Acquisitions Managers and Vendors Interest Group
"Video Acquisitions: The State of the Art"
Academic libraries are collecting increasing numbers of videos. Many
librarians responsible for identifying, sourcing, and obtaining these
titles find unexpected challenges, and lament the lack of fully-
developed vendor services such as those for books and serials. A core
of librarians who specialize in media offer Web sites and active
listservs that provide helpful information derived from long
experience. Some vendors have begun to offer services and databases
that can help. Acquisitions Managers can learn a great deal from all
of these sources. Please join us as we explore the state of video
acquisitions with a panel of two librarians and two vendors:
Overview: Dr. James M. Steffen, Film & Media Librarian, Emory
University
New Titles and Reviews: Randy Pitman, Editor/Publisher, Video
Librarian (Review Database)
Vendor Services: Cherene Birkholz, Action! Library Media Service
Following 20-minute presentations by each panelist, the moderator
(Rick Lugg of R2 Consulting) will initiate discussion by posing
several questions:
--Are approval or new title "notification" services needed or
planned?
--Licensing and educational rights issues?
--What are some of the issues related to format?
--What stage is streaming video at?
--Acquisitions issues - need for open accounts/invoicing, and
fallbacks such as p-cards, PayPal accounts
--Workflow issues for video content?
Audience questions and comments will also be incorporated. Come
prepared to share problems and solutions with your colleagues!
