Lisa, We use several different methods to provide access to streaming content and the way we handle it funding depends on the scenario:
* Content hosted on our library server - treated like a monograph, regardless of the licensing period (1 year, 3 year or in perpetuity). We track these rights in a database separate from our ILS. At the beginning of each year I review which licenses need renewal for the FY and mentally set that money aside in my Digital Rights fund. * Hosted by vendor as a multi year ( 3 year, 7 year, etc) subscription- treated like a monograph, see above * Hosted by vendor as a 1 year ongoing "subscription" - treated as a serial, tracked in our ILS like all other serials * Hosted by vendor, database purchased outright - initially treated like monograph; any annual access fees are treated like a serial Our library is moving away from discipline-specific annual budgeting towards a just-in-time/ user centered/ "big pool of money" model. At this time I still have a small Digital Rights fund that I use primarily to pay for the content we host on our own library server (new and renewals; across disciplines); larger annual subscription packages are usually paid from "the big pool". Good luck!

Dev. Policies & Funds Greetings everyone, We are in the very beginning stages of developing a collection development policy for streaming media here at Tulane. I would be very appreciative of any development policies for streaming media that you may be able to share with us. Also, I am very curious about how different institutions fund streaming media. Do you treat it as a serial? Does it come out of subject book funds? Does you treat it (i.e. a renewal and purchase of a brand new license or as a recurring subscription) change what fund type it comes out of? I look forward to reading all your responses! Thanks! -lisa Music & Media Librarian Howard-Tilton Memorial Library Tulane University 504.314.7822 www.facebook.com/TulaneMusicAndMediaCenter<http://www.facebook.com/TulaneMusicAndMediaCenter> http://musicmediacentertulane.tumblr.com/ http://bamboulanola.tumblr.com/
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.
