Acquisitions

Acquisitions will be working with Library Media to develop video reviews of new library resources to feature in the library homepage "Spotlight." This is a Video Working Group initiative and we'll be evaluating the success of this ongoing attempt at promoting new resources by number of hits that the reviews get. Thanks to May Chang for getting us the equipment we need for this and other support. Later as we have our concept further developed we may be inviting other library readers/movie fans/music fans to participate in this project as on-screen reviewers.
