I doubt you can convince a university to do this, but this is what I do with the EVIL paypal which frankly should be sued by the government for anti-trust. Remember they claim they are a service to help to use CC safely but you give up ALL the protections you have with a CC when you use them. OK after the rant here is my suggestion. Since there is no way in hell I will allow them access to my "real" bank account, I set up a 2nd one and put $100 in it. I am sure the University is a BIG customer of whatever bank you use so it really should not be that hard. Then just link paypal to that account.

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.
