Thanks for the heads up, Brian.
Well, I just got back from a Boston/Ipswich/Putney (VT)/Olean (NY)/Allegheny National Forest holidaze trip -- hence I will miss you all at the Boston Video Convocation. If you get a chance, take the MBTA rail from North Station to Manchester-by-the-Sea and visit Agassiz Rocks. A good walk on good granite. Otherwise, have fun and make momentous decisions. ============== Randal ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian W Boling" <brian.bol...@temple.edu> To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu, v...@lists.ala.org Sent: Monday, January 4, 2016 2:15:29 PM Subject: [VRT-List] Video Round Table events at ALA Midwinter 2016 Boston [Apologies for cross-posting.

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.
