Hi all, Thank you for the shout out, Jim! The slides from my NMM presentation are available on the Market website at: http://www.nmm.net/market-resources/
I had not weighed in earlier, because the process I discussed works best for captioning films licensed for online delivery when a subtitle or caption track is available on the DVD. The materials Lisa mentions, with no accessibility enhancements included, are much more problematic. I've experimented with creating caption files from scratch or from transcripts, but have concluded that this is only really cost effective for short, library-produced videos such as online tutorials. For longer commercial works, I'd agree with Arielle that outsourcing to a captioning vendor is probably the best means of providing accessible copies.

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.
