After looking at this Ultraviolet, one impact I can see is that if we as a library buy something physical by one of the partners in this UV group, then we also have access to a digital copy that we can play on a digital devise, so, it can in fact double the usable copies in the collection, if a student has a video checked out, we can offer to some one else who wants to watch it via a device in the library that digital copy. Have a few iPads (If Apple ever signs on) or some similar device to check out. It could be helpful in the case of high demand items. jhs
