We have licensed about 60 titles from PBS. PBS used to have an online list of the titles that were available to be licensed for streaming (it was a fairly small list, I would guess under 500 titles), but I just checked the URL and it no longer works. The terms and pricing have been significantly different each time we've licensed content (2005 - last year).
Farhad, since you are also in Texas we likely have the same rep. I'll send you her contact information off list. Frontline has a pretty good selection of programs available to view online, some dating back to the 80s and 90s. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/view/ Thanks, Kim Stanton Head, Media Library University of North Texas kim.stan...@unt.edu P: (940) 565-4832 F: (940) 369-7396 From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Moshiri, Farhad Sent: Monday, May 21, 2012 10:40 AM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] PBS streaming video Do you have a subscription with PBS streaming video? How much it costs? What is the contact information? I see a lot of recent programs free online. But all of them say for personal use in their terms of use. I have noticed too that these free online programs are all new episodes. How can I get subscription for all PBS documentaries old and new? I'm mostly interested in American Experience (especially, Eyes on the Prize), Frontline, etc. Thanks.

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.
