I agree, and I think part of the success of the Hot Topics tables at ALA was that we could reach a broader audience, including all the acquisitions folks that deg has referred to as becoming the next group of media folk and others who get swept into media work without the background or experience. Oh my gosh, you've sucked me out of my lurking status, ack! :) I can't believe it was a decade ago that we did that... Mary Laskowski

Not all media librarians/paraprofessionals are able to attend the National Media Market, although I do remember the Hot Topic tables at NMM were also a tremendous success. Just my two cents.

I am thinking that a more intimate venue (such as the National Media Market) might be more suitable.

I recall those Hot Topic tables were very successful, and it allowed participants to learn a little bit about each field of importance.

I can pull my old info from the program. You could spend time with a topic, then there was a call to move to another group.We had about 2 VRT members with each group. Well attended, and attendees could focus on their area of interest.

As a matter of curiosity, I was wondering just how much formal training did you receive in assuming your roles as media librarians? I ask the same question also for those who are not media librarians (like myself), but still do a fair amount of media work as part of their jobs. I assume many of you probably have degrees in film (or communications) studies, but did you ever take any media classes at library school. I know that many library schools offer courses in government documents, but does anyone know of any library schools offering video librarianship courses? Might there be any relatively recent books on the subject of video librarianship? Or did many of you learn video librarianship from what you picked (or are picking up now) on the job? I pose these questions because the Video Round Table is considering the idea (among other proposals) of possibly holding at next summer’s ALA a program entitled Video Librarianship 101: “a workshop for librarians just getting into video librarianship or for those librarians who are not exclusively ‘media librarians’ but have positions which entail having a fair amount of video responsibilities. Topics might include: · PPR/institutional rates · Tracking down PPR for a single campus or community showing · Working with faculty, other librarians, students, and public library users in building up and publicizing video collections · Streaming: opportunities and challenges. Hoopla? · Allowing video collections to fully circulate and displaying them “openly” (as opposed to keeping them behind the circulation desk).” Would any of you out there find such a program to be of any interest?
