Hi Kim. I have attended the SCMS conference recently and found it very
interesting and worthwhile to attend as a librarian. There are many
panels that address teaching, research, and collections issues,
primarily from a faculty standpoint. The attendees are friendly, and
the size of the conference is manageable. I have been told from a
number of SCMS members that they would welcome the contributions of
librarians to the organization, and I think there would be room for a
librarians' interest group. I would be interested to hear from other
cinema and media studies librarians who might like to work toward this
goal as well. It would be worth posting your question to the camslib
listserv (https://lists.carleton.edu/info/camslib), whose audience is
cinema and media studies librarians, to hear their feedback.
best,
Elizabeth

Hi all,
Are there any academic media librarians (especially film studies
librarians) who are members of the Society for Cinema and Media
Studies or have attended/ presented at their annual conference? Do
you feel this organization or conference was worthwhile from a
librarians POV?
Feel free to respond off list.
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.
