Re: [Videolib] PBS streaming videos
Hi Jennifer, This is Jordan White, the product manager for Alexander Street Press' VAST: Academic Video Online. A quick clarification -- We are not pulling PBS titles from VAST nor do we have any intentions to do so. Our new PBS collection will include the content we have previously released in our other collections, in addition to 245 new titles *not previously available* in the ASP library. For clarifications on how you can gain access, as well as the terms and conditions that apply to this special collection, please read more herehttp://alexanderstreet.com/products/pbs-video-collection . If you have any questions or concerns about this or other content in VAST, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks! *Jordan D.

Most of us who have had access to PBS titles via streaming have experienced similar losses. PBS is one of the most problematic of content providers since they themselves do not own the rights in perpetuity. When you subscribed to VAST you did not purchase the videos, you licensed access to them for the time frame of your license. This is not action that Alexander Street Press is desiring to take, they are bound by the terms of their contract with PBS as well. Films Media Group Films on Demand has dealt with similar losses. You mention not wanting to purchase an entire collection of PBS titles... in fact, you are unable to do so, none of us is able to do so, since PBS does not sell their content. The only way to assure continued access to the content of PBS titles is to purchase hard copies (DVDs) No, these will not be streamable, but you will own the copy. -deg farrelly Media Librarian / ShareStream Administrator ASU Libraries -- Sorry for cross-posting.

Re: [Videolib] PPR for PBS
Hi all, A quick note on this from Alexander Street. We're not just about collections anymore! ASP's Academic Video Store https://academicvideostore.com/ relaunched over the summer, streamlining the user experience, and making it easy to order DVDs, three-year streams, or perpetual streams in one place. Right now, we have more than 4,300 titles available, from producers such as ZED, Electric Sky, TVF International, Journeyman Pictures, Point du Jour, California Newsreel, Danish Broadcasting Corporation, Filmakers Library, Microtraining Associates, and more. And we’re adding approximately 1,000 titles each month. This month, more than 1,000 titles from the BBC will be uploaded. Future releases this fall will include content from Collective Eye, Ampersand, American Public Television, and others. We’d love to hear what you think and what else you’d like to see made available. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us for more information, feedback et cetera. Thanks, *Jordan D.

Re: [Videolib] Films on Demand vs. VAST
Hi all, Please let me introduce myself. I am Jordan White, the new product manager for *VAST: Academic Video Online*. We listen to our customers and video advisors a lot—so thank you all for your thoughts. A couple points in response to the discussion here regarding MARC records and what’s included in VAST: First, we create all of our own MARC records, which are then offered to OCLC for inclusion in their program. OCLC has reported issues recently with their ability to process these in a timely fashion and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. If you’d like a manual download of MARC records, we can give you this in the interim—just email us. Second, *Filmakers Library Online*, our cross-disciplinary collection of 1,013 award-winning documentaries available exclusively through Alexander Street, is included in its entirety in VAST—this is the complete “backfile” of Filmakers Library titles through 2012, all there today in VAST. (A small, optional “2013 update” collection will be offered soon—around 100 films signed during the current calendar year that will not be included in VAST.) VAST should not be viewed as “all of Alexander Street’s videos in a package.” VAST is a collection crafted specifically to serve undergraduate programs across your departments, covering dozens of subject areas—more than 16,300 titles today, reaching 20,000+ titles by June 1 of this year, and continuing to grow. In addition to VAST we offer thousands more videos through various discipline collections, for libraries who want lots more content in particular subject areas. We make these additional videos available in collections (e.g., *Counseling and Therapy in Video: Volume II*) and sometimes also as single titles on DVD or streaming. In other words, VAST does not and cannot include all of our videos. The product would be too expensive; it would include content that’s specialized and irrelevant to many libraries; and occasionally, producers choose to exclude their content from VAST. (One example is that while we do have films from California Newsreel in VAST, the producer specified that some content remain exclusive to our specialized *Black Studies in Video *collection.) What VAST is—it’s a powerful tool for undergraduate research and scholarship. We grow it by selecting 400 or more complete videos each month. We’re pushing the frontier of what it will include—both in a steady stream of new partners (National Geographic, Frontline, Bill Moyers) and in formats (documentaries, interviews, demonstrations, complete feature films, interviews, and forthcoming political speeches, public television series). “Pushing the frontier” also means new tools coming in April that will let you upload local content, search beyond our content to the Web through our semantic indexing, and create and share custom learning tools and apps. Thanks again for your feedback. If I can answer questions or hear your ideas, please reach out to me by e-mail at jwh...@astreetpress.com or by phone at 1-800-889-5937 x 307. I look forward to getting to know you!

So you end up with a lot of titles not in your catalog. FMG just re-did their records. As a matter of fact we are downloading them right now (all the FMG records again), so we will see how better they really are or not. Having VAST is different than having the individual collections. We have the counseling collection and the music collection and they are very good. With VAST, you don't get all the videos from Filmmakers Library, you just get only a few and not the ones you really use. Same thing with California Newsreel. So as you said we cannot compare VAST with the individual collections from ASP. I am very disappointed with VAST, reason why we got instead of the individual collection was price, they put it in a way that getting individual collections was way more money than VAST and why not VAST was supposed to have everything...
