NASIG 2016

The University of Northern Colorado Libraries have experienced a surge in streaming video requests in the past few years. Like others, UNC's Techical Services department has found new ways to manage procedures and workflows associated with this format. Since no two streaming video requests are the same, flexibility is required. This session will cover methods for handling: streaming video databases, licensed content ripped from DVD, firm orders, and multi-year streaming licenses. It will also discuss using existing tools, such as an ILS and ERM, to leverage content, track expiration dates, and manage various purchase types. These resources cross typical bounderies of monographs and serials, and therefore require more coordination throughout their lifecycle. The presenters will share their experiences and strategies, but will allow time for attendees to share any further tips and tricks from their libraries.
