Hi everyone,
My name is Rob Hoffman and I'm a MIS student at the University of
Michigan''s School of Information. Myself, Sarah Lemre, Sara Veltri
and Jessie Mannisto are part of a four-member group in Karen Markey's
"Collection Development" class.
Our semester-long project is the Askwith Video Library at the
University of Mchigan. Jeffrey Pearson at the Askwith has been
enormously helpful so far. This week, we are completing an assignment
evaluating five different sources of information that we could use
(theoretically) to build Askwith's collecrion.
We have chosen to evaluate Video Librarian, DVDBeaver.com, Blu-
ray.com, Entertainment Weekly and Doug Pratt's DVD LaserDisc
newsletter. As part of the report, we'd like to include direct quotes
from college video librarians about why they find any of the sites
most useful – or disposable.
You can respond offlist, if you like, to our group email: si620gr...@ctools.umich.edu
.
Thanks!

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.
