[Videolib] Streaming video vendor guide

[Stanton, Kim]

Hi all,

Has anyone put together a guide that lists all of the vendor-hosted educational 
streaming video databases out there?  I believe Monique put  together a 
spreadsheet several years ago that listed distributors offering digital rights, 
but I don't see it on the VRT site anymore.

If no one has done this, I can get something started.  If someone has compiled 
this info, it would be great to link from the VRT or NMM site.  There have been 
several messages on the listserve lately of folks looking into streaming 
collections. I think this kind of resource would be of use to them.

Thanks,
Kim

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video vendor guide

[Jo Ann Reynolds]

Hi Kim,

A great idea and I have been haranguing vendors about an "itunes" like store 
where all videos and video streams can be listed. For a book there are places 
you can go and do a single search by title, even for songs it's easier, but 
video is like the Tower of Babal, hundreds (thousands?) of websites and no one 
place to search by title, subject, director, etc. Maybe they could use 
something like Summon to search all their respective databases. That way they 
can keep their independence and still be more discoverable.

Best,
Jo Ann

Re: [Videolib] physical vs. streaming collection development policies

[Nellie J Chenault]

Budgets:  We have been purchasing and subscribing to digital media through
our electronic database budgets, not our film budget lines.  This is
similar to the transition to print journals and ebooks.  The electronic
content had separate budget lines; use of these new resources eventually
allowed reduction in serial and some monograph budgets.

The media databases replace some videos/dvd's, but also introduce new items
to the collection.  This has greatly reduced the need for individual media
purchase in subject areas well covered by the databases.  But, most media
needs are not yet covered by these databases.

Good luck!

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video vendor guide

[Jo Ann Reynolds]

Thanks, Bob. This is a helpful start. I know having a central database is a big 
job but don’t you all want to sell more films and open up new markets?
Hopefully the NMM decided that the lovely web page they created for market 
attendees should be open to the world and not just to attendees.

Hi All,

Attached is the NMM list of company rights. The third to last column is for 
database subscriptions. It is two years old but upon a quick glance seems up to 
date.

Jo Ann, I did push for the NMM to create the iTunes type store when I was on 
the Board but the majority felt it was beyond the NMM mission. After speaking 
with some of the distributors I concluded many of them would not participate 
anyway. However, never say never. Circumstances and thinking change. Anything 
like Summon that would facilitate the process is a great idea.

Re: [Videolib] physical vs. streaming collection development policies

[Matthew Gallagher]

Hi Laura, 

A further consideration to the points made below: 

Single titles can be purchased through database offerings, such as Alexander 
Street Press. In certain instances, you may have a 'monograph' order even 
though a package purchase is more typical. 

Alternatively, if you have an internal server to stream titles, we anticipate 
instances where a librarian would want a streaming title to be permanently part 
of the collection even though we cannot attain a perpetual streaming license. 
Some may regard this an a recurring subscription, even though its detail may 
not be formalized. In other cases, they may want the title to only be streaming 
for a limited time, at which point they will reassess their financial 
commitment to the resource. Again, what people choose to consider this is 
rather subjective. 

Traditionally, we've tended to separate database, subscription and monograph 
funding. However, we've been having internal discussions as to how best 
approach each of these types of purchases as we move forward to provide more 
comprehensive streaming video services... 

Best,

Take a look at NJVid   www.njvid.net  which has a list of 
vendors with streaming rights.

Thanks, Bob. This is a helpful start. I know having a central database is a big 
job but don’t you all want to sell more films and open up new markets?
Hopefully the NMM decided that the lovely web page they created for market 
attendees should be open to the world and not just to attendees.

Hi All,

Attached is the NMM list of company rights. The third to last column is for 
database subscriptions. It is two years old but upon a quick glance seems up to 
date.

Jo Ann, I did push for the NMM to create the iTunes type store when I was on 
the Board but the majority felt it was beyond the NMM mission. After speaking 
with some of the distributors I concluded many of them would not participate 
anyway. However, never say never. Circumstances and thinking change. Anything 
like Summon that would facilitate the process is a great idea.

Hi Kim,



A great idea and I have been haranguing vendors about an ?itunes? like store 
where all videos and video streams can be listed. For a book there are places 
you can go and do a single search by title, even for songs it?s easier, but 
video is like the Tower of Babal, hundreds (thousands?) of websites and no one 
place to search by title, subject, director, etc. Maybe they could use 
something like Summon to search all their respective databases. That way they 
can keep their independence and still be more discoverable.



Best,

Jo Ann

Hi all,



Has anyone put together a guide that lists all of the vendor-hosted educational 
streaming video databases out there?  I believe Monique put  together a 
spreadsheet several years ago that listed distributors offering digital rights, 
but I don?t see it on the VRT site anymore.



If no one has done this, I can get something started.  If someone has compiled 
this info, it would be great to link from the VRT or NMM site.  There have been 
several messages on the listserve lately of folks looking into streaming 
collections. I think this kind of resource would be of use to them.



Thanks,

Jo Ann -

Coincidentally, the planning board of the National Media Market had decided to 
make the Preview Portal freely available through the end of October even if you 
weren't able to attend last year's Market. Go to http://nmm-previewportal.net/ 
to create a guest account.



You will also start finding links to the Preview Portal from some reviews in 
Educational Media Reviews Online. http://emro.lib.buffalo.edu/emro/



The exhibiting partners have been encouraged to load 10 minute clips, to give 
you a better feel for the film content than you get from a teaser clip.  Vendor 
specs include information about availability of streaming video option.



Try it out, let us know what you think.



Librarians registered for the 2013 NMM will receive access to the Preview 
Portal until the next market in 2014.

[Videolib] Streaming video vendor guide issue

[Jo Ann Reynolds]

Hi Everyone,

I thought the vendors out there might like to hear our (the buyers) stories 
about how we go looking for films. It might help them to understand what we go 
through and that would hopefully help them better understand the need for a 
centralized place to search.

So here I am, reserve services coordinator for a fairly large university. I 
used to put over 1000 books on reserve every year and now it's about 300. 
Instead of putting books on reserve I put links to full text articles, some 
3000+; ebooks, small but growing as availability grows; and video, both DVD's 
and streams. Video is the second largest medium I put on reserve and is the 
fastest growing medium I put on reserve, about 1000+ per year.

How do films get chosen to go on Reserve? Some faculty talk to other faculty 
and learn about them, others watch PBS or see a popular movie that will make 
the point they want to make, while others say to me, "I need a film(s) on X 
topic, can you suggest any?" So now I reach into my memory and might manage to 
retrieve one or two, I search the database of material I put on course reserve 
and see what other faculty are using and might come up with a few more. Beyond 
that, IF I have the time, I'm faced with a website to website search by vendor 
to see if I can find something they might be looking for. It's a cumbersome 
process and I tend to gravitate toward known vendors who've proven to provide 
quality films in the past and who have good search engines. I keep a list of 
those vendors in my media guide (see the Shop for Videos tab here: 
http://classguides.lib.uconn.edu/mediaresources ). By the time I've gone 
through some or all vendors on that list I'm done, no more time. So whether 
I've found anything or not I let the faculty member know. You might argue that 
there's a whole lot of filmmakers whose work is not represented here and you'd 
be right. The result is we both lose out on an opportunity.

Think of Amazon where multiple vendors sell the same thing and make money. The 
benefits of having a unified database far outweigh the perception of customer 
loss via competition with other film vendors. I think if you continue on this 
same path you will be committing market suicide in the long run and you will 
sell less, not more, which means you message will reach fewer people.

I invite other librarians to share how/why a unified search for video/streams 
would be useful to them.

Best,
Jo Ann

A unified search portal that offers preview clips would be ideal, though 
it probably would never include all the independent filmmakers and 
distributors. We do have some tools at hand though. I'm always surprised 
that more librarians don't use worldcat.org to identify potential 
titles, and find distributors for known titles.

So here I am, reserve services coordinator for a fairly large

now it's about 300. Instead of putting books on reserve I put links to 
full text articles, some 3000+; ebooks, small but growing as 
availability grows; and video, both DVD's and streams. Video is the 
second largest medium I put on reserve and is the fastest growing 
medium I put on reserve, about 1000+ per year.


How do films get chosen to go on Reserve? Some faculty talk to other 
faculty and learn about them, others watch PBS or see a popular movie 
that will make the point they want to make, while others say to me, "I 
need a film(s) on /X/ topic, can you suggest any?" So now I reach into 
my memory and might manage to retrieve one or two, I search the 
database of material I put on course reserve and see what other 
faculty are using and might come up with a few more. Beyond that, IF I 
have the time, I'm faced with a website to website search by vendor to 
see if I can find something they might be looking for. It's a 
cumbersome process and I tend to gravitate toward known vendors who've 
proven to provide quality films in the past and who have good search 
engines. I keep a list of those vendors in my media guide (see the

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video vendor guide issue

[sonia maltais]

JoAnn's point is of great concern to all librarians and that is
why National Media Market's portal is such a great idea. It can become a
one-stop place to evaluate new titles. I think from a vendor's point of
view it shows us the importance of making the portal a viable tool for our
clients.

Amen to what Jo Ann has outlined here.  I had her precise scenario arise in my 
workflow today:  prof walks in, tells me she will be doing a freshman tutorial 
on "Food" and wonders what we might have that could be helpful to her.  Because 
I know our collection well, I steer her to 10-12 films, including King Corn, 
The Future of Food, The World According to Monsanto, The End of the Line, 
Farmageddon, In Organic We Trust, Fresh, Food Stamped, What's On Your Plate?, 
etc.  However, as I realize we're probably lacking a bit on GMOs, I start 
looking around for docs on that topic.  It really, truly, is what Jo Ann 
describes:  "a website to website search by vendor"; which *is* cumbersome and 
*is* imperfect.  Bullfrog, Video Project, NFB, Films for the Humanities, etc. 
are known to me, and I head there... but I also wonder what I'm missing.

Perhaps one would be inclined to argue that the same is true with books.  
However, I would argue back that - at least in academe - we have Choice, which 
provides subject-specific scholarly peer reviews of new works by subject.  This 
makes it much, much easier to find up-to-date offerings in a particular area, 
with a peer review attached.  I *love* Video Librarian - particularly as 
something to pick up and scan through from cover to cover - but it reviews such 
a wide range of material that it simply doesn't cover enough.  Does that make 
sense?  Probably not, but as an example, I just searched "GMO" and got 0 
matches; searched "Monsanto" and turned up 8 matches (2 of which were actually 
pretty much "false positives").  I know that there have been many more 
documentaries made on this topic than 6.  Resorting to Google searches is an 
option, but it certainly makes it harder to ascertain the "scholarly review 
status" of what's out there - at least without a fair bit of (time-consuming) 
additional searching.

This is a long way of saying that I agree with Jo Ann.  As one who does 
acquisitions for both films and books, I can assure you that the film world is 
MUCH more labor-intensive and much more frustrating.  This is one reason I love 
attending National Media Market, as it makes discovery so much easier, and it 
provides an opportunity to get to know what particular vendors are particularly 
good at, so that when one of these faculty requests comes up, I have a bit of a 
sense where to begin my website to website search.  Attendance at NMM is a 
help; the preview portal is a help.  Still, I'd love to see a more complete 
mechanism for unified sear

Re: [Videolib] videolib Digest, Vol 66, Issue 41

[Bob Norris]

Makes total sense to me. I'll put Film Ideas on record as willing to 
participate in a central database. One hitch (of many I know) is what incentive 
there would be for someone to maintain such a database. You may have to buck up 
and subscribe to the service Jo Ann to make your life easier. Of course NMM has 
one started with the Preview Portal...

[Videolib] Streaming video vendor guide issue

[Jim Davis]

Regarding Kim's question about streaming vendor lists, Scott Spicer (U of MN) 
put together a good list on ALA Connect (http://connect.ala.org/node/183711), 
though it is not entirely complete (e.g. Media Education Foundation and New Day 
are missing). The list can be updated by any registered user, so maybe it can 
work as a community focal point?

As to Jo Ann's lament about the absence of one database to rule them all --  
it's a great idea. In a less grand way it was also one of the ideas behind 
Bullfrog Films and Icarus Films working together to set up Docuseek2, which 
also includes films from Terra Nova Films and now Kartemquin Films too. Not 
exactly exhaustive, but we set it up as a big tent for the founders and other 
distribs and independent producers in the academic social issue / documentary 
space.

Is this a good time to mention how affordable it is to attend the National

Scott Spicer put together a web page of streaming video collection

It is available here:  http://connect.ala.org/node/183711

I understand that this is an open wiki that others can contribute to.  It
does not list all possible video vendors who may provide streaming rights
