Hi - Scott - here at UNC, our stats remain high / strong for use of our physical media collections even as use of our streaming collections continues to steadily grow. My advice regarding the release of your project - make it as easy to collect as possible (DVD, streaming online, license to stream locally, etc.).
Judith - as with what Sarah @ Hofstra is seeing - Profs at UNC have been increasingly assigning viewing outside of the classroom for a handful of years now. Prior to classes starting or during the first couple of weeks, we work with instructors' syllabi and course pages - reviewing filmographies and providing links to all available streaming or paths to our physical holdings via our reserves system and Sakai.

A quick added question: are teachers ever assigning streams to their students' syllabi for them to watch at home, as they would, say, a book or article?

Are you folks transitioning over to Blu-ray? Do DVDs still have a place in libraries? How much of your new purchases are streaming as opposed to physical media?
