I just called Criterion and it seems they are streaming to institutions. They charge for the MP4 and the length of time you want to stream. Negotiate! I was able to reduce the price somewhat by buying multiple titles. We haven't inked any agreement yet but I am pursuing. Best, Jo Ann Jo Ann

Sorry but I am a total technical idiot. Does this mean they provide you with the film in digized format and you stream it or they stream it and you can access it? Either way I am glad they are now in the game, now we all need to gang up on Criterion/Janus who still does not allow streaming on

Jo Ann, What does length of time you want to stream it mean? Does that mean the period of time during which it will be available to students (e.g. a particular semester or a few weeks during a semester during which students could access the title through a CMS, etc.)? Or does it mean the total

It means the length of the license to stream. They offered me up to a 5 year stream. You load the MP4 to your streaming server and can stream it for the term of the license. Best, Jo Ann Jo Ann Reynolds Reserve Services Coordinator University of Connecticut Libraries 369 Fairfield Road, Unit
