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!

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, Randal Baier Eastern Michigan University
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.
