Re: [Videolib] DVD vs. Blu-ray
I continue to buy DVD format for all genres. Blu-ray is preferred for feature films for our Film Division faculty -- with a few exceptions. Most of our electronic classrooms on campus for courses outside of film do not support Blu-ray players yet. DVD and Blu-ray are still preferred for projection -- I agree with Meghann's points here. We have had mixed experiences with projection of streaming video. I also consider it important to continue to collect the artifact -- we will have it into the future. For feature film content, DVD is still the format that provides the largest catalog in support of our curricular and research needs. I acquire streaming video either through purchase or subscription database collections if the content supports our curricular and research needs. We prefer when MARC records are provided and can link from our catalog -- this remains a relevant discovery tool. Streaming licenses for individual titles are acquired if requested for course reserves. If we have the streaming access through a database, we link to it through a reserves list or faculty can provide link through their course module. If we purchase the license specifically for a course -- we link from the reserves list. As all of us are facing major budget challenges in support of streaming -- and I assume many of us are still facing workflow issues.

Re: [Videolib] Promised Land
This is an excellent question. I think the issue here is perpetual access. The subscription service does not provide perpetual access. The library should have the right to replace the VHS with a hard copy in accepted format such as DVD. I also agree with Michael's point of use and purpose -- the hard copy is required for research and teaching needs.

Re: [Videolib] An outrageous pricing model
Neil -- I am guessing that this is for total campus and not for the individual class. Likely the license extends to the campus community.

Re: [Videolib] No more DVDs?
Thank you Jonathan Miller for reaching out to this community of librarians involved in curating these collections. My apologies for coming late to the conversation but want to add a few thoughts. First, I second these comments -- and emphasize that budget is a major concern for both large and small universities and colleges. DVDs are more affordable and offer a longer-term collection building model. Models based on short-term subscription, PDA, etc. are difficult to budget for and as you know -- we operate on fiscal year spending cycles. Based on earlier responses to this thread and another active discussion on streaming -- many of us are deciding to focus purchase on license in perpetuity for the life of the file and limiting to purchase when the film is needed for a class reserves. Another concern -- streaming for presentation and classroom use. This can be an issue depending on network capacity, quality of the digital file etc. -- Another issue, the ability to pull clips from a DVD is a favored option for instructional use as well -- this should be an option with a streamed file. I think offering the option for DVD purchase is essential -- at least for the near term.

Re: [Videolib] preferred streaming service
Monique, I agree that the tiered pricing needs further discussion. We seem to have consensus that there is a preference for titles needed for course reserves on a title by title basis however I question without attention to the tiered pricing models, is this sustainable. Most recently, I was working with a colleague to fill a long course reserves list for streaming access, most titles were not available, and two that were found to offer streaming license ended up costing more than $1,000 for purchase of DVD plus streaming. The two titles were feature films (already owned in DVD format purchased elsewhere for approximately $25 each long time ago), license is for in perpetuity as long as the file maintains -- which is questionable, and we have to host the content locally. I don't know if this is a sustainable model as we are only going to see requests for streaming access for course reserves increase. We are unable to fill all needs and the cost for these individual titles -- some of which only offer one-year terms. I think PDA is an interesting model however it is difficult to predict budget needs. I am not in favor of a model that may be turned off during a budget year because usage was higher than expected. We had this happen last spring -- which resulted in messages back to our users that the institution does not license this title, which resulted in our technical staff needing to pull titles not purchased for one-year from the catalog. Workflows in multiple departments were impacted. This is separate from the acquisition budget issue but still an important consideration for these new service models. EBA is interesting -- have you tried EBA? I appreciate this conversation!

Re: [Videolib] preferred streaming service
I too agree. We are in the process of formulating a policy for streaming as new models emerge -- which has been under discussion and evaluation for many years. What seems to make the most sense in relation to course and research needs, library budget and workflow, is to move forward with database purchases (after careful evaluation of content) and limit title by title access for streaming license to those films specifically requested for course reserves as required viewing. This is an issue as the "curated" databases don't always include what is needed specifically for courses, we will need to pursue license for individual titles and accept that only a small but growing percentage of those films will we be able to obtain license for. The database packages are invaluable for the excellent content that continues to be in demand. I suspect the limited term agreements for individual titles are not sustainable in the long run -- whether it is locally hosted or linked to a hosting service by the vendor for a multitude of reasons -- budget being a major factor. I prefer in perpetuity but recognize that this is impossible in many cases. Nancy On Mon, Oct 12, 2015 at 1:28 PM, Carla Myerswrote: > I agree with everything Deg has said.

Re: [Videolib] Who do you report to?
Our media operations has always been supported by the undergraduate reserves department. Until four years ago, reserves reported to the director of the history and humanities division -- reserves now reports to the director of access services. I continue to report to the director of the history and humanities division -- we are all subject selectors and public service librarians. I continue to be the main selector for the media collection and to some extent less involved in the operations -- however this is difficult to nearly impossible since expertise is required for many questions that arise e.g., streaming, copyright, public performance, VHS to DVD preservation project, etc. -- I am directly involved with these issues. Both directors report to an associate university librarian (one of three) that reports to the university librarian.
