- W19077116 abstract "The medium of video is ubiquitous, one with which we are all familiar. It is a predominant means of communication today, and videotapes with diverse applications flood the market. Producers extol the unique features and flexibility of video technology and recommend its use for educational, promotional, and motivational purposes. In Morris Library at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale we have successfully incorporated this very contemporary tool into the library environment. A small group of staff members participated in a project designed to produce various library-oriented videos. The project began with a series of workshops in basic video production. One of the first programs was a fifteen-minute videotape on the Open Court Collection, the archives of a noted Illinois publishing company and one of the largest collections in the library's Manuscripts Department. The potential for the use of video in libraries is extraordinary. In order to capitalize on this potential, a video producer has now been employed full-time to continue the program within the library and to assist video production throughout the campus community. Background The video project, originally designed by the dean of Library Affairs, was intended to produce a series of videotapes for use in the library's different divisions. The videotapes would be used to update patrons about new services in the library, for faculty presentations, and for promotional purposes. We retained complete control of the presentations from beginning to end, primarily by utilizing resources within the library itself. Staff members from various departments were recruited to develop the subject matter and direct each production. While none of the recruits had prior experience with video production, the technical expertise and video editing equipment necessary to ensure a professional, effective product were available in the library's Instructional Services Division, a unit whose activities include course design and evaluation, implementation of instructional technology, and production of audio and videotapes for the campus community. A half-dozen production workshops, lasting approximately one hour each, were conducted by the head of the library's Instructional Development Division and were held every few weeks. During these sessions five novice directors learned about the principles and steps involved in creating a successful video with the maximum impact. A good video, we were told, is effective because it is lively, interesting, and concise. In order to maintain optimum interest and attention, the videos were designed to last no more than ten to fifteen minutes. Once the purpose and proposed audience for each were clearly defined, writing the scripts and compiling the shot lists followed. In Special Collections, an early suggestion to prepare a training film for student workers on filing in the card catalog was abandoned and replaced with a more interesting proposal to present material from the Open Court Collection that could be shown to researchers, students, and anyone interested in but unfamiliar with this material. The collection includes not only the archives of the Open Court Publishing Company, but also the personal papers of its editor, Paul Carus. Hundreds of boxes house an extensive correspondence with scientists, philosophers, and writers from around the world. There are copies of all the books published by the company, as well as galleys, page proofs, and many rare pamphlets and journals from the latter part of the nineteenth century and early years of the twentieth century. In addition there are many photographs, paintings, drawings, and illustrations--a wealth of material that could be incorporated into the presentation. Since the Open Court Collection consists chiefly of books, galleys, manuscripts, and correspondence--material that typically lacks inherent visual interest--video presentation of such material offered a significant challenge. …" @default.
