Hi Everyone, Continuing the theme of streaming collection services, one of our librarians recently received a trial offer for the Asia Pacific Films streaming service, and I was wondering if anyone could speak to personal experience as it related to the quality of this resource and if so, who the audience is for it it at your school? Our institutional context is that we have the Ames Collection which is a special collection dedicated to south asian materials, but we do not have a South Asian department and from my understanding, limited course offerings specifically related to Asian Studies. That said, there may be subject content here that is applicable to other disciplines, I am just not familiar with these titles.
Feel free to contact me offline or respond here. Best, Scott -- Scott Spicer Media Outreach and Learning Spaces Librarian University of Minnesota Libraries - Twin Cities 341 Walter Library [email protected] 612.626.0629 Media Services: lib.umn.edu/media SMART Learning Commons: smart.umn.edu
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.
