2013-08-08 Thread Randal Baier

Hi Laura, well here are two examples in the shape of an "idee"not an answer. 

We own and stream "killing us softly 4" which cost us about $350 inc. the 
streaming Fee. We have at least 700 people per year watching that film at least 
once, so $0.50 per view. 

On the other hand we own "sweetgrass, " which i bought for both aesthetic and 
sociological reasons, at about the same price, and we have maybe 6 viewings per 
year. what is that, $50+ per view per year? 

maybe somewhere there is a better balance overall from a collection point of 
view . 

That's all, i have no real answer, but i think some of the "pay per class" rent 
when you need it schemes might work. 

The one thing that does concern me is the Neo-liberal "everyone pays their own 
way" concept that seems to be behind some of this. Yet another fee added to 
student course costs, etc.

Cheers, Randal Baier

We have seen variations on this them over the last decade or so for ebooks
and digital media.  It can be an administrative and budgeting nightmare.
 The more successful models allow access to a selection for users, the
library pays for a predetermined number of uses with the option for
additional use.  Sometimes a certain level of use triggers a
purchase(patron driven acquisition).  It is a reality.

Our Media Library merged with the main library on campus.  Some discussion has

I have a question about some of the business titles, in particular, from

Re: [Videolib] Community Media check out

2013-08-08 Thread Deg Farrelly
Our video collection is open to the general public.  But they must have a
community borrower's card, which comes at a very steep annual price.

Some of our videos come with terms that the video cannot be loaned.  We
note that in the item record and on the packaging, so that we do not loan
outside of the university.  There are very few companies that do this.

It's been a long long long time since I measured the data (I initiated the
policy at a time that videos were still limited to 3 days, and only to ASU
members).  The assumption was that the "community" would pick our shelves
clean, using us like Blockbuster, and that we would not be able to get our
materials back.

Surprisingly, the data (from long long ago) showed that what the community
borrowed was NOT the feature films, but the content they cannot get at the
video store (thenŠ now Netflix, RedBox, etc.)

That is, they borrowed language series, the social justice documentaries,
the STEM contentŠ.   AND they were quite good about returning the
materials on time.

As for faculty and student borrowingŠ. Well that is another story.

And for faculty who complain that "Their" video is not available when they
come it to pick it off the shelf, we gently remind them that their failure
to plan ahead does not constitute the need for policy change for us.  We
offer a media booking system that protects the availability of the videos
they need on the day they need it.

Community members can also view our videos in house.  While some of our
streaming videos automatically authenticate when accessed on campus, as we
move to self-hosting, access with require user authentication, so
community access to streaming video will not be possible.

[Videolib] Patron Driven Acquisition for Streaming Video

2013-08-08 Thread Deg Farrelly
In response to Laura's questionŠ

Until very recently there have not been PDA models for streaming video in
the US.  FMG's Films on Demand piloted a PDA model with the Arizona
University Libraries Consortium (AULC) in 2008.  At the time there were no
subscription models for streaming video, only the "shopping cart" approach
of individual title selection and purchase.

The FMG/AULC pilot resulted in the development of Films on Demand, and the
demise (to the best of my knowledge) of the only PDA model for streaming
video.

Now two other companies are beginning to provide PDA models for streaming
video.

Alexander Street Press is rolling out a model.  Currently running in
Scotland as an "evidence based acquisition" model.

And Kanopy, an Australian company, where PDA has been a very successful
model, has entered the US market.  They will be one of the exhibitors at
the National Media Market in November (see links in my signature)
