I will add something too - I know we (the NFB) have had trouble with generating MARC records but, very soon, these will be available with LC Subject headings and correct credit information on the nfb.ca site for subscribing libraries.
Glad to hear positive feedback for the image quality. -Katherine _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Katherine Kasirer Bibliothécaire de référence |Reference Librarian Gestion de l'information | Information Management Planification stratégique et relations gouvernementales | Strategic Planning and Government Relations Office national du film | National Film Board 3155, chemin de la Côte-de-Liesse, Montréal QC H4N 2N4 | 3155 Cote-de-Liesse Road, Montreal QC H4N 2N4 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> | [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Téléphone | Telephone: 514-283-9045 Télécopieur | Facsimile : 514-283-9811 Gouvernement du Canada | Government of Canada De : [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] De la part de Oksana Dykyj Envoyé : 10 mai 2011 15:15 À : [email protected] Objet : Re: [Videolib] question about National Film Board of Canada May I add something about quality of the NFB streamed image? The films absolutely hold their own blown up to a 63" 1080i plasma. Therefore, they will look good in a classroom situation unlike some other streaming sites where going full screen on a laptop looks dreadful. The NFB has been at this for many years starting with their pilot Cineroute project 10 years ago, and they're continuing to lead the way.

Streaming can ONLY be done from the NFB site. They continually add to the collection. We have added every single English title to our Milennium catalogue, There are 721 titles in our catalog. http://tinyurl.com/64d3vzf You can browse our catalogue to see how we did it. Our Systems Technician subscribes to their RSS of new titles, and when they are announced,he adds the new titles to our holdings.

I have been looking at it and would like to know who has purchased it?
