Hi Benjamin, At UVA the selection and purchase of videos is primarily the responsibility of the media librarian and are purchased from a central media budget. If subject librarians get requests from their faculty for media items they usually forward them to me. Our CJK librarian will sometimes purchase videos from his budget, as will our librarian for Middle Eastern Studies.
Cheers, Matt ________________________________________ Matt Ball Media and Collections Librarian University of Virginia Charlottesville, VA 22904 mattb...@virginia.edu<https://mail.eservices.virginia.edu/owa/redir.aspx?C=62fe60f092584617be4c37bdfc2dcf42&URL=mailto%3amattball%40virginia.edu> | 434-924-3812 From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Benjamin Turner Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2010 3:59 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] Video Selection: Subject Selector or Media Specialist? Dear Colleagues, At your institutions, is DVD and Video selection the responsibility of subject specialists, or primarily the responsibility of a media specialist? Or is the responsibility shared?

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.
