Re: [Videolib] Who do you report to?

2011-10-30 Thread Bahr, Philip
Head of Reference Services is my direct supervisor.  I also interact with the 
Collection Development Librarian, although I have the final and usually only 
say on all Media orders.  No one else has much time to have an opinion.  One of 
the Acquisitions paraprofessional full-time workers doesn't report to me, but 
does all my ordering.  I also interact with cataloging quite a bit for faculty 
orders.  It seems to work well.

I have the final say in selecting and purchasing multimedia materials, but my 
chain of command is to report to the Head of the Reference Department, and 
indirectly to the Director of Collection Development.

 whether Media Librarians are the sole selectors or whether subject

Re: [Videolib] Who do you report to?

2011-10-14 Thread Gail Fedak

A late post, but, ditto here.

I report to the Director of the Center for Educational Media in the 
College of Education. Here's how:


We opened as part of a grand design in 1975 as the distribution 
component of a Learning Resources Center that also featured creation and 
production of academic support programming (curriculum design, 
photographic studio, graphics design, television studio, equipment 
services). Our director reported to the Dean of Learning Resources who 
reported to the VPAA. Over the years the grand design fractured, and our 
director moved up the administrative chain to report directly to the 
VPAA. Over the next 15+ years our director's position gradually moved 
down the administrative chain to Associate VPAA, to Dean of the College 
of Education, to a director under the Dean of COE. We landed in the 
College of Education because our building was given to the college in 
the early 90s (they did not have one, and part of the university's core 
mission is training teachers). No money/space were available to move us 
somewhere else, certainly not into the main library. So, here we are.


Enjoyed seeing the varied permutations of reporting structures!

Re: [Videolib] Who do you report to?

2011-10-13 Thread Anthony Anderson
My situation here at the University of Southern California  is perhaps 
rather unique.
I am a not media librarian--at least not in the sense that many on this 
list appear to be. Among
my responsibilities is that I am the selector for our Leavey Libray's 
video collection,
which entails each year selecting dvds with a budget of around 
$45,000--sometimes

less, often  more.

In addition, I am the Library's selector for a myriad of different 
disciplines--including Theater,
Dance, Historiography, Asian History, African History, 
Australian/Oceania History, British
History, Middle East History, West European History, Holocaust Studies, 
GLBT Studies, and

Library Science.

Because my office is located in our university's political science 
library, and that I do reference
work there, my reviewing officer is the head of the political science 
library. Because of the
work I do with the Leavey Library, I am often in communication with that 
library's director, but

I do not in any sense report to her.

It is all rather crazy at times.


Cheers,
Anthony

Re: [Videolib] Who do you report to?

2011-10-13 Thread Nancy E. Friedland
Our media operations has always been supported by the undergraduate
reserves department. Until four years ago, reserves reported to the
director of the history and humanities division -- reserves now
reports to the director of access services. I continue to report to
the director of the history and humanities division -- we are all
subject selectors and public service librarians. I continue to be the
main selector for the media collection and to some extent less
involved in the operations -- however this is difficult to nearly
impossible since expertise is required for many questions that arise
e.g., streaming, copyright, public performance, VHS to DVD
preservation project, etc. -- I am directly involved with these
issues.   Both directors report to an associate university librarian
(one of three)  that reports to the university librarian.

whether Media Librarians are
the sole selectors or whether subject liaison librarians also are 
responsible for selection.
