[Web4lib] conference video presentations

[Rowan Brownlee]

Hello all,

Wouldn't it be great if more conference & seminar organisers provided
access to video presentations?  Imagine being able to hear & see the
presenter rather than just downloading a paper or a powerpoint
presentation.

Here is an example of this sort of initiative in action.  The subject
matter may or may not be of interest but it is a great example of what is
possible (& hopefully what will catch on).

We might see something like subscription based registers of
conferences/seminars - all making their presentations available for
download - select your preferences & the service would identify & notify
you of related streams.

bye
