I'm finding that the process of acquiring streamed media is moving things more to Tech Services - Acquisitions (license review and purchasing), Systems. And my favorite: the serials committee, because licensed material is not a one-time purchase. I make the "we should buy this" presentation and then poke every so often to keep it moving. Currently frustrated because bureaucracy is slowing things down. A lot.

I'm interesting in how moving from VHS/DVD to streaming changed your media department workflow. For any of you who have moved this way, have you needed more staff or less ? And 2) In this time of budget tightening, How has the personnel structure of your media department changed? 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.
