I would love it if something like canistream.it existed for academic streaming licensing. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of which platforms to search (Docuseek2, Kanopy, etc).

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.
