[LIBRARYDIR] Streaming media quick survey

Tue Feb 12 19:15:28 PST 2013

1.       Yes.

2.       Films on Demand;  Ambrose Video (no longer)

3.       No.  Neither the Profs nor the students seemed to like the videos.

4.       Watch the dropping of a film without notice.  They all seem to do this.

1.      Yes.

2.      Skagit subscribes to Films on Demand.

3.      Yes. We love it.  Faculty love it.  Works well in classrooms and in online classes.

4.      We wanted to add all film titles to our catalog, but discovered that films would come and go.  That made it problematic.

We are beginning to look into streaming media to support some instructional programs at Edmonds CC and we will be meeting with our IT folks to talk about this, especially about ensuring that there would be sufficient bandwidth to enable students and faculty to access and view the streaming media.

1. Does your library subscribe to any streaming media services or have you purchased any individual streaming media titles?

2. If so, what kinds of streaming media have you acquired?

3. Has there been much usage of your streaming media collection?

4. Is there any advice you would offer, or wish you had received, about acquiring streaming media collections?

Thank you very much for any information you would be willing to share!
