Unfortunately, this round table was obsorbed into the now defunct
Collection Management committee during a reorganizatio of VLA. Many of
the MRT members where upset with this action, as media issues involve
issues other than collection development. VLA lost participation of many
media librarians to ALA, CCUMC and NMM.
Virginia's state sponsored VIVA (Virtual Library of Virginia
<http://www.vivalib.org/>) has recently formed an Adhoc Committee on
Media. This group is pioneering our consortial purchase of digital
media collections.
