Our college’s Digital Media program is located in the same building as the 
library. And I have a senior multimedia specialist (who adjuncts for the 
aforementioned program) on my staff. He has multiple computers and software to 
assist us with production for our web-based tutorials and Blackboard 
instruction. He has been hoping to secure enough equipment/software to put into 
one of our larger study rooms for students who are not in the media program to 
use for their own productions. There is a lot of collaborate and cooperative 
work going on in our classrooms and they sometimes need access to resources to 
complete those projects.

 

I think we have enough to market using a wide variety of media choices. 

And then there is always the Youtube approach—I know there is at least one that 
was shot on a webcam right here in the library, in one of the carrels!

Subject: [Videolib] Do your institutions have video studios in 
theirlibrary/libraries?

 

I'm interested in knowing how many of you have video production studios in your 
libraries. Either live recording facilities or editing/post production 
facilities.

Could you please give me some idea of the kinds of projects you work on, what 
you interaction is with campus faculty and a general idea of the mission?

We *do* have such a studio; it needs some upgrading but it is a nice facility. 
But we are reviewing it's overall purpose given recent directions in media 
making, and I'd like to get some comparative information from other colleagues 
about their sites.

Even if some of you do not have a studio but have some opinions about the role 
of libraries in producing video/electronic media -- I'd like to get your input. 
Feel free to reply here if you think it is of group interest or reply to me off 
list and I can summarize later.

Cheers,

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.
