Hiya Susan, Welcome back. I initially compiled this information several years ago. It has since been updated by Ursula Schwartz, Ex. Director, NMM.
It's primary purpose was to serve as a "jumping point" to bring about awareness of the various vendors, and their licensing options. The complex, and fluid world of digital streaming options makes it nearly impossible to create a definitive list. If you would like to take on the task of staying abreast of all the changes, and updating the list, then I don't think anyone would argue with you. Lol I would strongly encourage media Librarians to consult with suggested vendors for more up-to-date, and in-depth information about streaming initiatives. Just my $.02.

Job changed, moved offices, etc. I've returned as part-time media with full-time reference librarian duties. You can take media out of the job, but you can't keep the librarian away from media (or something like that). I looked at the list on the VRT site and it needs some updating. Who should be doing that? Streaming vendors are modifying their terms all the time, in the sense of length, perpetuity, etc. Susan ghand...@library.berkeley.edu<mailto:ghand...@library.berkeley.edu> wrote: Check out: http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/rts/vrt/vrtconferenceinfo/streamingvendor.cfm Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for streaming video vendors. I'm looking for mostly education packages. thanks!
