Streaming Video Resources for Teaching, Learning, and Research (Paperback)

In less than ten years, the availability of digitally converted or born-digital video has grown exponentially. Libraries and librarians are constantly navigating, and helping their patrons to navigate, this shift from analog to digital. For access to video, our libraries are challenged by an individual consumer marketplace where institutional access is often limited and expensive. Due to limitations of streaming content, licensing and copyright issues for use in learning management systems and public performance screenings, and time and budgetary issues surrounding the conversion of analog to digital formats, public and educational institutions are still reliant on physical formats. Patron demand is changing, and we have to look in places other than our collections to find the online video resources patrons need. For individuals, online and streaming video has saturated the consumer market for popular television shows and movies, but the market is fragmented and competitive.
