I have recently had some phone calls/emails from Telecom. I don't know anything about them. Does anyone else use them and how is their product and service?

There is no one-stop shopping for media content... Especially quality media content. I'm at the National Media Market now, looking at the offerings from a wide assortment of video distributors for higher education. Here are some (but not all) of my favorites (In no particular order) Alexander Street Press - subject specific collections of high quality films, including the entire Filmakers Library catalog, in a rich interface that includes transcripts that track with the video stream. Hard copy sales also possible. Quickly expanding collection in the VAST collection Media Education Foundation - the best source for insightful deconstruction of mass media. Notable titles: Killing Us Softly, Codes of Gender, Dreamworlds, among many others Ambrose - THE source for BBC Shakespeare Plays... And classic titles: Ascent of Man, Shock of the New, etc. Icarus - Strong collection of social issue titles Bullfrog - Social issues and strong focus on environmental issues Cinefete - small company, but rich collection of documentaries.... A couple favorites: Chicken for Africa, Razor Wire Rodeo Films Media Group - broad-based large collection, well established deliver model, individually linkable segments. There are many others here at the Market.... Jus this is a quick answer. Most of these vendors can provide streaming rights, some stream themselves. But as with building any great collection, your content will have to come from many different sources. My $.02 -- deg farrelly Arizona State University P.O.

Good quality documentary material, easy to order by setting up a purchase order, also easy to renew licenses, faculty can embed their own links or reserve staff can do it for them. Videos segmented so can link to segments. Prices very reasonable.
