Hi Gail, Many schools are purchasing streaming rights to individual titles. Film Ideas thinks choice is important. No database has all the content a professor needs. So to help facilitate these individual purchases, Film Ideas is giving away its streaming software to schools for free.
I know New Day can host the program for you, but if you are interested in exploring hosting video, please contact me off-line. Regards, Bob Managing Director Film Ideas, Inc.

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.
