We subscribe to Films on Demand, Health Collection and ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health. Films on Demand gets quite a bit of use even though many of the videos are aimed at the lay person. The ProQuest one, not so much. The videos are harder to find. At ALA, ProQuest did say that they were going to be adding many more MedComm videos (1,000+) to the database.

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!
