Our FOD statistics are down dramatically also. But on our campus the FOD
service has not been working well all semester - since the enhancements made to
the service in August. Our faculty have been having terrible trouble with
making the programs stream - in the classroom and from home. The programs are
hanging and halting play. Many of our faculty have given up trying to use the
service and are coming into AV to borrow dvds.
Our IT department is working on the problem on our campus and will be having a
conference call with FOD tech staff. For those of you who have experienced a
drop in statistics, are you sure that the streaming has actually been working
for your faculty?

Subject: Re: [Videolib] Films On Demand Statistics
Just looking at the most recent month, our usage data is off about 70% from the
same period last year so there appears to be a possible change in how usage is
being counted. If anything I'd expect growth from last year. There are
definitely more classes using it this year.
