Film Ideas is conducting a little research too. We have developed a streaming video system and are now considering providing the software free to others. We believe it is in the best interest of institutions (and independent producers) to have content choice and Film Ideas is trying to facilitate that.
We are seeking the collective wisdom of the list serve to gauge if this idea has merit. Interested institutions would be able to modify the source code and brand the system to best suit their needs. Users can set up channels by colleges, departments or any way they choose. Subjects and all resources are fully customizable. It is friendly to use and easy to administer. You can evaluate the software by reviewing our application, at www.fichannels.com. Select the free trial, explore the capabilities, and then let us know what you think. Thanks, Bob Robert A.

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.
