Where we can't purchase streaming rights for a film and it is available from Netflix, Blockbuster, iTunes, or HuluPlus we will let the faculty member know and offer to make a link to the vendor of choice in our course reserve system so students can easily navigate to the resource and set up an account if they don't already have one.

We're considering suggesting this to faculty-it seems no different or more expensive than requiring the purchase of a textbook or software, but I wondered if anyone else had experience with this or a similar scenario.

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.
