[LIBRARYDIR] Streaming licenses versus DVD purchases

[Mindy Coslor]

Hi Tammy,

We've never had a centralized system like you have to push video content to the classroom.  A few years back we started subscribing to Films on Demand, which is streaming educational video.  The faculty seem to like it a lot.  They control which segments they want to show and when to start or stop the video.  Some faculty still ask for DVDs and come to the library to check them out.  Every classroom has a teaching podium with a computer so they show the DVD themselves.  We have not purchased streaming licenses for individual DVDs in F2F or online classes.

In a related topic:  for Canvas eLearning classes, do all of you, as copyright officers, feel protected by The TEACH Act when faculty want to stream video or make print content available?  I'd appreciate some professional development or discussion on The TEACH Act.

Thanks,

Mindy

Hi, all,

Do your libraries or media services still purchase videos or DVDs for faculty to use in their courses, whether face-to-face or online?  Has your college moved toward the purchase of streaming licenses?  If so, whose budget pays for the licenses and who handles the purchasing and tracking of them?  If a campus-wide license for some titles is purchased for one faculty member, how do you let other faculty know what titles are available?

Thanks for any feedback you can give me.

Tammy
