Hi Everyone,
We are seeking vendor sponsorship for the 2011 Video Round Table Gala at ALA Annual, *A Tribute to Helen Hill*. Helen Hill<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Hill>was a social activist and artist of experimental animation who lived and created in New Orleans. After the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Hill's work expanded into the preservation realm as she promoted do-it-yourself techniques for film archiving and restoration. Her films have received awards and honors, including entry in the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry. Join Video Round Table and friends of Helen Hill for an evening celebrating her life and work. Proceeds from this event will be donated to the Helen Hill Award for the Orphan Films Symposium. If interested in sponsorship of this event, contact Tom Ipri: tom.i...@unlv.edu or Danette Pachtner: danett...@duke.edu Don’t let not being present hinder you from supporting VRT in New Orleans! -- Scott Spicer Media Outreach and Learning Spaces Librarian University of Minnesota Libraries - Twin Cities 341 Walter Library spic0...@umn.edu 612.626.0629 Media Services: lib.umn.edu/media SMART Learning Commons: smart.umn.edu
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.
