The Unsustainable Cost of Streaming Videos: Creating Openly Accessible Alternatives

Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

This session discusses the creation of a curated collection of openly accessible media in response to the expanding need, faculty demand, and rising costs related to commercial streaming video services as instructional tools in online courses. Given the context of COVID-19 and the push to move classes to online formats, the need and demand for streaming media content has only increased, while library budgets have continued to shrink. Presenters will outline the many challenges libraries face in providing instructors with quality commercial video content, including limitations related to cost, format, and interlibrary loan restrictions.
