Re: [Videolib] Streaming feature films
That's for sure, Swank is not cheap. We are getting a few streams from them to check out the service but I think they will prove way too expensive to obtain much from them in the long run. Otherwise we are contacting smaller companies directly and negotiating streaming rights for varying prices and amounts of time. We get streams in support of classes, especially for distance learning and for courses at our regional campuses, since these students are non-residential and cannot easily get to the library to view or check out media. However, on campus courses are also making use of streams so that class time can be used for teaching rather than screening films and so that large classes have easier access to the film. Faculty can then make viewing assignments to students in the same way the make reading assignments. Especially for large classes, having the streams facilitates this. Screening in class is still being done where it makes pedagogical sense, of course.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming feature films
Is it $5.00 per student on the whole campus or students enrolled in courses that would stream Swank's product? The ultimate irony here is that I tried years ago to alert Swank to a lot of ILLEGAL streaming in classes of their films. Their response ? It is just classroom and we don't do classroom because they have an exemption. Apparently the studios or someone finally explained to them that streaming is not covered under the face to face exemption. On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 1:45 PM, Sarah E.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming feature films
Yes Swank does it. I assumed that is who you were referring to re pricing. Both Criterions do it too. I think small companies, Kino, Milestone, Zeitgeist would probably do it for a fairly reasonable fee. I remain cynical of streaming for feature films because there are far too many that can not be licensed and probably never will be, including Chaplin films, the majority of foreign language films etc. I think the studio product may well come down to a reasonable price but unless the course in question is Warner Bros films of the 30s, you won't be able to clear many of the titles.
