Digital Video: From Digital Libraries to Social Interaction

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moving images have powerful effects on humans but we do not understand much about these effects and how new digital video technologies influence creation, access, use, and reuse of these records or human expressions.  For the past decade, we have been investigating how digital video can be made more accessible to people, how people make sense of videos found in digital video libraries, and how digital video is used in education.  In this talk, our work in developing the Open Video Digital Library (http://open-video.org), investigating how contextual information can be added to digital video archives (http://ils.unc.edu/vidarch), and to initiate the UNC YouTube channel (http://youtube.com/uncchappelhill) will be used as a basis for considering how digital video can be integrated into text-dominated information and communication sciences and launch a conversation about next steps for research, teaching, and the enjoyment of life.
