Additional pricing for online use is a killer for sales. One of the first criteria we use in deciding which individual films to license streaming is whether it will be used for a blended or online course. This is the wave of the future for graduate education and many foundation courses.
The streaming license is not a "reasonable price", not following the market. This may be a justification, under copyright, for digitizing without getting the license! Also, limiting to classroom use only is a deal breaker for our library due to the difficulty of administering this model, the difficulty for the community to discover the film, and our collection philosophy of access for our entire community of learning beyond the classroom. Sometimes this is picked up by the more well funded departments, but they tend to drop licenses quickly.

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.
