And it was during this particular ALA (in my hometown Chicago) that
Milos Stehlik of FACETS gave a talk and basically said this:
Milos Stehlik of Facets Multimedia based here in Chicago told the group
they should PICKET the ALA for their lack of foresight and understanding
about the huge importance of the moving image. Media literacy is the
DOMINANT issue today. He said the ALA is focused on print and needs to
expand, as it is NOT in the world of the visual image. There is nothing
in the conference schedule that addresses digital technology changes.
The ALA needs to CONNECT with the public where they are at and currently
that is the moving image. We, as media librarians, must help raise
consciousness of the VITAL importance of film and video in our society
today.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Anyone wanna take him up on it
next ALA? Brush up on your Saul Alinsky....

When this thing was first put out by ALA I had a long and fairly
unpleasant discussion with the author of the piece (a woman whose name I
have since
forgotten). As I recall she ended the conversation by saying that "we
agreed to disagree", at which point I informed her that I didn't agree
at all...the information was wrong. Period.
It's one thing for ALA to have ignored film and video for the last 50
years, it's another to spread disinformation about their acceptable use
in libraries.

So what need does the "MLS" fulfill with regard to film and video? ALA
doesn't even recognize that video exists!
Do you want a librarian or do you want a film/video expert?
Just checking

I hope you aren't inferring that they are mutually exclusive, or that
one can't be both.

All,
While ALA certainly has a poor track record when it comes to recognizing
the importance of video (and they are certainly not alone in this), the
Video Round Table has, in the past few years, had some good discussion
groups, panels and events that have helped to at least bring video a bit
more into the forefront (The notable videos group, the panel on
streaming video two or three years ago, the discussion on similar topics
at Midwinter a couple years ago and the preconference on copyright this
last June, to name a few).
ALA is not going to change overnight, nor is it going to happen without
work on our part. I would encourage those of you who aren't to consider
joining VRT to help us move in the right direction (from the survey on
video librarians that was recently circulated, we found that only half
of those that responded were on Videolib, and only a quarter were
members of VRT).
Thanks,
mb
