PostASAP: Looking for videographer

by James Jacobs on Sat, 07/04/2009 - 2:31am

Hi all. Cass hartnett asked me to videotape the GODORT Update on Saturday of Conference. However, I'll be traveling after ALA for almost a month and so won't be able to get the video processed and uploaded to the godort blip.tv site in a timely fashion. So I'm looking for someone with a video camera who'd be willing to help. That someone must a) have a video camera; b) be willing to process and upload the video soon after conference is over. I can supply the wireless mics for quality audio feed and will give directions for how to log in to blip.tv and upload (which is REALLY simple!).

PostGODORT Oral Histories project

An Oral Histories effort has been underway within GODORT, led quite capably by Tanya Finchum, Oklahoma State University. She'll be in Chicago, collecting stories and memories from even more GODORT greats. We are seeking volunteers to assist with the project, and Tanya would like to cycle off chairing the effort. At least three volunteers are sought, and technical skills (ability with recording, uploading, preserving files) are a plus, but not required.

Expectations for volunteers:
