Just did the presentation, and it went really well-though the discussion kind of devolved into arguments about fair use, copyright, and general dismay over the state of "critical thinking" on campus. It seems some percentage of students are doing media assignments, but not getting enough classroom and production support. Alas, since we don't have a production lab (I envy yours, Deb and Scott!) it isn't easy for us to help out in those ways. Anyway, my thinking at least is clarified by all of your insights!!!! I love this list!

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.
