Hi all, I'm thinking about proposing a session for the Charleston Conference about streaming video packages and platforms, analyzing available content, usage, and cost. Does anyone want to collaborate with me on this? It would be great to have representation from different sized academic libraries.
Another idea I had: Collection Development policies for video. So many of us have different strategies for collection video content, or for making it accessible. Are you at a huge library that is collecting at the research level, or are you at a smaller institution more focused on supporting the curriculum, or something in between? Benefits of purchasing physical materials as opposed to streaming rights. Preferred format. What does the future hold. Etc. Email me if this appeals to you. Here's the call for papers: http://www.charlestonlibraryconference.com/2016-call-papers-now-open/ Sarah Sarah E. McCleskey, M.A., M.S.L.S.

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.
