I am on the 2010 Program Committee for ALA’s Video Round Table. We are basing the program around libraries who make their own movies and are looking for excellent examples of library produced videos. We are in the early stages of looking for examples and are, for now, casting a wide net, so it doesn’t matter if the movie is for promotion or instruction or fun.
If you know of any outstanding videos made by libraries, you can post a link in the comments or email me at thomasipri [at] gmail [dot] com.
Thanks!
I am the web communications director for Howard County Library in Maryland. It is a new position here and one of my functions is to write, produce, direct, edit (both video and sound) here are some examples of what we have done so far, but we’re just getting started.

Some are rougher than others, but you get the idea. Best of luck with the round table.
Thanks Dennis and Jason. We are compiling a list of all the videos and will evaluate what we have for the program. If we’re interested in your videos we will contact you to see if anyone responsible for their creation will be interested and available for the program.
Here’s a link to our video page:

The first two are my favorite, and I think very approachable for students.
Thanks Andy!
