Salomeh,

We get a lot of our streaming videos from Films.com (formerly FMG,
formerly Films for the Humanities and Sciences).  They have options
for streaming from their servers and from your own.. though the latter
isn't working yet I believe.

Our head of Media Services also negotiates deals with distributors on
a one by one basis for rights to locally digitize and stream content
for specific high use titles.  As I understand the current state of
things, most (or at least many) distributors of non-feature film type
content are willing to make deals, but they don't have the money,
infrastructure, etc, to deliver content, so they work is left to the
individual institutions--Films.com being the biggest exception.  Most
of them do not yet have a standard policy in place for pricing, etc,
either, so you have the chance to negotiate for the streaming rights.

There's a listserv that deals with these kinds of issues:
videolib at lists.berkeley.edu

And you may want to look at what the CCUMC has to offer:

We'd love to add a book carousel display on our website to highlight
our new titles and/ or other collections.

I'm thinking of displaying 3 or 4 book covers at a time, either
auto-scrolling or with left-right buttons.

Perhaps each image would have also have a mouse-over pop-up with more
information -- book summary, reviews, or whatever. Clicking on a cover
would of course link directly to the OPAC record.

Anyone have any favorite examples of this from the library world?

Colleagues



I am pleased to announce the availability of my presentations that were 
recently given in Ireland earlier this month:



The Paradigms They Are A-Changin' > The Future Of Research And Scholarship: 
Open / Semantic / Social / Mobile



There are four major themes that are and will become the context and 
framework of research and scholarship in the 21st Century: Open / Semantic / 
Social / Mobile:



Open >



Open Access / Open Data / Open Peer Review / Open Research



Semantic >



Audio / Interactivity / Supplemental Content / Video



Social >



Science Blogging / Social Bookmarking / Social Networking / Social Software



Mobile >



Mobile Access / Mobile Content / Mobile Data / Mobile Research



In scheduled presentation(s), we will briefly profile select developments 
related to these major themes and speculate on their potential evolution and 
impact on research and scholarship in the coming decade(s).

Please excuse duplication.  Please forward to interested colleagues and 
other listservs.

_Cataloging & Classification Quarterly_ will be publishing a special issue 
on 21st-century challenges for library administrators in the management and 
strategic planning of operations and personnel in cataloging and metadata 
departments.  The guest editor is looking for articles that articulate new 
directions and opinions, as well as case studies, related to re-visioning, 
repurposing, establishing efficiencies, and/or redirecting both workflows 
and personnel within cataloging and metadata departments.  Articles that 
examine how to justify and/or defend what are commonly known as 
â?obehind-the-scenesâ? or â?oback-endâ? library operations and personnel 
in the current budget crisis are especially timely.  The guest editor is 
looking for a wide range of international participation, so proposals from 
authors outside of the United States are encouraged.  Articles can be of any 
length, and figures and screen shots are encouraged.

If you are interested in contributing, please send the guest editor your 
name, a short proposal of the topic, and a tentative title for the article. 
Deadline for proposals is September 1, 2009.  Articles would be due to the 
guest editor by January 1, 2010.  Any questions can be directed to the guest 
editor.  Thank you.

Interesting David Carr article in the NY Times about Google and its book 
scanning.

Carr makes the observation that "Google is, broadly, the Wal-Mart of the 
Internet, a huge force that can set terms and price â?" in this case free 
â?" except Google is not selling hammers and CDs, it is operating at the 
vanguard of intellectual property."

He also quotes Google CEO Eric Schmidt as saying "What I think is great 
about books is that people just donâ?Tt go to libraries that much, but they 
are in front of the computer all day."
