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

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.
