<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone worked with a translation and/or film company to produce a short video introducing your library in a language other than English, or produced one independently? If so, can you share what your experience was like, and/or the cost
of the project?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As well as being something we are looking into at my home library, I’m on RUSA’s Committee on Multilingual Library Services (learn more here!:
<a href="http://www.ala.org/rusa/contact/rosters/rss/rus-moulss">http://www.ala.org/rusa/contact/rosters/rss/rus-moulss</a>) and it’s the kind of information we would like to collect and have available for interested libraries.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, here are a few examples:<o:p></o:p></p>
