We have an "arts" workstation and are in the process of installing a second one. These are the only two Macs in our library. They have Final Cut and iMovie, of course, as well as the full Adobe Suite and few discipline-specific apps like Finale, Labanwriter, and Pyware. Nothing to convert video formats, but we do have equipment that can convert LPs and cassettes over to CD so the students can access audio in a usable form. Most of them no longer have any equipment to handle older formats, as you all are undoubtedly aware. I have a full list of the specialty software installed available on request.

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.

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.
