  2. Digital Video Delivery Project • NJEDge.Net: Subcommittee on Digital Video Delivery (2004) to investigate & develop a pilot project in delivering video content over our NJEDge.net network • VALE Standing Committee (2005) charged with identifying, licensing & incorporating streaming video content for the VALE member libraries Content Delivery

  3. Collaborative Benefits • Content is driving project • IT staff and Librarians working together and understanding user and technical support • Better pricing: content & access • Standardization • Equity and access

  4. VOD Instructional Advantages • Access to content any time, any place • Easily construct clips to meet instructional needs • More titles can be purchased with digital delivery rights • Online students can obtain the same content as classroom students • Increased bandwidth and technological infrastructure stable enough now to provide quality videos

  5. Catalog Access • Direct access to FMG titles can be provided through the library OPAC http://www.wpunj.edu/library/ • Creation of Playlists is automated through the FMG Admin tab • Playlist URL can be inserted into the MARC record field 856 with EZProxy prefix attached • Records can be derived from existing copy

  6. Access Control • FMG is implementing EZProxy and LDAP authentication • Users do not need special FMGOnDemand.com usernames and passwords to view videos • Same authentication used for library databases, etc. • Only users who want to create new playlists require FMG usernames. Most will not.

  7. Progress to date • Held numerous joint and separate meetings to inform our key members • Had a demonstration from Films Media Group and access to their trial database • Met on our respective campuses and demonstrated the capability of digital delivery • Developed a list of 250 titles & distributed to our sister institutions for ranking in order of preference • From that ranking, VALE negotiated purchasing 50/100/250 title packages at considerable savings

  8. Pilot Project, FY 06 • Worked with Films Media Group to develop a license procedure of their content for digital delivery http://www.fmgondemand.com/vale • 14 institutions purchased 50/100/250 title packages • Assess through surveys and use statistics after a full semester of access • Continue to seek funding for additional titles and hardware to support this venture

  9. 2006-2007 Pricing • Choose any title from the FMG on demand collection and only one institution needs to own the title and you buy only the digital rights for download • Committee will work on publicity • Committee will continue to work with NJEDge.Net for statewide access through a video streaming server • Committee will seek state funding opportunities to continue the project
