We prefer streaming video if: 1. Title is in heavy demand
2. Courses that would primarily use it are hybrid or online 3. We can obtain in perpetuity (we don't like to pay for the same content over and over) 4. We prefer to ingest and stream ourselves so we can develop our own playlists and annotations across titles, not necessarily from the same distributor 5. Of course, pricing is affordable We 're almost to the point of preferring streaming to hard copy. We determine if we want to purchase a hard copy if we have it as a streaming title. Jane B.

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.
