Hello all, I'm hoping to draw upon your collective wisdom to find a solution to a problem we're facing at my library. We are seeing a strong need to provide some form of streaming video content to our faculty for use in their face to face and online classes, but we are unable to add another ongoing database subscription to our budget. I'm wondering about the possibility of buying one time, short term streaming licenses to individual titles, and using some kind of freeware such as Avalon to push them out to classes. Do any of you have a similar program that is working well for you? Is there another solution you might recommend?
Any help you have to offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mardi Mardi Mahaffy Interim Department Head Reference and Research Services Dept. New Mexico State University 575-646-6925
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.
