Hi all I am currently serving as an advisor on a planning grant funded by the NEH, awarded to the Tribeca Film Institute for a project entitled From Bluegrass to Broadway, a film history of popular music in America. (I've attached a summary of the project.) Tim Gunn, the project director, is looking for ways to use the Internet to enhance the on-site program and also to extend the program to interested persons who are unable to attend the local offering. He would like to discuss the project with librarians who have had experience in using the Internet as part of their public programming, such as:
--Promotion and advertising --Distribution of program materials (copies of articles, transcripts, etc.) --Filming, digitizing, and streaming programs (such as lectures, panel discussions, etc.) --Streaming videos acquired elsewhere --Conducting on-line discussions If you have experience in any of these or other ways to use the Internet or have information that might be helpful, Tim would very much appreciate speaking with you. Please email him at: timgun...@gmail.com or call at 212-595-8367. Feel free to forward this note to any lists you think might be appropriate.

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.
