For you VideoLibers who are near the DC Metro Area I’d like to pass on some event information.
The University of Maryland Libraries and Library Media Services work with our local communities on various engagement projects. One such is a community group of active and hopeful filmmakers and digital media storytellers. We hold informal and increasingly more “formal” get togethers and workshops to teach each other about our areas of expertise, and hopefully begin some learning process for those looking to “work” and/or create in these fields. The schedule is below but for more information on our community group see: http://creativeedgepg.wordpress.com/ If any of you are interested and close enough to join in, our fall schedule is announced in the email below. If you have any questions from the VideoLib perspective, feel free to contact me directly but I hope to see some of you there/there/eveywhere, -- Carleton L.

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.
