Re: [Videolib] A Library drawing audiences showing local films in 16mm
They are if you know where to go. I am going to Cinevent this weekend which is festival of rare old films and dealers in paper, prints and if you need them 16mm film parts. There is hard core of 16mm buffs collectors out there. This will be 4 days of watching films in nothing but 16mm.

Re: [Videolib] PBS streaming video
We have licensed about 60 titles from PBS. PBS used to have an online list of the titles that were available to be licensed for streaming (it was a fairly small list, I would guess under 500 titles), but I just checked the URL and it no longer works. The terms and pricing have been significantly different each time we've licensed content (2005 - last year). Farhad, since you are also in Texas we likely have the same rep. I'll send you her contact information off list. Frontline has a pretty good selection of programs available to view online, some dating back to the 80s and 90s. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/view/ Thanks, Kim Stanton Head, Media Library University of North Texas kim.stan...@unt.edu P: (940) 565-4832 F: (940) 369-7396 From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Moshiri, Farhad Sent: Monday, May 21, 2012 10:40 AM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] PBS streaming video Do you have a subscription with PBS streaming video? How much it costs? What is the contact information? I see a lot of recent programs free online. But all of them say for personal use in their terms of use. I have noticed too that these free online programs are all new episodes. How can I get subscription for all PBS documentaries old and new? I'm mostly interested in American Experience (especially, Eyes on the Prize), Frontline, etc. Thanks.

Re: [Videolib] Delivery of digital video
Hi Erika, Information on UNT's digital video delivery: * We offer access to a single version of the online video- it's on the higher bandwidth side. * The files are flv, hosted on a Flash streaming server and managed by a database and user interface our IT department created inhouse (called Video on Demand Collection). The user interface is searchable and browsable. We have some basic metadata (title, length, synopsis, permalink) included. * We also add bib records for most of the streaming items to the library catalog. The exceptions are those titles that we have licensed for a limited user group - 90% of the content is listed in the catalog. The catalog record directs users to the Video on Demand Collection to view the video. * We authenticate access. Users have to login both on and off campus. Access can be limited course enrollment if necessary. * We just started incorporate closed captions, when we have access to the caption file. * We don't have an embed function, so other sites (like Blackboard) have to link back to our collection page for access.

I'm interested in how you are delivering your in-house digital video content. How is the content searchable? Do you have high and low bandwidth versions? For our part, we're delivering video through MDID in high and low bandwidth versions. Videos are searchable through the library's catalog where there is a link directing them to MDID. They authenticate through single sign-on.
