Information About CSLP PSAs On the CSLP Website.
1. A special link has been created for TV stations or other media outlets to use to access the public service announements. Remember - downloads and program information are usually found on the CSLP site after a registered member has logged in. Since media outlets are not registered members, you will need to provide them with this link. Please be sure to also share this link with librarians in your area. This is the URL to share with people who need it:
www.cslpreads.org/media-2013-psa.html
2. There are separate audio files for the PSA in English and Spanish. They can be found on the CSLP website under the same section as the PSA videos - the audio files will be listed first. These are for folks who wish to send something to a radio station or play the audio file at a story time, event, or at the end of a library film.
3. People have asked if there is a difference between the film quality on the DVD versus the film quality of the downloadable files. Essentially the quality of the file or format will depend on the type of screen or device you are playing the PSA on. High definition digital files will look best on LCD monitors, flat panel monitors, iPads, or other handheld devices. Television stations will also want these types of files for broadcast. If you are using older televisions or even older computer monitors (anything square and like a box), playing the PSA from a DVD will be the best quality for you. Note that there is now also a link on the PSA page to iPhone/iPad optimized files. If you have any questions about which specific type of file you should be downloading contact Charlotte Johnston, CSLP - PR & Marketing Chair, at cmjohnstonlibrarian@gmail.com.
