The demand from library users for audiovisual materials and remote access combined with the unceasing deterioration and inaccessibility of many audiovisual formats requires libraries to adapt their collections to meet current and future demands. While this changing landscape of digitization and resource management may seem daunting, it represents an opportunity to bolster a library's relevancy and competitiveness. Managing Digital Audiovisual Resources fills a gap as a single concise guide for real world basics, broad concepts, and practical needs from technologies to collections to promotion. The easy-to-read book is geared towards the ongoing management of digital audiovisual resources, presenting real world scenarios and ways to think through balancing all of the many factors and needs for these collections, dealing with limited resources, materials with different levels of significance, materials facing different levels of preservation risk, factors for decision making, and resources for other options. The book takes a procedural and example-rich approach to the management of digital audiovisual resources. It covers: *the selection of resources for digitization; * how to manage digitization of physical audiovisual collections; *how to select the best platforms for preservation and presentation; and, * how to market collections once they are accessible. Among other useful features, this guide will provide readers with: *Illustrated digitization workflows; *Comprehensive lists and illustrated descriptions of equipment and formats; *Real-world case studies; *Common U.S. copyright situations; and *Resources for further study and assistance.

Synastry is the branch of astrology that tells us how we relate to other people. How Joe relates to Mary & what Mary may think of that. In this complete, classic guide to astrology & relationships, Robson goes far beyond the usual his planets vs: her planets. He studies the overall weight of the two charts, the fertility of the inner planets, the condition of the 7th house. He compares her-planets-to- his-planets as well as his-houses-to-her-houses. Robson considers how strongly the individual wants relationships - and how many, whether he/she will marry early or late - or not at all, the likelihood of children, the possibility of divorce. He gives rules for wedding dates. In an extraordinary appendix, he lists some 266 classified rules & aphorisms, culled from many ancient sources. This is perhaps the finest book ever written on astrology & relationships. Vivian Erwood Robson lived from 1890 to 1942. By trade he was a librarian. Like many librarians he had a natural bent for research, and, in his particular case, astrology. He studied ancient astrologers closely, including Ptolemy & William Lilly. His books on electional astrology, fixed stars, and relationships, are 20th century classics.
