Hi everyone, One of my streaming subscriptions is getting very low usage. I mean, VERY low. I have records for the titles in our online catalog with links to the streaming site, and also have put stickers on the corresponding DVDs to let people know that these are available in streaming. Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything else standard I should be doing to make these accessible to our patrons? Is it time for me to consider dropping this subscription? It's not particularly expensive but I would really like to see more use.
I initially subscribed to these titles based on reports I generated in our system of high-use DVD titles. Thanks, Sarah Sarah E.

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.
