Important Survey If You Use Library Online Videos

The business of academically-oriented video streaming currently is undergoing dynamic changes.  Recently we have trialed several new services, and we appreciate the great feedback we received from the faculty.  As yet, we have not identified one streaming service that meets most of the needs of our campus.  Indeed, there may not be a one size fits all service available.

Before we arrange one final trial (this time with Kanopy  which will run after the spring break), we would like to survey the faculty on which online videos you plan on re-using from our current streaming service.  This survey is important, as we may need to discontinue our service with Alexander Street Press this August in order to subscribe to a new video streaming service for the next academic year.  We currently subscribe to the following collections with Alexander Street Press:  American History in Video; Counseling & Therapy in Video; Education in Video; and Filmakers Library Online.

Please email the list of video titles you are interested in re-using (or any comments) to Judy.Diffenderfer@marist.edu.   We thank you for your time and support.
