Greetings all, I want to thank everyone who wrote to me, some great conversations were started.
I heard from 6 libraries. 5 fund their streaming video out of library funds, 1 gets money from a foundation/friends group in addition to library funds. The types of libraries were all different (CCs to ARL research). Thanks so much, Friday V. -- *(Ms.) Friday Valentine, MLS* Digital Assets Curator/Chemeketa Learning Cloud <http://learningcloud.chemeketa.edu> Chemeketa Community College, Salem, Oregon 503.399.5168, Bldg. 9, Rm. 211 friday.valent...@chemeketa.edu
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.
