Haven¹t registered for the 32nd National Media Market yet? Don't miss the chance to be a part of this annual event that brings together content providers and professionals involved in the use of media in teaching and learning. Although the primary focus of the NMM is screening and evaluating motion media, daily professional development sessions further enhance the Market experience by keeping you abreast of current hot topics in educational media and helping you gain a national perspective on current media issues. Highlights of this year's Market: Jane Hutchison, William Paterson University, is facilitating a pre-conference discussion group. This is a follow-up meeting to an ongoing discussion about policies and practices for the distribution and delivery of digital video. This year's opening session will be presented by Faith Rogow, Ph.D., founding president of NAMLE (National Association for Media Literacy) who will demonstrate how new approaches to media literacy education make it possible for every school to create a culture of inquiry, using practical and easy-to-implement examples based on sound educational pedagogy. Christopher Lohse from The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) will explain why the Common State Standards Initiative is important for the country. These common standards will bring about real and meaningful transformation of our education system to benefit all students. The first standards being addressed are English-language arts and mathematics in grades K-12. Do you want to learn how to use social media marketing to help your audience discover what¹s in your collection? Then attend Wednesday¹s session with Allen Chou, President of Passion River Films and an accomplished social media user. But the Market isn¹t all about 21st learning skills! Let¹s get to what really matters milk chocolate, dark chocolate and everything that goes with them. Sign up for the ³Sweet Kansas City tour² on Sunday afternoon, led by Brigid Duffy, former KC resident and long time Media Market attendee, who will spice your trip with bits of local history.

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.
