HI All, Just curious if there are any universities out there where there is no media librarian and acquisition of films (DVD & streaming) is done by subject liaisons. Wondering how this works for you. How does a group of people keep up to date with a fast changing and diverse industry as opposed to one person who specializes in film and is familiar with the copyright law as it applies to film and with the various "license" permutations from vendors for DVDs as well as streaming. Happy to hear from supporters as well as detractors of this model.
Thanks! Jo Ann Jo Ann Reynolds Reserve Services Coordinator Homer Babbidge Library University of Connecticut 369 Fairfield Road, Unit 1005R Storrs, CT 06269-1005 860-486-1406
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.
