<p>At North the Library has done both models where we first subscribed to FoD on our own, then couldn't afford it and talked eLearning (at that time not under the umbrella of the Library) into splitting the cost; then eLearning couldn't afford it so we went
back to paying for it out of the Library's budget (not sure how). That's where we're at, at this point. But...ahem...now that both sets of budgets are mine to figure out how to manage, who knows?<br>

<p>Hello, we're feeling the very high costs of streaming video databases and the increasing demand for these resources among faculty. As I'm sure you've experienced, a campus really needs a variety of streaming databases to fill faculty needs - drawing from
FoD, Swank, and others.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>My question to you...does your Library partner in the subscription costs of these databases with eLearning? I'm just trying to figure out a way to share these costs because they are beyond what the library budget alone can take. Any alternative funding models
and ideas for providing multiple streaming databases to your campus would be appreciated!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
<p>Candice</p>
