Ursula and Jessica Having served on the NMM board for 2 years, one as the chair, I can strong attest to how much Ursula's tireless efforts contributed to the success of the Market!
Through good times and lean, Ursula has been the face of the National Media MarketŠ a great problem resolver, a promoter, an idea generator, a relationship builder. We who rely on the Market as an essential selection tool will miss you very much! Yet with change there is new opportunity, for you, in your new position. May they come to treasure and respect you as much as we (buyers), and I (personally) do. May you find your new opportunities reinvigorating, rewarding (in many ways) and challengingŠ not with insurmountable challenges, but with the type that stimulate and excite professionally and personally. While you are a very tough act to follow, I have no doubt that Jessica is one who do it. I already have had the pleasure of working with her both in relation to VideoProject and MediaHub. And I know her capabilities are strong, her interest keen, and her enthusiasm contagious. Doors close and openŠ my very best wishes to both of you. -deg deg farrelly, ShareStream Administrator/Media Librarian Arizona State University Libraries Hayden Library C1H1 P.O.

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.
