Hi Scott, We have a dedicated search tab for "music and video" on the front page: http://library.unlv.edu/
I also set-up a LibGuides specifically for licensed streaming content. It's not fully populated yet, but it's on its way: http://guides.library.unlv.edu/onlinemovies. Can't cross-search the content though the way USC does. Hope these are the kind of examples you are looking for.

Sent by: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu Collective brains, Our library is undergoing a website redesign using Drupal CMS, and fortunately, the web design team has decided to privilege media search/ discovery (images, audio, video) on a tab right along side books and journals/articles. I have been charged with leading on consulting the design of this tab. Within the media tab, I am planning to have 3 sub tabs for video, images, and audio, each a little different reflected by the ways in which the respective media is discovered by their users. I am also proposing to add some additional functionality for federated search based on what we can technically offer (somewhat limited). From a video perspective, this also provides us an opportunity to not only offer traditional catalog video search, but perhaps promote/ search intergrate some licensed streaming content (mostly in the catalog already), our Media Services, and a for now, a link to curated open video collections. For an example of what I am describing please see USC's "Images" tab using Webfeat: http://www.usc.edu/libraries/ Please share some innovative media search interfaces at yours or other institutions. So far, the only institutions I have found that have explicitly dedicated media search on the main page at the same level as books/journals are UofTexas (CD/DVD), UofWashington (Audio and Video - no Image), USC (Image only), Uof Illinois (Media), Kansas (Images search off to the left side).
