Pass the Popcorn
Wednesday, November 19, 2:30 - 3:20 pm
Do you have that movie that has that guy who made that other movie that came out last fall?" "I saw a movie last night on TV, but I don't know what it's about or who was in it . . . Can you tell me what it was?" "I really love obscure Japanese New Wave films of the 1970s . . . What else can you suggest?" These are the kind of questions public librarians are now facing as more and more of our collections move to video formats. Movies now have a permanent place in the library, and we need to know how to help our patrons find them. This session is designed to help librarians handle those dreaded film advisory questions and learn to deal with even the most hardcore moviephile.
Speaker: Alex Sarkissian (Morrison-Reeves Library)
Presider: Sherri Bonham (Hamilton East Public Library)

Virtually Videos: Cataloging Streaming Video RecordingsThursday, November 20, 10:30 - 11:20 am
You can see them, but you can't hold them! How would you provide catalog access to streaming videos so that you can pinpoint their availability? We'll look at MARC fields, description and subject access -- the the usual cataloging considerations. And just what are you going to do about a call number? Come with your questions.
Speaker: LaDonna Riddle Weber (Library Technical Services Contractor)

Are Books Talking in Your Library?
Thursday, November 20, 3:00 - 3:50 pm
This program will explore the opportunity for the Indiana Talking Book and Braille Library and Indiana's public libraries to provide outstanding customer service to special populations by partnering in a number of areas. Public libraries may borrow from our library's extensive collection of large print titles to meet the needs of baby boomer who find it increasingly difficult to read standard print. The Talking Book and Braille Library would encourage talking book patrons and their families to access the computers in their public libraries to download audiobooks that are not in our collections. These and other creative partnering ideas will be presented and discussed.
Speaker: Carol Rose (Indiana State Library)
