I wonder if anyone out there has some ideas about how filmmakers and
distributors can better use technology to distribute interesting content to
colleges? Of course streaming and downloading have changed the delivery
mechanism, but I'm thinking about more out of the
box ideas involving distribution of "learning modules" and other content
derived from feature length films, or even modules created separately
from the
feature content. I know that FMG and Alexander Street offer some of
this content. Does anyone have have thoughts on what works best
now and what they would like to see in the future?
Thanks,

HI Gary. Hope you're well. I tried sending the below brilliant
note to videolib,
but it seems to have gotten stuck somewhere along the way. I'm
reluctant to
send it again to avoid the embarrassment of double posting. Would
appreciate
any help. I'm off shooting a new documentary in the West Bank

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.
