[Videolib] Swank Digital campus follow-up

[Badilla-Melendez, Cindy]

Hello Dear Wisdom,

Few days ago I sent an e-mail about who was doing Swank Digital campus. I was 
asked if I could do a summary of all the replies.
My issue was I would like to do Swank but have the films in our catalog and not 
just in blackboard or any other course management.
Off the replies I got, nobody is adding the titles to the catalog because under 
the contract you cannot do that, even if you talk to them and agree to have 
them in the catalog, you can't because Swank does not have a system to 
recognize IPs. You could do passwords though. So far we have not found another 
way to go around.

It is disappointing for me because it's a good idea but way too limited. I have 
a lot of faculty who does not want to use blackboard, also quite some money to 
have them so limited. I want all students who can't use them for projects be 
able to do so, not just the ones in the course reserve. We have too many 
databases and to want to use passwords way to messy again.

Anyway, thank you so much to all who replied.
I will be looking at the Alexander Street new database with movies from 
independents that will come up later on. If anybody is doing something similar 
with movies and streaming please let me know.
Thanks,
Cindy

[Moshiri, Farhad]

We're using Kwik secure cases for single DVDs. Do you know of any good heavy 
duty cases for box sets?
