Hi Scott and Lorraine, NJEDge (the non-profit research and education network - www.njedge.net) is already providing the commercial video hosting program nationally and at a reasonable cost through NJVID (www.njvid.net). We currently have arrangements with over 80 streaming vendors and we do occasionally partner with vendors who do not have a streaming platform and are willing to provide streaming rights to institutions.
Please feel free to contact us offline at i...@njvid.net and visit http://www.njvid.net/services/commercial-videos.php to learn more about the service. regards, - Sujay ---- *Sujay Daniel * Program Manager, NJVID Chief Technology Officer, NJEDge NJVID - New Jersey's Digital Video Repository - www.njvid.net NJEDge.Net - New Jersey's Research & Education Network - www.njedge.net NJTrust - New Jersey Trust Repository - www.njtrust.net On Mon, Aug 31, 2015 at 4:16 PM, scott spicer <spic0...@umn.edu> wrote: > Hi Lorraine, > > I can appreciate your predicament and agree it is a significant challenge > (even if you were insanely experienced working with producers and > streaming).

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.
