Hi- Our website is going through a change this FY, but this is what we have now:
>From our home page you can click on Video and Sound to see streaming databases, with a link to the catalog, which has a searching feature for video and sound. The Video and sound search captures catalogued streaming titles, but unfortunately, only calls them them as e-resources now. http://www.lib.neu.edu/ Debra On 7/9/10 2:34 PM, "Scott Spicer" <spic0...@umn.edu> wrote: > 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.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
