college?

The background is this - since the College's existence in 1964, we have been 
called the Audiovisual or AV Library.  I am the Audiovisual Librarian and we 
have an Audiovisual Administrative Assistant.  However, we have just had a 
renovation of the entire library, and the Audiovisual Library has been left off 
of the new signage - we are not in directories, and there are no individual 
signs.  No one knows where we are now that we have moved location!!

The reason seems to be that the administrators of the College think that 
Audiovisual is a dated term.  They would prefer something sexy, evidently, but 
they don't know what.  Actually, I think that the administration would be 
happiest if we went entirely to streaming!!  We in the library still have a 
number of video tapes, cds, and many dvds which are heavily used by faculty and 
students.  And we have viewing equipment.

One proposal is Media Services - tho that has a bad connotation here on campus, 
as that used to be the department creating media productions and delivering 
equipment on campus.  It had a poor reputation.  Multimedia Services is taken 
by our IT department.  I personally would like to keep Audiovisual Library but 
I don't think that our Library Director is going to go with that.  Could you 
please tell me what you are called, or if you have any ideas for sexy, 
forward-thinking titles?

Thanks so much!!

Re: [Videolib] Circulating Media Equipment

[Steven Matthew]

Anne,

We circulate calculators, camcorders, e-readers, laptops and a projector 
primarily from our Media Center.  After the Media Center closes, equipment is 
checked out from the Circulation Desk. 

Our Systems (IT) Dept. is responsible for upkeep and upgrades.  They choose 
replacements with input from Media Center staff.  We're able to meet the demand 
for use of our existing equipment but we have a short survey going to find out 
what students would like to have available for checkout.

See our survey here,

Hello,

I have a few questions for libraries that circulate mobile devices like iPads, 
cameras, camcorders, laptops, etc.:

What service point handles the device circulation? (main circ desk, media lab, 
other?) What department/individual manages the equipment?
Is that same department/person responsible for recommending models to purchase?
Do you have trouble keeping up with patron demand for these devices?

Thanks,

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls

It is with a mix of melancholy, ebullience, slight trepidation, and vast relief 
that I announce my forthcoming retirement from the University of California 
Berkeley and the Media Resources Center on June 28, 2012.
Today marks my 33rd anniversary with the University, and this year my 36th as a 
librarian (a fact which seems more than a little surreal to me).  
I’ve been director of the Media Center for about 28 of those years, and there 
hasn’t been week, good or bad, that has gone by without my murmuring a little 
thanks for the cosmic hiccups that allowed me to stumble into
such a cool and personally rewarding gig.   I simply cannot think of
anywhere that I would have been happier professionally, or another position in 
which I would have grown and learned and contributed as much.

In some sense, I feel a bit like Mark Twain, who was born during the fiery 
appearance of Halley’s Comet, and who went out with its reappearance, 74 years 
later.  I began my career in media in the early 80s, at the dawn of the home 
video age (or the “Video Revolution” as it was often hyperbolically called in 
the library literature at the time).  I’m bowing out of the business at a time 
when the technologies and economics of video production and distribution, and 
the video content universe itself are again in a state of radical flux.  Along 
with these changes, video collections and service in libraries are also bound 
to experience major tremors and evolutionary shifts.  I’m not sure whether I’m 
leaving the scene feeling sanguine or pessimistic about this future, but in any 
case it’s definitely going to be an interesting and challenging next decade.

I am going to miss all my long-time professional pals profoundly, both those on 
the library side and the distributor side of the fence.  I grew up with a 
number of you in this field, and along the way you’ve become a kind of extended 
workaday family, complete with the obstreperous get-togethers, occasional 
bickering, and comforting sympathy.  I’m also heartened by the number of young, 
creative, and energetic colleagues who have hopped on board in more recent 
times.  Definitely makes me less gloomy about prospects for the future.

Not sure exactly what I’m going to do next:  I’d like to continue teaching film 
somewhere on campus or off; I’m up for grabs as a consultant; want to write a 
bit; gotta catch up on all the national cinemas I’ve given short-shrift to over 
the years; want to log in more gym time; would like to hone my banjo and 
ukulele-playing chops; want to get back to freelance cartooning and 
illustration.  At very least, I’m aiming at becoming an accomplished and 
well-known Berkeley flâneur and café personality.

As for the fate of the UC Berkeley Media Resources Center…  In light of the 
dire economic straits into which UC has been shoved, it is almost completely 
unlikely that my position will be filled any time soon.  The future of the 
redoubtable MRC collection and website remains murky, at best.  I can’t really 
think about all of this too much; it’s just too damn depressing to ponder, and 
I’ve got other things on my mind. In other words, après moi, le deluge, and 
there’s not a damn thing I can do about it.

For the time being, Gisele Tanasse (MLIS), crack MRC Operations Czarina, will 
look after the shop.  She has also graciously agreed to keep an administrative 
eye on videolib and videonews.  (Note, however, that she’s going out on 
maternity leave from May until around the end of September, so you’re pretty 
much on your own during that hiatus.  Play nice!).  
Gisele’s email is gtana...@library.berkeley.edu.  I’ll be around and wrapping 
things up for the next few months.  My civilian email address after June is 
going to be garyhand...@gmail.com and I’m also on Facebook. 
I’d love to stay in touch (but please don’t contact me about anything having to 
do with copyright or fair use).

Best of luck for the future, comrades!  Continue fighting the good fight. 
It really has been an honor and a delight working with you all.
Salud!
