| Editorial Review | This collection of essays is an excellent grounding in the fast-evolving field of media as found in today's expanding library. - ARBA 2003 "Divided into seven sections, with chapters exploring the nature of video; the differences in video collection development at the public, school, and academic library levels; specialized collections and special user needs; policies, criteria, and methods for selecting, evaluating and acquiring video; contrasting looks at the home and and institutional video markets; reference tools and other resources; and speculations about the future, this weighty tome (in both senses) combines stiring philosophical arguments underscoring the importance of video collections in libraries, as well as a treasure chest of practical tips and techniques for the working video librarian. Highly recommended." - Video Librarian "Video collection for libraries is a complicated matter. This new edition of Handman's work can help librarians, administrators, students, and video aficionados make sense of the issues and practices that confront anyone utilizing video for business or pleasure.... Should be required reading for everyone who has to negotiate the video maze." - Booklist/Professional Reading "Librarians adding video to their collections, particularly if they are doing so reluctantly, need to read this book.... Handman has compiled a comprehensive collection of experience and insight from more than two dozen librarians on policies, issues, and resources necessary to build useful video collections in school, public, academic, and special libraries.... Even experienced media and collection development librarians will find new and helpful information and resources here. This is an essential purchase for all public and academic libraries." - Library Journal, Starred Review |
