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?
