The first topic of the day was acquiring streaming media. Several vendors were listed for subscription products and title by title purchases. Films on Demand, Alexander Street Press, Paley Media Center, Swank, Ambrose, New Day Films, Media Education Foundation, and Kanopy received mention. For those interested in implementing a media server several products were listed: Kaltura, ShareStream, Ensemble Video, Helix, Wowza, Media Amp, Avalon, and the open source solution Pomona College's Video47. Topic 2 discusses workflow. Many use ERMS, and spreadsheets. There is a concern about remembering to renewal a multi-year license. The additional complexity is the multiple departments and individuals which are part of the workflow. There was an example of a physical copy + streaming rights requires handling by both the print/media staff and the electronic resources staff. The idea of using a task management program was brought forth. One library uses an online form with various people assigned to a tab with an automatic email generated when the next step needs to be created. Topic 3 addressed the decision to purchase DVD + streaming rights. The question involved understanding why that decision was made. The two responders indicated that the decision was made on a case by case basis. Topic 4 Licensing 1. How do you handle multi-year license agreements? Do you utilize a URM, ERMS, or spreadsheet to manage and track your licensing? 2. Are there other legal or licensing issues or clauses particular to streaming media that you would like to discuss with colleagues in this e-forum? 1. 2. In many cases there seem to be more questions than answers. Streaming media has evolved with multiple options but there isn't a single solution. - Sally Gibson Head of CAP Department Illinois State University sallygibso...@gmail.com<mailto:sallygibso...@gmail.com> | 309-438-5879 deg farrelly, Media Librarian Arizona State University Libraries Hayden Library C1H1 P.O.

See you there? Subject: [alcts-eforum] Day 2 Summary: Streaming Media: Acquisition, Discovery, and Usage Data Topic 5 focused on the discovery of streaming titles and collections. The desire to make streaming materials discoverable was evident in all of the responses. * MARC records - When feasible, many libraries use MARC records as one point of access and discovery. These may be at the title level, the collection level, or both. The two common ways for title level access is via vendors supplying MARC records and via copy and original cataloging of records. It was noted that there is an inconsistency in the quality of MARC records, based on the vendor supplying them. One individual noted that they offer separate records for the hard copy and streaming format of titles, when both exist in their offerings. * Databases - Streaming collections might also be cataloged as databases for discovery. * ERMs - Some libraries track titles and/or collections in their ERM for public display. * OpenURL link resolvers - Some streaming collections are discoverable via openURL linking, including Alexander Street Press. * Discovery tools - Some streaming collections are discoverable search tools such as EBSCO Discovery Service or Summon * Guides - And many libraries use guides for discovery and promotion of streaming collections. Some guides were offered as examples by e-forum participants:http://libguides.asu.edu/streamingvideo, http://connect.ala.org/node/183711, http://guides.lib.washington.edu/streamvid Topic 6 was about the promotion of streaming media. Ideas for promotion included librarians informing their faculty of streaming collections, the use of digital signage, promotional videos, links to guides, stickers on DVDs advertising the same content via streaming, and posters. Deg Farrelly from Arizona State University Libraries shared this link showing posters and a slide used for digital signage: http://tinyurl.com/streamingpromotion. Topic 7 focused on the streaming media usage and assessment. It was expressed that there is a need for standardized metrics for and delivery of streaming usage statistics. In terms of vendor hosted streaming content, some vendors supply detailed usage reports, some provide mediocre usage reports, and some provide nothing at all. The preference for usage statistics to be provided dynamically was expressed, and the strong need for title level usage statistics was identified. In terms of locally hosted streaming content, platforms such as ShareStream were mentioned as offering usage tracking. Other topics brought up included: TEACH Act/fair use, PDA, integrating media into reference resources, and video servers/hosting.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
