I've been talking to CDIGIX about licensing some of our videos to
stream out and authenticate through Blackboard.
QUESTION: What are your experiences with streaming videos from your
collection, other vendors, any thoughts or comments on this topic
will be great appreciated.
Thanks,

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of is=
sues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic contro=
l,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in librarie=
s
and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an
effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of
communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video
producers and distributors.
