Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2011 1:48 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] notice to faculty re video/dvd acquisitions Hi everyone, For the academic university crowd.... I'm curious as to how you notify or if you notify faculty who request that the library purchase a video/dvd. 1. Do you notify the selector when the item has come in? We send a notice to the requestor when it's catalogued and ready for checkout. 1a) Do you only notify the selector when it is a rush? 2. If you have Faculty library liaisons in each department, do you notify them of new media in their subject area? 2a) if so, do you ask them to spread the word 2b) if not, do you notify the department at large by sending a mass email t to all the profs? No, we leave that in the hands of the librarian selectors. 3. Do you notify librarian subject selectors and ask them to forward on the notification? Yes, they forward to the faculty who they think would be interested and sometimes to the entire department. 4. Do you rely solely on an online newsletter or monthly acquisitions list for books and media in one? No, we have a new acquisitions list in our OPAC, but that is only for those who want to see what's new. We try to target the faculty through the library selectors. 5. Alternatives? Thanks for any responses, Rhonda Rhonda Rosen| Head, Media & Access Services William H.

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.
