I am pleased to announced that the Video Round Table Program for the ALA Annual Conference is all set:

Video Makes the Library Star: Library-Created Visual Media

Sunday, June 27

10:30 am – 12 noon

Mayflower Renaissance – Colonial Room

1127 Connecticut Avenue Northwest

Washington, DC

The program will feature creators of library-related visual media. Librarians who have used their videos for promotion or instruction will share their experiences and discuss things to consider before launching a video production project.

The speakers include:

• Dee Vazquez, Community Engagement and Outreach Officer for the Pikes Peak Library District

• Matt Harp, Digital Library Production Manager, and Mimmo Bonanni, Digital Projects Librarian from Arizona State University Libraries.

• Michael Porter, librarian, presenter, author, practical technology fan, and PEZ collector.

I am quite thrilled with the speakers we have been able to schedule. The work they’ve done on creating their videos is quite impressive and I am looking forward to hearing about their experiences with creating these videos.

I feel very fortune to have had the opportunity to chair the VRT Program Committee and thank the other members:

Tracy Montri, AV Department Manager at Toledo-Lucas County Public Library
Juliana Nykolaiszyn, Visiting Assistant Professor at Oklahoma Oral History Research Program
