Re: [Videolib] Public Librarians... Hoopla??
I've been trying to follow the conversation but I'm out of the country. We don't own any steaming content to my knowledge. But we do own the DVDs of everything we stream. At least so far. Wait that's not Entirely true. We license the group package statewide from Alexander Street press ... That's a lot of video, None of it we own. But it's not an on demand setup. I'll ask our col-dev person about it.

Re: [Videolib] Public Librarians... Hoopla??
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.
