I think the one clear answer we've gotten out of this discussion is that there
is no one right answer. Academic libraries are pretty diverse. :)

I have tried to keep up with this discussion, and so far I have not seen
any mention of streaming and public library collections. I frankly have no
idea if public libraries are collecting, to the extent possible, streamed
titles for patrons to access remotely. I am aware only of Overdrive, which
Hi Michael!
This is definitely useful! I was a film/video/audio librarian and
preservationist at NYPL for 15 years, around with the advent of the internet in
libraries and going through all the different browsers back then (remember Alta
Vista or Hotbot?). Fun, exciting times, and I remember
Hi Elizabeth and all,
I'm at a public library with about 42,500 registered patrons. Our Overdrive
streaming videos are at http://dubuque.lib.overdrive.com/ and
http://dubuque.lib.overdrive.com/screeningroom. I think Midwest Tape has a
similar platform called Hoopla.
We have about 860
Hey Meghann,
If you¹re yet to do so I highly recommend checking out our latest release
DEEP WEB: www.deepwebthemovie.com. Delving into the trial of alleged Silk
Road creator, Ross Ulbricht, the film covers everything from cyber
security to digital law enforcement, crypto currency and more. I¹d
We have changed our policy and will rarely, and only under certain
circumstances, purchase the stream for feature films. Students can get them so
much cheaper on demand when needed and we’re not going crazy trying to keep up
with the licenses needed for class use.
Best,

I've always thought of a Library's role (especially an academic
library's) as having two important facets that can be boiled down to:
access now and access over time. I realize that many factors come into
play when determining the balance of those two factors (budget, space,
staffing, etc.),
Hi everyone,
Major thanks to Jonathan Miller and the rest of the list for starting and
creating a wonderful discussion. This discussion in and of itself could serve
as a how-to guide for learning about streaming media in libraries.

Hi All,
An appeal to the CW -- does anyone have any recommendations for
*current* (produced within the last few years) DVDs on cyber-security
issues? We've found a few -- the Teaching Company has a course from
2013, for instance -- but any thoughts are welcome.
Thanks in advance!

Jim,
I would say that you're correct in that statement about most of the limitations
which have been identified relating to implementation over the actual streamed
format. However, I would add that there have been faculty concerns expressed
about streaming which relate more to quality - or
It is very useful to hear the perspective of media librarians on this question.
It sounds to me like most of the limitations of streaming mentioned are not a
feature of streaming per se, but the way it has been implemented by different
vendors.
For example, there is no technical reason why
I'm not pooh-poohing (great verb BTW)(nor did I think you were saying that I
was) -- I am very sympathetic to this being an issue for librarians in having
to deal with streaming. And it's true on our side of the transaction as well --
one of the big hassles for us is having to work through a
