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<http://www.ala.org/vrt/notablevideos/notablevideoscriteria> first, then fill out the suggestion form<http://www.ala.org/vrt/notablevideos/form>. Thanks in advance for your participation. Michele McKenzie Chair, Notable Videos for Adults Committee Art & Music Librarian Berkeley Public Library Berkeley, CA mmcken...@ci.berkeley.ca.us
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.
