Our library is considering subscribing to some kind of streaming video database. For of those of you who already do this, did subscribing to such a database cut down on the number of physical CDs/DVDs you have to purchase for your faculty?
Secondly, does anyone have a policy that describes what AV content the library will use its money to provide (through a subscribed streaming package) and what the faculty will need to use their own department's funds to supply?

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.
