Thanks christine - So, when you send notice to the selector, do you copy the chair of that dept. also, and to any other depts. that may be interested also?
I'm trying to streamline. Currently, we send to the selector and also to the faculty library rep and ask them to spread, in the library's new acquisitions, and in our own media dept. newsletter Something's gotta give!

Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2011 12:48 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? YES, WHEN IT IS READY TO BE CHECKED OUT 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 WE GENERALLY SEND TO THE CHAIR OR A LEAD INSTRUCTOR AND ASK TO SPREAD 2b) if not, do you notify the department at large by sending a mass email t to all the profs? OCCASIONALLY 3. Do you notify librarian subject selectors and ask them to forward on the notification? 4. Do you rely solely on an online newsletter or monthly acquisitions list for books and media in one? WE HAVE A NEW ITEMS LIST THAT COMES OUT MONTHLY WITH LINKS TO THE CATALOG 5. Alternatives? SOMETIMES I GO LOW TECH AND ACTUALLY CALL SOMEONE ON THE PHONE! 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.
