[LIBRARYDIR] streaming databases and models for sharing costs

[Kanne, Lynn]

At Seattle Central, a few  years back eLearning covered FoD and then was unable to sustain that support. As of this year changes to the fee structure have made it possible for eLearning to budget for some online subscriptions that support eLearning modes. Librarians have not yet decided what to add with these funds.

We use library funds to subscribe to Films on Demand and to cover patron driven Kanopy licensing.

Subject: [LIBRARYDIR] streaming databases and models for sharing costs


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.



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!



Thank you,

Candice
