Similarly, use data from Arizona State University. (I am only able to provide simple usage data from the entry tab, not to the specific providers. I'm looking into more detailed reporting)
>From my Streaming Video LibGuide which went live in January. Aggregated data >January 2010 to date: Films On Demand - 749 Internet sites - 716 Other Licensed Collections - 544 Pay-Per-View Sources - 286 Linking Videos in Blackboard - 489 Note: MOST films on demand titles have catalog records, so many users access those titles from links in the online catalog. Films on Demand is a subscription shared across the 3 AZ universities (ASU, UofA, NAU). IP range use data is not available, but aggregated data for the first year of operation: * 4830 titles (about 75% of the collection) were used * 212,517 total use * Most viewed title: 13,340 views * More than half the titles viewed (2601) received 6 or more uses. * For information on the resources linked under each of these tabs, please look at my LibGuide here: http://libguides.asu.edu/StreamingVideo *********** Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2010 13:47:56 -0400 From: "Jo Ann Reynolds" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Videolib] Online streaming sources I have the Internet Archives and some others linked to a Media Resources LibGuide. Usage stats indicate 90 hits to the Free Media tab since January and 137 to Documentaries and Educational Media, which is a page devoted to links to free resources. Individual link stats: 8 hits to free documentaries online, 4 to PBS Frontline, 14 to PBS, 3 to TED Talks, 4 to Web of Stories, 2 to Babelgum, 1 to Discovery channel, just to give you an idea. Not a lot of hits but fills part of the need we have here. Libguide: http://classguides.lib.uconn.edu/mediaresources Jo Ann Reynolds <snip> Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone is using any of the online free streaming sources (such as Internet Archives, EZ Takes, Crackle) as an alternative to physical DVDs for reserves, and if so what are the benefits and drawbacks? Cheers, Matt 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.
