Hi Cindy and all, We looked at Anatomy TV and a few other online 3-D anatomy resources a few months ago. A group of anatomy faculty members here did not like it for a few reasons: they said it contains errors, the images are schematic versus realistic, and that students get distracted by the funky 3-D features and don't use them for learning.
We ended up going with a rather low-tech but high-quality interactive resource called Winking Skull: https://www.winkingskull.com/default.aspx It's much cheaper than the other products we were looking at and includes a section for faculty members to access teaching materials. So far, uptake hasn't been huge but we hope to begin promoting it more as undergrads arrive in the fall. Hope this helps. I'd be happy to share my chart outlining the anatomy tools we looked at if you'd like.

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.
