Jeff et al I suspect that the issue of accessibility, particularly captioning and/or subtitles is going to heat up, given the lawsuit against MIT and Yale.
Next week Jane Hutchison and I will launch a revised version of our survey on streaming video in academic libraries. The revised survey includes a new section on captioning in streaming videos. Just as our 2013 survey established baseline data on streaming video in general, we hope this new survey will do the same on captioning/subtitle data. We will post an invitation to complete the surge with a link to the survey next week. -deg deg farrelly Media Librarian/Streaming Video Administrator Arizona State University Libraries Tempe, AZ 85287-1006 602.332.3103 >Hi, Videolib ?

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.
