Dear All, Yes, I was too harsh...I restract my statement and offer apologies. Personally, it just not user-friendly enough for me and I wish they had installed an online tutorial as many vendors do so.

Here at USC we have several of their products (Including Theatre in Video and Dance in Video),and we couldn't be more pleased with them. Content, ease in accessibility, and customer service are all superlative. Cheers! Anthony ******************************* Anthony E.

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?
