We have a dedicated iMac with Final Cut Express and iMovie available. We also have an old Legacy microphone amp to provide voice over ability, and I want to expand the abilities as I find other equipment to augment what we have. I want to have a spot for kids who are not in Film Studies can have access to create projects. We also have several iMacs in our library that have iMovie and we will lend them cables to hook up cameras if necessary so they can use those to edit as well. No actual shooting studio, but I would love to create such a room. regards jhs

All part of being a librarian" -- James Turner "Rex Libris" Transitus profusum est nocens! >>> Randal Baier 09/10/10 10:53 AM >>> 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.
